“Disco punk with a fantastic horn section.” San Francisco Chronicle

“These guys do a picturesque job of blending funk/big-band blues with punk rock and a hint of Motown – seriously, you can almost see the avant-garde movie they must have been scoring when you listen to their tracks.” The Deli Magazine

“This six-piece punk-band-with-a-horn section sounds like a modern-day interpretation of Cab Calloway and early Tom Waits, complete with call-and-response bridges and tales of a seedy urban underbelly and the crimes committed, often by the narrator. Damon and the Heathens mix it up with thrashes of punk rock.” Silicon Valley Metro

   About Damon & the Heathens
Damon & the Heathens are a six-piece punk soul band from Oakland, California. We combine the sounds of New Orleans brass bands with Detroit garage rock, blues, jazz, and funk to create a sound best described as horn-fueled Oakland grit. Known for a raucous live show and a tight sound, the only thing holding us back now is our bar tab.

Baaah! Rocket Propelled Goat reporting to Heathens friends and fans -- two killer shows performed by Damon and The Heathens with Trunk Show in Brno, Czech Republic. (July 23 and 24). Audience begging for more on first night. Venue managers blown away and schedule second gig. First night crowd returns with their friends for an even larger crowd on the second night. All mayhem!
