Featuring: Se7en4/ Remnants of Man/Thr3 Strykes/Perishment
By Noe Gutierrez
This Saturday is Phil Lacombe’s annual birthday blowout. Se7en4 returns from an extended intermission for the occasion and three other local music artists will insure that Phil gets his fill of rock. In honor of Phil and the legacy of supporting local music that he is creating, we “check-in” with the first three acts set to mutilate the stage at Plan B Entertainment and Cocktails on 7/6/13.
Remnants of Man
Remnants of Man collectively declare their gratitude towards Phil and his unwavering dedication to all music. “We feel very privileged and honored to have been asked to play for Philip Lacombe’s birthday event. Phil and Tracy have made an impacting image on the desert’s media/lifestyle scene within their Coachella Valley Weekly publication and we couldn’t be happier, as residents of the Coachella Valley, to see it happen. And it’s only the beginning!”
Specifically, those of us who are blessed to know Phil and the passion he has for metal music are not surprised by local metal acts and their unequivocal devotion to Phil. “Phil is a true music lover and inspiration to fans of the metal genre. He always stood by his favorite desert bands and helped them get the exposure he felt they deserved. Phil is an all-around awesome dude,” Remnants members acknowledge as a whole.
Remnants of Man continue to blaze a “metal as fuck” attitude in and around the southland. They have a new EP on the way and will be performing some of their new material at Phil’s party. They will be also be delivering the goods at The Remnants of Decomposition Music Festival (no relation) in Lake Elsinore earlier in the day prior to Phil’s party. Later in the year, they will be displaying the carnage at the all-ages event Carn-Evil II in Canoga Park on October 26th.
Remnants of Man are:
Joe Lynn – vocals
Rudy Mendez – guitar
Ruben Torres – guitar
Daniel Wheat – bass
Alex Milward – drums.
Thr3 Strykes
Thr3 Strykes make it clear cut that they are rock and roll musicians, not just rappers. They describe an eventful 2013 thus far. They have permeated venues with Bone Thugs and Harmony, Capitol Eye, Mickey Avalon, and two headlining shows. They have also received a lot of notoriety for their submission to the Goldenvoice produced Tachevah competition.
As one member puts it, “We enjoy blowing headliners off stage, and that’s just by being ourselves. Getting people moving in ways they normally wouldn’t.”
Their nicknames and aliases they’ve concocted throughout the years are inside jokes and song personas. Peter Dolomite was playing guitar and drums by his pre-teens. He’s played drums and sang for Anodyne and The Socialites. Protek plays guitar and bass with punk rock roots originating from the band ‘Los Popos’ in the late 90’s. J. Rawstring’s father was a drummer in the 80’s whose band toured with Mötley Crüe and Van Halen. He specializes in constructs and has a great ear for developing beats and instrumentals.
They are currently working on their second full-length album to be released this fall. Their first album, Backdoor Service, is located for streaming and download FREE at: www.delifestyle.bandcamp.com
Thr3 Strykes are:
Josh Fimbres – Peter Dolomite
Josh Hall – J. Rawsting
Jesse Brown – Protek
Perishment
Perishment will be blistering through every song from their new official third release at Saturday’s show. The new EP is one of three that will explore their roots and deep influences. Released this summer, the music will delve into their more ambient, darker and heavier perspectives. Perishment is one of the Coachella Valley’s longest running bands having played local shows since 2006. They continue to progress musically while developing a more mature sound. As they put it, “Perishment’s heart lies with Heavy Metal, but the band’s soul is pure Rock N Roll!”
Perishment are:
Ruben Gutierrez: Vocals, lyricist and cowbell
Bobby D. Taffolla: Guitars, backing vocals, visual artist and manager
Aaron C. Ramson: Bass guitar, vocals and smut peddling
Tommy Winters: Drums, lap dances
Plan B Live Entertainment and Cocktails
Plan B Live Entertainment and Cocktails opened in 2011 and has provided an avenue for every type of music the valley has conjured up. Owner and operator Jeannette Krehbiel has been welcoming and gracious to all local musicians willing to participate in securing Plan B as a prime live music venue. Located in Thousand Palms just north of the Monterey I-10 exit, Plan B has a full bar, shuffle board, pool tables, Friday night karaoke and live music on Saturday nights. Remember, everybody needs a Plan B!
