Tipsy and crunk.
The Whiskees are an Indie-pyschedelic-rock band playing and partying in San Diego. Consisting of 4 members. The Whiskees was formed by playing at a friends warehouse, were not serious at first, and then decided as a whole it was time to get down to business.
The boys all tie down their playing roots to the counter culture bands genius sounds of the late 60's and early 70's. While keeping modern aggressive sounds of dance-punk in the back of their heads, as well as the post-punk movement in the early 2000's.
"The freedom to do so much in that genre, saxaphones, keys, looping all over your face...exciting stuff," said Carlos.
"Bee Di Bop" features fearless dance rock vocals, that shout and pant in rivets, reminescent to The Hives front man Pelle Almqvist. An arsenal of twangy guitars suggest twist and turns should be done by audiences. Bass and Drums hook up to create an explosive dance rock anthem.
Controversial song titles allures fans as "Momma Dont Like White Girls" tells a story of what its like to be an American-Mexican with a white girlfriend. Story telling reminiscent to the legendary front man of Sublime, Bradley Nowell. Surrounded with single string plucking, with a surf-punk vibe, its formidable that the British guitar sound be used in San Diego based garage band.
"You don't appreciate it until you leave. I moved up to Temecula a few years ago and it sucked," said Bryan about San Diego.
Currently the group is putting together a press kit, as they continue to play gigs around San Diego.
"We've only played at the Kava Lounge," admitted Bryan. "Which has to be one of San Diego's best kept secrets. It's got an awesome vibe, with really cool folks and it's inexpensive."
The Whiskees are in the planning stages of recording a strong 4 song demo, and have art that will eventually go on as t-shirts.
"Also, maybe some Whiskee socks if you rsvp," joked Pablo.
The Whiskees can be aggresively raw, but still maintain their swagger. As to their sound pertaining, dance punk fiends and hipsters alike will have their earphones trippin' the light fantastic.
