We are pleased to welcome the royalty of loud/noise bands and this spooky weekend! Come get loud as hell with us and rock your face off!

Hammerhead emerged in the early nineties from Fargo, North Dakota, a remote outpost in the northern plains of the United States. In that cold and desolate city, drummer Jeff Mooridian, Jr., bassist Paul Erickson and guitarist Paul Sanders rejected eighties pop music and instead devoured vinyl records and mixtapes that spanned the range of early punk, hard rock, and experimental music. Like an animal that evolved on a remote island, Hammerhead’s sound was unique, combining a relentless rhythmic attack, sub-octave bass lines, and searing guitar riffs enveloped by a shared dystopian worldview that placed them even further off the map than their geographic location.

Jennifer Catties and Manny Catties are Trash Catties, a two-piece garbage pop band that consists of distorted electric violin, electric bass, programmed beats, and vocals.

Scum-pop blasters Vaz are a consistently underrated Minneapolis treasure. Vocalist/guitarist Paul Erickson and spasmodic herky-jerk drummer Jeff Moordian have outlived all your favorite scenes - both emerged from the distressed clobber of AmRep stalwarts Hammerhead and released full-length records on practically every cool label in the '00s (Gold Standard Labs, Load, Narnack) [...] Their ill-tempered blast and squawk updates AmRep's sinister sizzle for more extreme days, still teasing it with the boldest, brashest, shiniest hooks in the nu-pigfuck underground - think Queens Of The Stone Age getting a Pissed Jeans makeunder.
