The High Energy and Chest Pounding Punk Ruckus of Whiskey & Knives comes to Schmidy’s Tavern, Palm Desert
THIS SATURDAY, September 13th @ 9 PM $5 Cover/Ladies Free
From some lost desert of ol’ Mexico (Palm Springs, California) comes Whiskey & Knives: a band of pure exhilaration from the ever evolving punk scene of Southern California. Whiskey & Knives’ high-energy, driving sound is the product of high temperatures and busted up asphalt. Formed from members of previous influential bands of the original punk/stoner rock scene of the Coachella Valley, these four California natives: Drummer Alfredo Hernandez (Across the River, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Family Butcher, currently in Brave Black Sea), lead guitar, Jon Arnold (Family Butcher), Bassist, Mike Smith (The Traces), and vocalist Jason Baseley, have taken it upon themselves to rekindle the lost and forgotten art of “kickin’ out the jams…Mo Fo”! Their music is a mix of desert rock/punk and a certain je ne sais quoi that makes them challenging to categorize. Whiskey & Knives embodies the true spirit of the desert rock jam songs of high winds, rolling thunder, and blissful intoxication. In other words… YOU GOTTA HEAR THESE GUYS! This band has been giggin’ around So Cal and recording for the last few years and are now ready to take it global with their high energy style of modern punk rock in a way that only desert rockers know how to do. Just shut the fuck-up and play man.
