If the equation for a promising new rock band includes great musicians (their "fuck corporate" lyrics make you want to quit your day job), extreme energy (they throw up from exhaustion after almost every set), fancy body art, and just rugged bad assness (the lead singer, Gus, pissed in a beer bottle during this interview), then the American Fangs are fit for a sure formula of success.
Comprised of five guys from Houston, Texas- Gabriel Cavazos "Gus" as the lead singer, Kenyon Puttenney on gu… Continue

Being on the road for almost a month, the Afro-punk band's were ready to jam in their final city for the tour, Vancouver, B.C. The bands packed up their gear and crossed the border into Canada, ready to close out the tour with a bang.
Finishing out their last city in the U.S. before heading to Canada, the Afro-punk gang gathered up their belongings and took a quick flight to Seattle, Washington.
It was time for the Afro-punk roadies to leave the west coast after a string of four shows throughout California. Leaving the warm weather, the bands headed north to their next performance city-- Portland, Oregon.
Continuing their trek throughout California, the Afro-punk bands left San Diego and made their way to one of the top cities on the Afro-punk scene, Los Angeles, California.
The weather remained warm for the Afro-punk crew as they traveled from Santa Barbara to San Diego, California-- home town of Afro-punk band, IrRAdio. Tonight's performances would be at The House of Blues, a second show night at this music venue chain while on the tour.
It was only a three hour drive from San Fransisco to the groups next destination-- Santa Barbara, California-- so the bands packed up their gear on a limo bus and headed out to their next show.
It was another great performance night in Boulder, Colorado, but the Afro-punk crew was ready to bring the music tour to the west coast and rock out San Francisco, California.

Tired and drunk after a rocking performance night in New Orleans, the Afro-punk gang packed up their bags and headed to their next destination, The Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado.
It was time for the Afro-punk tour bus to rock another city, so the bands took their journey to the birthplace of jazz-- New Orleans, Louisiana. After enjoying the warm weather that Orlando had to offer, the bands got in their whips and headed to their next city.
The guys were tired of cold weather and decided to steam up the tour and head to Orlando, Florida. Hoping on their buses after their performance at The Loft in Atlanta, GA, headliner Saul Williams, the Krak Attack duo, American Fangs, and Earl Greyhound drove the ten hour journey to their next destination.
The tour bus left Washington, D.C. and made way to Atlanta, Georgia-- hometown for CX Kidtronik and Tchaka Diallo. It's also the city where Saul Williams met CX while they were attending Morehouse College. The guys were excited to play at The Loft, located in the heart of Atlanta, and planned on giving their hometown an unforgettable show.
Combining raw talent with a go-getter attitude, Terry Kennedy worked his way from skating in the streets of Long Beach to pro skater and entrepreneur.
