With hot-rod imagery,demented surf guitar licks,and leather-clad southern regalia you'd think Mofos were from Southern California, not New York.
But a listen to their music makes it seem like they're from another planet altogether. Combining elements of Dick Dale, Link Wray, the Ventures, Motorhead and the Ramones, Mofos have created a genre unto themselves. Composed of lead guitarist/songwriter Gary Siperko, bassist Eric Trichon, and drummers Matt Saccucimarano and Brian Wilson (aka Willie B), the Mofos have been making a name for themselves in their hometown and beyond with their top-notch musicianship and original compositions.
Picture this: Siperko hunched over his Fender Strat, schreeching distortion out of his tube amp, while Trichon's pounds out distortion-laden bass lines, and Marano's seemingly effortless rapid-fire drum fills raise the level of urgency so high that at any moment you think that the stage might burst into flames.

New Wave Garage collective SPIJKERS revolves around guitarist Pim Scheelings & lead vocalist Lonneker. Dutch enfants terribles Scheelings and Lonneker, both infamous for their mood swings on & off stage, have been involved in countless fights and rows ever since they decided to team up in 2005. Few musicians can stand to be in their presence for long, in the 6 months of their collaboration they managed to loose two bass players, a drummer and two lead singers already. The current composition of SPIJKERS however, seems to be a consistent one. The band is recording a new album at the moment and are looking for a label since their last deal with a French Indie turned sour. (Rumour has it their contract got terminated after Pim and Lonneker borrowed the mercedes of the companies president and lacked to return the vehicle witch was later found totalled, in the Parisian red light district.)
