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.
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.
