ACID KING - https://www.facebook.com/AcidkingSF



San Francisco's stoner rock band Acid King formed in 1993. Singer/guitarist Lori Crover, bassist Peter Lucas and drummer Joey Osbourne started playing local shows that year with likeminded bands such as the Melvins, Hawkwind and the Obsessed. The group released their self-titled debut EP the following year on Sympathy For the Record Industry, which they followed with the 1995 full-length Zoroaster. While touring to support the album, Lucas quit the band and was replaced by Dan Southwick, also a member of Altamont, the side project of Melvins drummer (as well as Lori's husband) Dale Crover. Acid King returned in 1997 with the Down With The Crown EP, which was released on Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin label. The following year Southwick returned to Altamont and Acid King found a new bassist in Brian Hill; the new lineup released Busse Woods in 1999.



BLACK MOTH - https://www.facebook.com/themothpit



Following the release of their 2012 Debut, the Moth have had a storming couple of years. Playing festivals such as Leeds, Reading and Download, as well as two european tours and a massive 15 date UK tour. Also stamping their live authority on support slots with Red Fang, Karma to Burn, Turbowolf and Truckfighers to name a few.



In 2013 they released the AA single of Savage Dancer and Tree of Woe as part of the prestigious Too Pure Singles Club.



Now in 2014 they are preparing to release their second as of yet untitled album. Once again produced by Nick Cave sticks man, Jim Sclavunos and recorded by legendary Leeds engineer Andy Hawkins, its shaping up to be a banger. This will be their first hometown show of the year and the band will be performing some new, never heard before material.
