DESTRUCTION UNIT
June 17, 2015 @ 9:00 pm - 2:00 am
$10
Destruction Unit are an American band formed in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona. Dug up from the sonic landfills of the cosmos, these radical desert dwellers have built a reputation for both mesmerizing and terrorizing crowds with their sheer power and intensity. Like running head first into a spinning wall of sound, they have been described by the press as “a band who felt more like a horror movie than a band With guitars that were distorted beyond belief and acted more as auxiliary noise machines than instruments” (Transmission Entertainment) and “Suicide-meets-Chrome-meet s-Hawkwind-meets-Screamers -meets-the-killer-last-sce ne-reveals-in-all-the-alie n-episodes-of-The Twilight Zone” (LA Weekly) or more simply p…ut, “punk rock” (Austin Town Hall). However, Destruction Unit’s brand of feedback worship and heavy psych does not sacrifice songwriting or catchiness; to the contrary, “it’s their subtleties-distant bubbling murmurs of noise, faint guitar noodling-that make for the best hooks.” (Chicago Reader) The lineup features R. Rousseau (Reatards, The Wongs, Tokyo Electron) on Guitar and Vocals, brother Rusty Rousseau (Digital Leather) on bass, N. Nappa (Marshstepper, Nihilism) on Guitar, J. Aurelius (Pigeon Religion, Marshstepper, Avon Ladies) on Guitar and A. Flores (Urban Struggles) on drums.PRC- Dark wave noise punk from the boulevard
