ARTIST INFO
A 5 piece band from Northeast Los Angeles. This band has attitude. If you think California is the laid back land of sunshine, think again. This is no Hollywood glam band.
ABOUT:
BACK TO THE GARAGE
By Falling James (LA WEEKLY)
Beat Killers
The local group Beat Killers have the quintessential '60s garage-rock sound -- snarling caveman vocals, circus-y Farfisa organ, rumbling fuzz bass and raging surf guitars -- and juice it up further with punk rock tempos and distortion. There are only about a million such garage bands in the world today with the same retro ambitions, but Beat Killers stand out from the ratty pack with their boundless energy, deft chops and crafty songwriting. The lead singer's name is listed as only "!" (a la Question Mark of the Mysterians), and he howls over Danny Magana's primal tom-toms with a feral tenacity that evokes the Standells, the Troggs and the Seeds. Kenny Wessel shoots up tracks like "Gimme a Kiss" (from the Killers' iTunes CD, Beat, Broken, Bruised) with savagely efficient lead-guitar injections as "Speedie" John Carlucci (ex-Fuzztones) lays down some nimbly agile, sludgy-thick bass solos. Meanwhile, Laura Carlucci coats "Wha Cha Gonna Do" and "Kids Are Getting Restless" in a sheen of groovy keyboard accents, adding another layer of frenzy to the group's methodical madness.
