About The Curly Wolf

Diesel fuel, burning tires, and Fernet-Branca — that would be the aroma coming out of your speakers if you could smell the music. The Curly Wolf delivers a hard charging alt-country rock sound that comes from a variety of musical and cultural influences. Cash, Hank, Waylon… Rancid, The Misfits, Queens of The Stone Age… Trucks, Choppers, Vans…these are the common threads that brought these boys together to create an aggressive new music alternative to today’s standard country music.

Born on a Northern California ranch, Grant Benziger picked up the guitar at an early age and quickly developed his skills. He discovered punk and heavy metal through the local skate punk scene and immediately started putting his own bands together. At the ripe age of 14 he was fronting punk bands and playing bars and clubs he normally wouldn’t have been allowed to step foot in as a minor. His diesel-trucking brother soon showed him the ways of traditional and underground country music. Grant instantly took to the sounds of Hank Williams, Pasty Cline, Johnny Cash and many other old-time country legends. This influence began to meld with his current style and he began to develop his own aggressive rocking country sound.

Mike Bouchard spent most of his adolescent and college years in Georgia where he played in local punk and rock bands. In high school he quickly advanced to captain of the drum line, where he developed much of the chops he still uses in the band. After a move to Los Angeles, Mike opened Gasser Lounge in Redondo Beach — the place to go if you like your music loud and your drinks stiff! The bar would later play a key role in the creation and development of The Curly Wolf. Mike’s style is loud and heavy. He is the backbone to The Curly Wolf sound.

Matt Pliskin was born and raised in Los Angeles County’s South Bay. Growing up in an area responsible for bands like Black Flag, The Descendents, Circle Jerks, and Pennywise, Matt couldn’t help but be heavily influenced by the genre. He followed in the footsteps of these influences playing bass in various hardcore punk bands around the South Bay. It was through the sounds of rockabilly and pyschobilly that he realized the power of the upright bass. Matt and Grant attended the same music school in LA, but only linked up after answering an ad Grant posted looking for likeminded musicians. This was the start of The Curly Wolf.

From Nirvana and Metallica to The Wu-Tang Clan and NOFX, Billy’s musical influences run the gamut in punk, metal, and hip-hop. Billy played guitar in local punk and metal bands for over a decade. One day he heard some Bill Monroe and immediately fell in love with the mandolin and became fanatical about learning to master it. As a fan of The Curly Wolf, Billy really wanted to play with the guys, so he offered his services and started joining their set from time to time. It was an immediate and natural fit. He continued to play more and more Curly Wolf shows, so much so that they decided to make it official and the band now had a full time mandolin player. Billy’s aggressive yet beautiful (Mike likes to call it twinkly) sound on the mandolin really rounds out The Curly Wolf sound.

As previously mentioned, Mike’s Gasser Lounge played a key role in the formation of this group. Mike had received a copy of a unique cover Grant and Matt had made of “Die, Die, Die” by The Misfits. Mike instantly loved this version with Grant pickin’ the banjo and Matt slappin’ the upright bass. Mike decided to have them play the third anniversary party for his bar. Instantly a crowd favorite, this was the beginning of not only great new friendships but a new musical movement in the South Bay. Like the legendary punk bands that came before them, The Curly Wolf is rallying against the status quo. They are creating a harder, more aggressive style of country music that pays homage to its roots while trying to push the genre forward.

The problem with clowns is that it’s easy to dismiss them as a joke — but if you do that with Insane Clown Posse, then the joke’s on you. With record sales in the multi-millions and a loyal fanbase that is comparable only to that of the Grateful Dead, the Juggalo juggernaut has been trucking for 25 + years, and shows no sign of slowing down.

Much maligned and misunderstood, the band and the fan-created “Juggalo” world that surrounds them, are steeped in controversy — much of it being caused perhaps by over-literal interpretations of their tongue-in-cheek horrorcore lyrics. However, despite much-publicized brushes with the law, for many in the Juggalo community, Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are seen as saviors rather than sinners — their inclusive philosophy serving as a lifeline.

Very much in sympatico with the ethos of SuicideGirls, those in Insane Clown Posse’s world celebrate the strange, the weird, and the fucked up — and have an innate understanding that it’s these differences which make us beautiful. The Gathering of the Juggalos serves as a visceral illustration of this. Now in its 17th year, the Lollapalooza-like event — which takes place this year from July 20th thru 23rd at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio — is a family reunion for the disenfranchised and a festival for those from all walks of life who feel a need to get their freak-on.

Earlier this year, SuicideGirls caught up with Violent J (left), Shaggy 2 Dope (right), and Young Wicked (center) on their tour bus, in a nondescript parking lot somewhere near LAX. Read the full interview here.

About Turquoise Noise

Turquoise Noise is a Los Angeles-based, 5-piece alt-rock outfit with a penchant for spooky grooves and soaring choruses. The lineup features lead vocalist and frontman Evan Snyder, who provides searing, lush melodies and hypnotic call-to-action lyrics. Guitarists Brandon Villa and Bryce Darrow layer chiming rhythms and cutting melodic leads, while drummer Destin Rogers and bassist Brendan Snyder provide a strutting backbone to the whole. Turquoise Noise recently recorded their anticipated self-titled full-length debut at Lavish Studios, owned and operated by the late Scott Weiland, who graciously invited the band to make their record in his private studio and open his sold out homecoming show at the El Rey Theatre in June of 2015. Poised for festival stages worldwide, their live show evokes an atmosphere of driving rock n’ roll and an urgent need to shake your bones. The album’s opening track, “Tabula Rasa”, recently received national radio airplay on 95.5 KLOS, preceding their packed out debut performance in Hollywood. The new sound is upon us.

About Shana Halligan

Back To Me is the new album from sultry songstress Shana Halligan. Smart and sexy, the 13-track album challenges pre-conceived notions of pop music, as Shana mixes her trip-hop background with downtempo, electronic-charged modern jazz. (Check out the album in its entirety here.)

“This album is about love, loss, finding my way to happiness and peace, finding strength, owning and accepting my passion, my humanness, feeling weak, and feeling strong again,” says Shana. “Eroticism, vulnerability, fear, and the deepest gratitude I can imagine. Connection, expression and art. Saying goodbye to anyone who thought I couldn’t make it and not being afraid to let go, to just be me and all that comes with it.”

During and since her time as the lead singer/songwriter of Bitter:Sweet, Shana Halligan has sold more than 500,000 records and has accumulated over 70 album credits to her name. Other releases from Shana Halligan include her solo debut EP Paper Butterfly and 2012 album Richmond Parade.

She’s also collaborated with many major acts, including writing and recording with Serj Tankian of System Of A Down and Thievery Corporation (co-writing and performing their biggest hit in recent years “Depth Of My Soul”), and has performed at several celebrated venues across the nation, including the Hollywood Bowl, the Royal Albert Hall (London), the Bowery Ballroom (NYC) and the Hotel Cafe (L.A.). Outside of her own music, Halligan also writes for other artists and is developing a TV project that combines her love for music and passion for cooking.

About Charming Liars

Los Angeles (by way of the UK) alt-rock darlings Charming Liars are getting ready to release a record that they hope will position them near the top of the rock world. 12:31AM is the band’s fourth record and is a testament to their growth as artists. Since relocating from the UK to the sun and melody soaked streets of Los Angeles a few years ago, the band have been mainstays of the LA alt-rock circuit, with regular shows at venues like The Troubadour, Roxy, and the Satellite. Charming Liars have also seen success south of the border, with performances and radio play in Mexico and Brazil, where they have forged a devoted following. With the new record and an upcoming North American tour with Blaqk Audio and Night Riots, the band are hoping to bring some of that success back north of the border. Charming Liars are: Karnig Manoukian (guitar), Mike Kruger (bass), and Kiliyan Maguire (vocals).

About 222

222 is Jade Howard and Dennis Hamlin. The duo wrote and recorded the songs on their debut CD, Libretto, in their home studio, with the only other credit on the album going to Frank Rosato who mixed the record.

Howard and Hamlin are both prolific songwriters drawing musical influences from books, movies, and life experiences. Their first, “One Night Stand.” is loosely based on the Edgar Allen Poe story the Tell Tale Heart. The collection of songs on Libretto play much like an opera in that every song is a story. But don’t let the opera reference fool you, the album is a collection songs that will move and groove you from start to finish.

222’s creativity pours into all aspects of their artistic expression. The provocative self- produced videos made in support of Libretto are truly mini movies and the perfect visual companions to the songs featured on the album. Videos for “One Night Stand,” “Headcake,” and the lyric video for “Fair Weather Send Off” can be seen on the band’s YouTube Channel.

Respected music blogs DeliMagazine.com and LABuzzBands.com have both highlighted 222’s unique sound and songwriting talent. Their high energy live shows have built a strong following across the U.S. via a string of well attended club dates including a successful gig at the Red Gorilla Fest in Austin, TX. The band’s growing popularity is also due to airplay of the single “One Night Stand” on influencer radio stations such as KROQ in Los Angeles.

Catch 222 live in Los Angeles on June 15th at Boardner’s Club Moscow and in Houston on June 23, 24 and 25 at Warehouse Live. For more info visit 222’s website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube channel.
