This band played with Hilgers old band, Socially Unacceptable back in the day. That show was at the Riveria ('Watermania'). Then I saw the Powerknobs at the Bottom Lounge and these guys opened for 'em. Then we got booked with them (in a way) at US Beer Co -- it was MOBfest, but technically we weren't a part of that, we were just one of many bands playing in the basement while the MOBfest bands played upstairs. Except the basement show got canceled and we played upstairs. Long story.
This band kicks ass and has an awesome song called 'Satan and Lucifer'. Their bassist is awesome and has the Hipshot tuning peg to jump back and forth from normal/drop-D tuning. I've read about that but never seen it before. Much love and respect to these guys.
