The Shrine + Dirty Fences + Death Alley - 19.10.2014 - Arena Wien

Szene1.at 31.07.2014 18:40 "The Shrine plays loud, heavy rock‘n‘roll fueled by cheap beer and bad acid that combines the hook-laden appeal of ´70s garage rock and gritty ´80s hardcore with a skate punk energy." Eigentlich ist mit diesem Zitat bereits alles gesagt, The Shrine stehen auf alles was bl´ääääst! The Shrine sind ein klassisches Powertrio, Bass, Gitarre, Schlagzeug, verdachtsweise high as hell bzw. voll wie ne Haubitze, und optisch eine gelungene Mischung aus "My Name is Earl" und "Boogie Nights". Neben ihrer Vorliebe für cars, legs, beards cheap sunglasses, teilen Josh, Court und Jeff die Leidenschaft für pool skating und wicked lady . Musikalisch führt die Zeitreise in die späten 70er/frühen 80er, oldschool Westcoast-HC trifft klassischen 70s Hardrock bzw. Proto-Metal und Proto-Punk . "Another dose of pool skating, party crashing, sh*t kicking rock and roll!" Wicked Lady for President! theshrineband.com/ New York’s Dirty Fences are a rock ‘n roll band in the most timeless sense of the world. They chug through power chords at breakneck speed, but this isn’t about a punk sneer, a galvanizing against, but instead a gathering around. Too High to Kross is a series of heavy-hitting but party-light rock tunes that will get you banging your head and, sometimes, humming along. Songs such as “Heaven is Tonight” or “Under Your Leather” borrow from the Ramones or a more controlled version of the MC5, while other songs such as “Always on My Mind” or “What’s That Strange?” weave in a more theatrical size to the songs. Each of these is a brisk, energetic performance, one that might remind you of a rock history of which you weren’t necessarily a part. dirtyfences.bandcamp.com/ Behold Death Alley. The New Wave of Dutch Loudness gave birth to not just another band. No, thriving on the sharp edges of Motörhead’s rock and roll, soaked in MC5-fuelled protopunk and forged with Sabbath’s edginess, Death Alley brings a unique swinging rawness that savours of Blue Öyster Cult on steroids.Fresh from the basements of Amsterdam, Death Alley is here to show you a serious musical rock‘n‘roll statement. Death Alley combines ingenious but blistering guitar parts with and intensity of drumming that justifies the present-day existence of John Bonham’s Vista-Lite drum kit. Drums, guitar and the thundering bass riffs are topped off with husky vocals that remind you of nothing.The band – that features ex-members of Gewapend Beton, Mühr, and The Devil’s Blood – will surprise you with an unorthodox cross contamination of fine metal and rock ‘n roll tunes, crowned with a pitch black psychedelic soul cherry. In a rush to spread their musical weight over all of your ears, Death Alley presents its ‘Over Under/Dead Man’s Bones’ 7”. Live shows that will trigger the eardrums of old ‘n deaf rockers, and shred those of the still unspoiled youngsters, will be announced on their page. For now, get ready for their Dead Man’s Bones Tour. www.facebook.com/deathalleyband
