Bio
The Lords of Altamont takes the raw power of 1960’s punk and brings it into today to crank out rock n’ roll the way it was meant to be played, loud, fast, and out of control. Front man Jake “The Preacher” Cavaliere, commands crowds with his garage-god vocals and a tendency to either leap onto his Farfisa organ or light it on fire. Guitarists, Johnny “Stiggs” DeVilla, and Shawn “Sonic” Medina play impressive axe, while former MC5 bassist Michael Davis and drummer Max “Sicko” Edison form an unholy rhythm section that defies reckoning. The MC5 ( Motor City Five) was an American Hard rock band formed in Lincoln Park Michigan in 1964 and active until Michael Davis or Mike Davis may refer to Michael Davis (bassist Michael Davis (director (born 1961 film director writer Add a few fringe-tossing go-go dancers and a light show reminiscent of science lab blood cell slides memories from an acid trip and you have the genuine, real-deal rock and roll experience that is The Lords of Altamont.
The Lords released their first critically acclaimed record… To Hell With the Lords on Sympathy For The Record Industry, 2004, and followed it up with their eagerly anticipated second full length album, Lords Have Mercy, 2006, Fargo Records in Europe and Australia and Gearhead Records in North and South America. Soundsxp opined: "There’s not a touch of subtlety or originality but for a rabble-rousing 35 minutes, or as the soundtrack to The Wild One, this can’t be beat. "[2] The band has been featured on numerous compilation CDs, most notably with the lead track on MOJO’s Hendrix tribute, snake-charming listeners with a Lords-style version of Can You See Me. They have toured extensively, including a performance as part of the 2006 SXSW festival. South by Southwest ( SXSW) is a set of interactive, Film, and Music festivals and conferences that take place [1]
The band is currently working on their third full-length release and a subsequent world tour in early 2008.
