   About ACIDIC - "Ironic Dreams" on iTunes NOW!

ACIDIC is an amazing young L.A. band playing original alt/rock music, that you really must see live. Battle-of-the-Bands judges have characterized lead singer/guitarist Michael Gossard as a front man "larger than life." Seventeen-year-old Mike has known bassist/vocalist Ted Dubrawski since they were kids at the same elementary school. Ted, who's 19, is an accomplished surfer and is enrolled in the prestigious Musicians Institute where he’s learning be a “luthier” - a craftsman who builds guitars. Nineteen-year-old drummer Matt Whitaker is a cancer survivor, having beaten childhood leukemia when he was seven. He's a sophomore at LMU. Guitarist/vocalist Michael Thompson is 19 and officially the eldest of the group - by about a month. He’s presently a sophomore at Pierce College.

ACIDIC puts on a muscular stage show with catchy, memorable songs, compelling vocals, and power riffs that make you want to floor it if you¹re driving! They quickly moved up to bookings on major Saturday night line-ups at the world-famous Whisky a Go Go, recently cracked open the landmark House of Blues on the Sunset Strip. They are sponsored by Minarik Guitars, Souldier Straps and Stash Picks. They're actively involved in charity work and donate their onstage talents and proceeds from their CD sales to a variety of causes ­ through their own charity effort, "Help Us Help."

They have a new 12-song CD release, "Ironic Dreams," available now through www.acidicband.com. ACIDIC's latest coup is playing the Main Stage at Bamboozle Left at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine! They're sharing the proceeds of their CD sales at that event with the One Love for Chi Foundation: http://www.oneloveforchi.com/ to help defray the costs of medical care for Deftones bass player Chi Cheng, who was seriously injured in a car accident last November.

Lead singer Michael Gossard has appeared in several bands before forming ACIDIC, toured the East Coast, played live concert performances as a guitarist and bass player, appeared in films, TV, music videos, musical theater, and various benefits. He’s a member of SAG and AFTRA. As a member of the Ventura County rock powerhouse Feisty Piranhas, he opened for the Misfits and Blue Oyster Cult.

Bass player Ted Dubrawski performed in many L.A. clubs as a member of the metal band Dissidence. Ted made numerous appearances with Dissidence at The Whisky a Go Go, and boasts playing in every room at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood. He initially had to turn Michael down when invited to join the band, but soon enough, Dissidence disassembled, and he was very eager to join ACIDIC.

Matt Whitaker first seized a pair of drumsticks at the age of four, when a miniature custom drum kit helped keep him in rhythm as he conquered childhood leukemia. He’s been known to drum so ferociously that his hands are raw. For example, he recently sacrificed both hands to the Bamboozle god. Like Michael, Matt also has several acting credits on his resume, and occasionally plays keyboards.

Michael Thompson contributes both lead and rhythm guitar (depending on the song) and background vocals. He was most recently in a Nine Inch Nails cover band, but wanted to branch out to new and original stuff - especially once he’d discovered ACIDIC! He’s been playing guitar for four years, ever since he attended a System of a Down concert and had his mind thoroughly blown about how deeply and powerfully music can connect.

Press Quotes

"Acidic is a young energetic rock trio who delivers high quality performances every time they hit the stage. These talented musicians are a mix of grunge style punk and classic rock. Their stage performance is magnetic and full of musical talent. The band is a joy to work with. The Whisky a Go-Go is proud to have these young rockers be a part of our legendary history." - A. Celina Denkins, Whisky a Go-Go, Booking Agent

"These guys have what it takes; the youthful exuberance of Green Day with Coldplay sensitivity. They have found their voice and have a familiar yet original sound that will resonate with today's audience." - The Insane Darrell Wayne Ex-KROQ Radio Personality KOCP-FM Ventura, and Owner of KTHO-AM So. Lake Tahoe, CA

"That is one hot little band with a BIG potential. I swear Michael already has the cut of a major rock star and relates so well to the crowd. I'll see them again, anytime...please keep me posted." - Damion, pioneering Southern California FM rock jock, Dial Global.net, KLOS-FM, KLSX-FM, KMET-FM, "The Octopus"- Ventura County

"The lads really broke it down properly, with Michael bobbing his head while Ted thumped and Matt tossed off tight drum rolls, all three justifiably gratified by the cheers from the floor that acknowledged a set well-played, new numbers and all. Thus was added another feather to the band's collective cap, a s ACIDIC's members concluded yet another stop on their rocky ascent to the broader acclaim and popularity this energetic young Westside trio merits." - All Access Magazine (December 4, 2008)

"Oh man. love the lyrics. cool tune! ("Lost the Will")" - Rikk Desgres, WXOJ 103.3 FM, Florence, MA

"ACIDIC is the Hottest 3-piece Rock Band to come along since Green Day. 2009 will see Michael and the Band WOW the Music World." - Bill Minarik, Minarik Guitars

"Michael's approach showed why he's more often referred to as a teen Billy Joe Armstrong for a new generation of rockers. He had an attitude without being rude, rough edges without being sloppy, and an earnestness that could only have come from the sincere heart of a young dreamer who has the talent and drive to bring his dreams alive." - Rob Swick, All Access Magazine

"I was at the Whisky in Hollywood today checking out ACIDIC's latest tracks in concert, needless to say every performance I see them in keeps getting better. Mike Gossard is developing a true stage presence, not only does he look comfortable on the mic, the audience is well aware he feels his music." - Edward Mendoza, Video Producer EdwardMendoza.com
