The Father Figures with Scorpion vs Tarantula

fatherfiguresfeb25ripsA co-headlining show with the infamous Scorpion vs Tarantula.  The Freaks of Nature will make their debut on this very same night. The Freaks are born out of the still smoldering ashes of The Wrong Ones (and the Killed Kids) and have honed in on their own’ stompin’ version of 60’s garage punk. You gotta see these guys.

Rips Ales and Cocktails, 3045 N 16th St. Phoenix.

Anti-Snob Music Blog Mix CD

Thanks to Will at the Anti-Snob music blog for listing The Father Figures on his best of 2011 mix CD:

23. “K Is Dead” by The Father Figures (Lesson Number One)
So only one local band makes my Best of 2011 mix. The Father Figures are a power trio featuring members of Hillbilly Devilspeak, JFA, and The Voice. Bassist-turned-guitar-extraordinaire Michael Cornelius lays down some heavy Mission Of Bruma inspired chord slashing while the rhythm section of bassist/vocalist Tom Reardon and drummer Bobby Lerma are easily a less-complicated, yet still worthy version of Lally/Canty. If you only have the budget to buy one local band this year then I recommend buy The Father Figures debut CD from CDBABY.
