Lions offer 'unusual brand of mayhem'
Issue date: 10/23/2007 Section:
Hailing from Austin, Texas, rock band Lions will put on a show tonight at Tasty World filled with '70s hard rock riffs.
Playing with local bands Amplified Heat, Mikey Dwyer & the Starter-Kits and Honey, the "Lions are guaranteed to melt your face," said Fritz Gibson, the manager of Tasty World.
The band is comprised of Matt Drenik on lead vocals and guitar, Jake Perlman on drums, Trevor "T-Rev" Sutcliffe on bass, and Austin Kalman on lead guitar and backing vocals.
"The band was born above a dive bar in South Austin, Texas," Drenik said. "We've toured and slept on floors for years. We take those people, places, dirty and beautiful and put them into the songs."
Having just released its debut album "No Generation" on Oct. 9, produced by Fifth Column, the Lions have been touring the country since its formation in 2005.
