Los Bastardos is a loud and proud rock band based in Seattle, WA. In 2007, Betty X refugees Doug White (guitar) and Dick Whiskey (drums - also late of Go Like Hell) recruited bassist Spike Hell, guitarist Scotty Brovan, and vocalist Jackie Rome, and hit the local circuit. After that lineup folded later in 2007, Doug and Dick took a bit of a break before beginning to jam again, with intentions of completely revamping the sound of the band.
And "revamping" is an oddly appropriate term. In May 2009, Dead Vampires vocalist Doc Hellvis and bassist (and ex 1234 singer) Rich Evans were recruited to complete the current lineup. The musical chemistry was instant, and 2 weeks after Evans joined the band, they went into the studio with Dead Vampires producer Courtney Rusk and engineer Teebes to record some raw demos.
Though clearly wearing their influences on their sleeves, Los Bastardos manages to put a new spin on the tried and true heavy rock sounds we all know and love.
In August, Los Bastardos played at Evans' annual birthday jam at The Bit Saloon to a packed, stunned audience that included members of many great Seattle based bands. The audience was strictly invite and word of mouth only, but the anticipatory buzz was loud among the shoulder to shoulder crowd. After Los Bastardos' set, that buzz became deafening. The gig offers started rolling in, as everyone was immediately smitten with the low, fuzzy aggression that blasted from the stage.
As to the aforementioned demos, they found their way to KISW, Seattle's dominant rock radio station. Within days of KISW receiving the disc, the track "Out For Blood" made its debut on the Oct 11, 2009 edition of "Loud and Local". Shortly thereafter, Los Bastardos was selected as BJ Shea's Loud and Local Band of the Week, starting Friday Oct 23 and ending Thursday Oct 29.
Los Bastardos is currently in pre-production for their debut full length CD. In the meantime, you can catch Los Bastardos live at The Bit Saloon in Ballard with Indecisive Rythym and Perfume on Saturday Nov 7, and Thanksgiving night at El Corazon with Witchburn.
