About
- Does hellfire, damnation mean anything to you? These guys are a punk/metal tour de force who pioneered this territory long before the Fucking Champs or similar metal-infused indie bands came around. Although they've never officially broken up, it seems like they only resurface for the occasional show. Fargo loves them.
- From Carothers Brothers #5, "The Definitive Guide to Everything Punk Rock in the Moorhead/Fargo Area": Orange 17 - you know, if they didn't have short hair I could mistake these boys for Poison.
Highlights
They opened for Bad Company and Ted Nugent at the Fargodome. Seeing JP set his cymbals on fire is a truly magical Fargo rock experience. Some kid broke his arm or leg or something at a show at the Bowler. When they opened for Zeke, Blind Marky Felchtone was apparently in awe of them. They played a version of "Deck The Halls" at a Rock N' Roll Xmas concert where they simply repeated "Don we now our gay apparel" over and over again. There are probably too many other highlights to list.
