Event
Dragstrip Riot, The Boss Martians, Hard Money Saints & The Black Crabs
DRAGSTRIP RIOT:
"It makes more sense than you'd think for this Seattle group to list both the Misfits and Bo Diddley as influences. DragStrip's frenzied tracks play punk not as reductionist rock but as fired-up noir-blues, with lyrics yowling out an exorcism, and the old riffs following every seamy urge"

THE BOSS MARTIANS:
Fronted by guitar-smashing, soul singing, anthem-writing buzzbomb Evan Foster, Seattle's BOSS MARTIANS are thee Rock & Roll jet boys to look for in 2008! Got Songs?? HELL YES!! At least, that is, according to Rolling Stone's David Fricke who anointed them "rising stars" referencing their addictive hooks, killer tunes, and super-charged performance a couple years ago in New York City at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival alongside The Strokes and Iggy Pop (among many others!) SPIN Magazine, quick to get aboard, said "the Boss Martians' irresistible 'I Am Your Radio' should make them stars" regarding the Foster-penned Power Pop instant-anthem.
HARD MONEY SAINTS:
Hard Money Saints: Jack Rainwater, Guitar, Vocals. Guitar influences range from Iggy and The Stooges, Iron Maiden, Motor head Link wray and Carl Perkins. Vocal Influences, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Joe Strummer, Ian Hunter. Jacks guitar sound can move from a country boogie to a shredding metal solo in the blink of an eye, while vocally Jack likes to mix a little country crooning with some 70's hard rock stylings to keep things interesting. The style of songs vary enough and are delivered with such a rapid fire pace that audiences are engaged for the whole set. Hard Money Saints music originates from traditional Rockabilly and Country But adds the influences of modern rock punk and metal to create a unique more original sound.
THE BLACK CRABS:
A lot of people say the same thing about The Black Crabs. "You guys don't sound like anybody else." Sure, there's some rockabilly in there, and some rock and roll too. But there's also swing, jazz, and even a taste of spaghetti western. It's a refreshing update to the "authentic reproduction" approach of the rockabilly genre.
