Among them: Frontman Zoë Reign is the only living member of the long extinct human subspecies, homo erectus. His cave-tatted and zaftig body was found perfectly preserved within a gigantic slab of dank resin, excavated from a North Hollywood backyard by a pair of teenaged twins, whom, in the throes of a Blue Dream-edible-induced bad trip, had become convinced that the ghost of G.G. Allin would haunt their local sesh spot were they not to unearth a mysterious object from behind their uncle’s ranch house. Bassist Killian LeDuke is both blessed and cursed by his possession of a rare Poon-Slayer’s Statuette, which in appearance is not far off from the Venus of {look up}, but unlike that ancient artifact, is said to faintly emit the chorus of the Stooges’ “T.V. Eye”, a tune which grows louder if the object comes within the presence of a particularly bodacious babe. Accounts conflict on the actual psychophysical effects of the totem– make your own call if you ever come within 5-10 feet of Mr. LeDuke. Guitarist Ryan McGuffin learned how to play his scintillating riffs from a group of hyperintelligent Fender-wielding crustaceans. One day while surfing Leo Carrillo during a super gnarly swell, he was pulled under (after getting way too pitted in a tube of opaque Pacific trash-water.) Rendered unconscious by a critical case of board-to-dome, he would have certainly perished beneath the waves had he not been furnished with scuba gear by the aforementioned rock lobsters. Somewhere along the line, the rumor goes, they taught him how to shred, but the details here are fuzzy, as it remains unclear how these clawed creatures could pluck a guitar string without snapping it, not to mention how an amp could function underwater. Monty, the drummer, is an alien. Plague Vendor B\M\J\L\\\\ -from Whittier, CA -Plague Vendor emerged from a practice space in Whittier, CA in 2009, centered on a predilection for dark tones and instinctual playing. The four people who created it were friends before its birth, connected by their hometown, and found its thematic core with a certain ease. The first songs were written around the moniker itself, which recalled narrative elements from a Mexican folk tale the musicians had read and exemplified the power two words can create when melded together. The first shows were raucous and treacherous, infused with raw vigor and a sense of shock value. It was clear from the outset that Plague Vendor was peddling something formidable. The band was invited to perform around Southern California early on. The musicians opened for Little Dragon and Passion Pit and played Chain Reaction, The Glass House and Fox Theater. They played backyard parties and big clubs and performed at festivals like Epicenter and Rockin’ Roots Fest. They explored their punk rock aesthetic opening for Iggy Pop, Jello Biafra and Social Distortion. At the heart of all the shows was a real energy and spirit, a snarling, frenetic performance led by Brandon’s yelping howl.
