Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Scorpion Child

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Mojo

Fans of Black Sabbath, Dio, Mountain, and any number of 70’s heavy fuzz rock bands will find that Austin’s Scorpion Child feels like your comfortable old Converse kicks and equally makes you want to jump around and dance and maybe break shit. These guys are solid as hell, and bring their unashamed retro style right in your face like a fisted glove. They’ve played with the mighty Clutch, among others, and are on tour right now to promote their just-released self titled debut album. Catch them at Slim’s SF on September 23!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week – Pushing the Sun

Posted on September 2, 2013 by Mojo

Pushing the Sun is a heavy melodic rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area, which doesn’t quite describe how they win you over with a style that instantly gets under your skin like you’ve known them forever. Fronted by Andrew Saman and showcasing local guitar hero Billy Connally, these guys are local boys to watch. I’ll be checking them out at the Phoenix in Petaluma on September 27th, catch them around the bay when you can!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: LoNero

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Mojo

The namesake of founder Bill Lonero, LoNero is a groundbreaking Bay Area guitar rock band that originated a style they call Guitarcore, which is their term for melodic instrumental rock that stands on its own without the need for a singer! Bill and his hallmark purple Peavey Wolfgang fronts the band with a ferocious dedication to pure musicianship.

Last year they released their acclaimed second album J.F.L. (or Just Fucking Listen), bringing a new twist to their unique brand of guitar rock with groovy “punkstramental” songs like “Fat Tat.”

LoNero prides themselves on their live shows, and are about to embark on a tour as the backing band for Paul Di’Anno, playing classic Iron Maiden from the first two albums. Think about that for a second – they are standing in for Iron fucking Maiden playing with the original singer! This you have to see, if they come anywhere near you!
