WE ARE ANGIE AND THE CAR WRECKS
Stranded out in the coldest and wettest corner of hell surfaces a band attempting to mingle psychobilly, surf, rockabilly, rock and punk.
We do it, and look damn good at the same time. A little history: Dale and Shawn, both Balls, wanted to put a band together. Dale hadn't played in a band since Anti-Squad, a team of ragamuffins that conquered the underground punk scene of Grays Harbor until people stopped coming to see Dale get naked and strum the bass with his dick (11 years ago and counting). Shawn had been band-dry since Rikki 6 and the Elvis All-Stars in Iceland, a quick but fun blast of talented Navy slops.
After an heroic but doomed attempt to conquer the drums, the boys decided to look for a man that could wrangle the beats with the best of them. Enter Gary "Cross" Rhodes. The guy had been playing drums since he was 8. It all fell together perfectly, with Gary's influence of 50's surf rock, Dale's ability to wrench a bigsby, and Shawn's knack for doing what he's told to. The boys had 5 songs written even before they realized something was missing: someone to hold their hair back when they puked. Enter a female singer, Dale's wife Angie. Angie had never sung in a band before, but she had always wanted to. Taking on the job of writing the lyrics, and then screaming them, Angie completed the 4th corner of the greatest psychopunksurf band to ever come out of the general vicinity of Montesano. All of that said, Gary decided to leave the band to work on his drinking arm and record collection. This brought the band to an apt crossroads: looking for a drummer, they all three still loved to play music, with two of them sounding damn good doing it. They began to tackle older country songs, that didn't need drums to drown out the heavy percussion Shawn's bass was contributing. Currently, they are a three piece, playing older country and rockabilly songs, with just as much enthusiasm and musical talent as bands with double the members. Coming to an inviting bar near you.....
