Band MembersLane, Danny, Barry, Brian , Adam
Influences Ricksha is a high-energy indie rock band that draws inspiration from the grandiose punk rock scene that characterized Southern California in the early 2000's. But the band turned a deaf to that classic stereotype, while they fashioned musical tales of open-minded anecdotes regarding life in a complicated world. Vocalist Lane Dawson’s perceptive lyrics are brought to existence by the group's heavy guitar assault, which relies on conceptual influences from such bands as Queens of the Stone Age, John Frusciante, Superdrag and …Trail of Dead. It took Ricksha awhile to meld their signature sound. Their 2003 self-titled debut, only suggested the groups true potential. Many critics categorized Ricksha as just another California rock band, but the group's follow-up EP, Alien, turned most disbelievers into true fans. Alien was released to promising reviews in the band's native San Diego in early 2004, helping build a more loyal fan base. Danny Medina (lead guitar) and Barry Ligman (rhythm guitar) formed Ricksha as college roommates in 1998. Initially unnamed, the band began chasing a musical career in the early 2000’s when they teamed up with Lane Dawson (vocals), Brian Grover (bass), and Adam Eidson (drums). Having established an astonishing live show, as well as an increasing eclectic set list, Ricksha next released Diamond Pressure, recorded and produced by Don Coffey Jr. former drummer of Superdrag in 2006, at Independent Recorders in Knoxville, Tennessee. Diamond Pressure is a progressive, guitar-driven journey that has become their most acclaimed album to date and was nominated for Best Hard Rock Album at the San Diego Music Awards in 2007. “It’s as if we’ve been asleep and now we are awake.” says guitarist Barry Ligman, speaking of their creative energy and insatiable ambition to create lasting music. Upon touring regularly, constantly recording and playing locally, Ricksha is unified and poised to break into the national scene. With consistent radio play, featured artists profiles and frequent appearances in national music festivals, Ricksha is on the brink of something musically superb.

   About RICKSHA
North County Times, The Californian-- Ricksha -- "Diamond Pressure" Punk, metal and glam played with in-your-face enthusiasm and a take-it-or-leave-it air of defiance.

Connect Savannah-- This San Diego-based quartet tapped Superdrag's Don Coffey, Jr. to produce their latest LP. They're an intense indie-rock band that's deeply inhaled both the '80s SoCal punk attitude and early '90s grunge-pop (think Nevermind or Urge Overkill's Saturation).

San Diego City Beat-- For the second year in a row, indie-rockers Ricksha have been invited to perform at the Knoxville, Tenn., music festival "Hottfest." The Aug. 26 event is organized by former Superdrag drummer Don Coffey, who produced Ricksha's most recent album, Diamond Pressure. MS/ricksha.

Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,
