Satan's Cheerleaders

Why aren't Satan's Cheerleaders one of the biggest bands in the world?

Satan's Cheerleaders have been playing the most fucked up psyched out garage fuzz this side of the Mississippi since about 1985!! Led by drummer and vocalist, Jeff Satan (now known as Jane Satan), they have been going at it for more than 20 friggin' years!! The current line-up has original guitar and fuzz extraordinaire Mark Chapman back in the band after a 10+ year absence and bassist/vocalist Scarlet O'Horror... this current line-up has been pretty solid for about 8 years now (which is a first for Satan's Cheerleaders). They've had quite a number of members go through the ranks including Candy Del Mar (The Cramps), Steve Pallow (The Beguiled, Necessary Evils, Haunted George), Gina Brune, the Michael J. Fox lookalike Wade Kramer, and even legendary horror hostess VAMPIRA to name but a few... They are truly a breath of fresh air in this stale and phony so-called "garage" scene in Los Angeles where most of the bands take themselves way too seriously...

I've managed to see many Satan's Cheerleaders shows throughout the years and I gotta say that they are on top of their game at the moment... their live set consists of a strange multimedia psychedelic reaction to biker movies, the occult, and a heavy dose of fuzzy garage punk noise.

If you ever see them playing your town - GO SEE THEM! You'll thank me afterwards...
