The Von Drats

[redneck]

Внятной биографии у группы нет. Судя по всему, собрались в 2005 году, в Торонто, Канада. В 2008 году записали дебютную 7" "Von Drats". Отыграв большое количество разнообразных шоу, в 2010 году парни обзавелись новым релизом, первым дня них полноформатником - "Dratsylvania".
Играют The Von Drats серф, с атмосферой дешевых фильмов ужасов и легким налетом гаражного рока, сайкобилли и рокабилли.

История группы с last.fm

Looking like extras on the Addams Family, or a cartoon hot rod gang, no one has seen anything quite like the von Drats! Their live shows are a creepy and kooky display of rowdy surf’n garage, with a sense of unpredictable humour that makes the experience fun for all.

The von Drats are not an urban legend or an old world myth. Rumours of a von Drat estate somewhere in the city of Toronto come up now and then in casual conversation. Regardless of the digs they hang their hats, it’s the live show that they take great pleasure in delivering to your town. An introduction to the von Drat family is in order for the uninitiated and a quick preview of what to expect should you encounter them.

The lightning fast long arm of the drums, Leonard von Drat, bids you welcome and keeps everyone in stitches with his rapid fire wit. An uncontrollable wildman, Dave von Drat sets the mood with the spooky sounding Farfisa organ and spastic movements that would even leave old Uncle Fester in shock. The big brother Trevor von Drat quite easily transitions from being a calm and collected surf guitar gentlemen to a garage rock growling life of the party. The werewolf cursed DanO von Drat stares wild eyed and lays down a solid and smooth bass foundation for his savage kin to play over. The youngest brother, Steve von Drat, is a surf guitar sharp-shooter and a reverb tank riding creature that will leave you in disbelief. The pretty lady onstage is their sister Holly von Drat, and she dances so fast that she can bend light and keeps the energy flowing with her wild go-go shaking.

Bats and haunted houses aside, the von Drats are one of the hardest working bands around. They have played some very special shows, including the 2008 MIAC show as a request by Sparrow Guitars, benefits for the Toronto Roller Derby League, CKLN FM and Toronto Sick Kids, the Toronto Burlesque Festival, the Annual VEN Ball(Vampire Entertainment Network), Mysterions TV pilot episode, the 2008 Toronto Zombie Walk, the Wavelength series (show 438), the Dave and Chuck Show, and of course the Annual Great Lakes Surf Battle. They have shared the stage with many notable acts from across North America and beyond. The von Drats will put on a fifty dollar show each and every time, regardless of the cover charge. In 2009, Sparrow Guitars introduced the “von Drat Continental”, a souped up surf guitar that was debuted at the 2009 NAMM show.

The von Drats bid you a hearty and haunted welcome. We thank you for visiting and hope to see you at a gig soon!

Серф из ада, то, что некоторые называют "spooky surf". Любителям музыки в духе The Ghastly Ones посвящается.
