Maltshop Punk


VICKY & THE VENGENTS
THE FUCKTONS • THE RIZZOS

"Vicky & The Vengents pay homage to doo-wop and classic girl groups from the '50s, all the while adding in a healthy dose of power chords to enliven the aesthetic." -Pop Matters

Born in the Summer of 2008, Vicky & The Vengents are a self-proclaimed "Maltshop Punk" group hailing from sunny Southern California.With two full-lengths and a single under their belt, their latest bundle of tunes can be found under the Burger/Wiener Records banner! On their newest single, entitled "You Used To Be My Baby," Vicky and the gang flex their genre-bending ways on three new tunes resulting in some "Punk Wop" nuggets that really show off the groups'  love for the Ramones, doo wop, and those wonderful '60s girl groups. See ya on the dance floor!

Get Back Up!



THE ROCKSTEADY 7
PANDEMICS

The Rocksteady 7 is an influential American ska and jazz band from NYC. Since the early '90s the group has consisted of tenor saxophonist and band leader David Hillyard (of Slackers fame) as well as percussionist Larry McDonald (Afro Jamaicans, Bob Marley, Taj Mahal, Gil-Scott Heron). In live performances, they are supported by a rotating cast of musicians, including drummer Eddie Ocampo and Dave Wake on keys among others. Given reggae's globally reaching influence, the Rocksteady 7 holds true to the genre's roots and the self-described "Jamaican Jazz" sound combines ska, rocksteady and reggae with extended jazz improvisation, intricate melodies, and complex harmonies. The group incorporates many diverse elements of world music with rocksteady rhythms, including ska, jazz, calypso, as well as early African and American jazz influences.
