STEREO
DYNAMITE RECORDINGS ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF TORONTO HORROR
SURF PUNK BAND THE von DRATS.
BAND
TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM "DRATSYLVANIA"
ON MARCH 9, 2010
Toronto,
ON - Stereo Dynamite Recordings are pleased to announce
the signing of surfing crypt keepers: The von Drats.
A band so terrifyingly groovy, one listen to their debut
album "Dratsylvania" and you'll
be trapped forever under their sonic spell!
Originally
hailing from the mysterious Dratsylvania, the band relocated
to Toronto in 2005 where their strange appearances (looking
like extras from The Addams Family or a cartoon hot rod
gang) and creepy, rowdy and kooky high energy surf punk
live shows have made them a favorite with the local late,
late, LATE(!) night ghastly Go-Go crowd.
The
lightning fast long arm of the drums, Leonard von Drat,
bids you welcome and keeps everyone in stitches with his
rapid fire wit. An uncontrollable wildman, Dave von
Drat sets the mood with the spooky sounding Farfisa
organ and spastic movements that would even leave old
Uncle Fester in shock. The big brother Trevor von Drat
quite easily transitions from being a calm and collected
surf guitar gentlemen to a garage rock growling life of
the party. The werewolf cursed DanO von Drat stares
wild eyed and lays down a solid and smooth bass foundation
for his savage kin to play over. The youngest brother,
Steve von Drat, is a surf guitar sharp-shooter
and a reverb tank riding creature that will leave you
in disbelief. Add to the mix on most nights, little sister
Holly von Drat twisting and shaking everyone into
a frenzy - and you've got a live experience that you'll
never forget!
The
band have just finished recording their self-produced
Stereo Dynamite debut album "Dratsylvania"
(set for a March 9th release date). Featuring 13
twangy and twisted tunes that should appeal to fans of
60's surf rock, horror punk, or classic monster movies.
"Dratsylvania" is the soundtrack
to the greatest, grooviest, demons-on-dirtbikes film you've
never seen.
The
von Drats are currently planning spring and summer tours.
Expect
a first video from the album "Dratsylvania"
to be announced shortly.
"Dratsylvania"
is in-stores March 9, 2010.
