The Scabs
have it all: the talent, the skills, the show, the songs, the presentation
and the desire to kick as much ass as is humanly possible and then some.
The band that has always been known for its outstanding live performances
has kicked it up to a new level. But fuck the bullshit! What this band
has that no other original rock-n-roll band has is the GROOVE BABY!
There are other bands out their that groove as hard (some of the more
established bands like the Meters and the Maceo Parker band) but no
one has such strong new material to do it with.
Lead singer, Bob Schneider, has honed his considerable talents as a
frontman into a nonstop tour de force of energy and excitement. Laying
out the foundation of the funk is Bruce Hughes on the bass and David
"Snizz" Robinson on the drums. David Boyle lays down an unquestionably
cool bed of vintage keyboard sound that would make any phonophile grab
themselves by the pussy and shout "Goddamnit!". The addition of the
one two punch of Adam Temple and Charles Rieser on guitars gives this
band enough six-string juice to quench any headbanging rockweenie's
thirst. To top off this motherfucker of a hot fudge cockfest, they've
added the grooveline horns: three tightlipped badboys from the valley
who will literally blow you away; Carlos Sosa on saxophone, Fernie "Maddog"
Castillo on trumpet and Rolo on longhorn.
The Scabs take the listener on a joyride through a musical landscape
where life is fast, love is cheap and everybody's whites are whiter
and colors are brighter. So fuck what you know and fuck what you've
heard because until you've heard this band you're in the land of the
party's over and my girlfriend's fucking my best friend.
Viva la Fiesta, Baby!
