Led by frontman \u003cb\u003ePat Beers\u003c\/b\u003e, the power trio has built a reputation for electrifying live shows that collide the fuzzed-out fury of proto-punk pioneers like The Stooges and MC5 with the sweat, swagger, and showmanship of James Brown and Little Richard. The result is a gritty, psychedelic blend of garage punk, classic rock, soul, and heavy groove.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isselectedend\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the heart of the band are \u003cb\u003eLety Beers\u003c\/b\u003e’ distinctive, R\u0026amp;B-infused drumming and \u003cb\u003eSarah Linton\u003c\/b\u003e’s Sabbath-inspired bass lines, providing the foundation for \u003cb\u003ePat\u003c\/b\u003e’s wild dancing, incendiary guitar work, and gravity-defying one-handed playing.
