The original live karaoke band, rocking in Portland for 25 years and counting. Come see us every Monday at Dante's!
 

The Ries Brothers (pronounced ”Rees”), a duo from Clearwater, FL, blend rock, blues, funk, and reggae into a soulful-sophisticated sound. Older brother Charlie (26) sings lead vocals while simultaneously playing drums and keyboard bass giving the band its unique and full sound. Younger brother Kevin Jordan (22) completes the band’s “sonic creativity” on guitar, ukule, melodica, theremin and provides background vocals along with co-writes many of their songs. The band started playing the Florida bar circuit as young teenagers where they were discovered by the band CHICAGO and taken out on two Regional tours prompting them to leave school and focus on music full time.

The Brothers inimitable live performances have captured fans across the musical landscape leading to marquee support slots and major festival bookings.  After Supporting a G Love & Special Sauce tour in 2018, G Love asked the brothers to tour as his backing band and open his solo tour.  They repeated that feat again in 2019.”  In between, the brothers completed their own headline tours in addition to supporting major artist like Stick Figure, 311 (invited to perform on the 311 cruise immediately after opening for 311 by their management,) Pepper, Galactic, Stephen Marley, and playing major festivals Sunfest, Cali Roots, Gasparilla, Rootfire and Summer Camp finishing 2019 with a 35-date tour with Iya Terra.

The Ries Brothers have been named as a breakout artist by Creative Loafing, a favorite band by The Tampa Bay Times, and were two out of twenty-five selected from the state of Florida to participate in the exclusive Los Angeles Grammy Museum’s Music Revolution Project.  There is truly something going on here.  Come on down to a live show to see for yourself.

It was the Year of Our Lord 2013, and I was devouring a cheeseburger in a Chatsworth, California, franchise of a certain multinational fast food conglomerate which shall remain nameless. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a crazed looking clown walking in my direction. Wearing a costume of bright yellow and red, and giant shiny shoes, he seemingly fit into the surroundings, but it didn’t take long to see that something wasn’t quite right. His costume was trailed by long, tattered, hippie fringe that was dirty from scraping the floor (and most likely the alley behind the restaurant), and more alarmingly his face was caked in ghostly make up that looked like it had been smeared on with a putty knife. My first thought was that he looked like Skeletor as a member of Uriah Heap. Taking a seat in my booth, he informed me that his name was Ronald Osborne, and he that he was familiar with my oddity rock band Rosemary’s Billygoat. He was a fan of the band, and said he had a concept I might appreciate, something he termed “drive-thru metal.” Some of the delinquent kids who worked for the franchise had been allowing him and a cast of characters named Slayer Mac Cheeze, Grimalice, and the Cat Burglar, to perform secret rock shows in the bunker-like basements of the local restaurants. But the time had come, he said, to bring drive-thru metal up from the “underground,” and he asked if I would consider becoming the manager of his band. I asked him what the act was called, and proclaimed with pride, “MAC SABBATH!” I barely had time to gather up what was left of my faux food before the restaurant’s manager, apparently annoyed both by the disheveled clown and the content of our conversation, came over and forcefully assisted us out onto the street. As we hit the sidewalk, I looked over at Ronald, watched him brush the dust of cold fries, sodium chloride and GMO remnants of my UN happy meal from his grease-smeared clown suit, and couldn’t help but think there was something special, perhaps even great, about the man. He invited me to one of these secret shows, and two nights later I was sitting in the basement of a fast food restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, my eyes and taste buds tingling to a new sensation. Drive-thru metal was real, and talk about a feast for the senses! Black Sabbath’s music, hilarious fast food lyrics, smoldering clown heads with laser eyes, a giant purple gumdrop bass player, and Tony Iommi with a giant cheeseburger head. I was confused, amazed, and dare I say it, can’t ever remember feeling so………happy! I told Ronald that yes, I would love to manage his band. It wasn’t going to be easy—nothing ever is with a disturbed clown and a band of Monsanto mutants who refuse to reveal their identities because they think they came here from a wormhole in space time direct from 1970. But whoever they are and however they got here, they’re here now and they’re ready, so pull up to the window and check your order, because I am proud to present the world’s newest concept in entertainment, the culinary disgrace that is MAC SABBATH!

Night Two acts will feature brutal heavy metal burlesque, aerial, fire, and pole from performers from across the country!

Portland is home to one of the nation’s most active burlesque communities AND metal music scenes.

Since about 2003, these two maniacs have been subverting culture, using a tried and true reverence for the holy spirit of real rock'n'roll, mixed with Grade-A songwriting sensibilities, and a penchant for sexually-charged and challenging live hijinks of the first order. 

Arish ‘King’ Khan: guitar, vocals. His voice is mostly the ‘snottier’ one. His guitar is the ‘lead’ one.

Mark ‘BBQ’ Sultan: drums, guitar, vocals. His voice is mostly the ‘smooth’ one. His guitar is the ‘rhythmic’ one. The drums are played live with his feet.

Together, they are an entity outside of their own control:

The King Khan & BBQ Show

Khan and Sultan have always done things exactly how they choose, mostly to their detriment, but with a sincere, deep-rooted understanding that fecal chickens do indeed roost. Their timeless anthems have stayed alive through the decades (!), and seem to always get picked up again by the next generation, organically. 

The Pandemic, and its collateral mental health damage dealt quite a blow to the boys, as it did many others. The King Khan & BBQ Show was a perennial and stalwart touring favorite. While their catalog is very impressive, it's always been the live show that shone brightest, and allowed them to share their ribald humor and chaotic, surrealist energy to an appreciative and varied cult of underground fanatics. A live show whose ritualistic primitivism opens portals to parallel worlds, to invoke spirits and ghosts using magick, using their raw soul - for good or for bad - to evoke the smells and feelings that confuse and delight.

It took some time, but they have finally decided to continue the healing process by touring the USA this Fall, and to spread whatever joy they can to a broken world, starving for authenticity and fun. 

The King Khan & BBQ Show have been impossibly fortunate over the years, all while remaining fiercely independent. Labels like Goner, In The Red, Fat Possum, Crypt and Norton have proudly minted their records. Tours of the Americas, Middle East, Asia, Australia, Europe were many. One of Lou Reed's favorite bands, and it makes sense. 

This is rock’n’roll. This is punk. This is early r&b. This is psych. This is doo-wop.  This is garage. It’s all this and more, without trying to be anything.

The band has managed to continue releasing top-tier material for almost 20 years, without consciously bowing to big business or succumbing to what’s ‘hip’, without changing much. And why should they? They do what they want, take it or leave it. Love 'em or hate 'em. But never say they can’t write and play a great song – and back it up with one of the best, most magickal, energetic, crass and nonsensical free-form live shows going. And they're always available for a drink with whomever wants to hang till the sun comes up again.

They care so much that they don’t give a fuck."

After more than ten years of operating between the Midwest and the West Coast, Reckless Ones has finally found a home in Los Angeles. For Reckless Ones, the road has always seemed to lead west, but that road has been a long and winding one.

 Reckless Ones has been a 100 percent DIY operation since forming in 2009 in Minneapolis. Founding members Kevin O’Leary, Dylan Patterson and Adam Boatright were not only the ones onstage electrifying audiences around the world with their unique sound, they were the road crew, the drivers, the muscle, the brains, and the heart of the entire operation. This band understands what it means to pay your dues.  Read Less

"Aesthetic Perfection is a 100% independent industrial pop project made up of Los Angeles-born, Austrian-based producer Daniel Graves and New York based drummer Joe Letz. Over a career spanning 20 years, six full-length albums, and numerous singles and music videos, Graves and crew have reinvented dark electro, combining industrial, pop, goth, and everything in between. 

Despite flying under the radar of mainstream audiences for decades, Aesthetic Perfection are no strangers to the music world; the band has clocked countless sold out dates on headlining tours across both Europe and North America. Their success on smaller stages prepared them for their most recent adventure: supporting Till Lindemann (Rammstein) on his debut tour for his Lindemann side project. 

Adding that to their growing list of accolades, such as collaborating with the likes of Richard Z. Kruspe (Rammstein), Jinxx (Black Veil Brides), Celldweller, Nikki Misery (New Year’s Day), Sebastian Svalland (Pain / Lindemann) as well as featuring tracks on Netflix original programming and the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack, Aesthetic Perfection continue to poise themselves as a force to be reckoned with. With their most recent full-length album, Into the Black, under their belt, the band is ready to take the next step and spread the gospel of Industrial Pop to an ever-widening audience—with full rein of their creative output. 

“[Into the Black] is a tour de force, a passionate heart navigating all the coruscating tension of 22nd-century technology.” – Alternative Press 

“Into the Black is the most mature Aesthetic Perfection album to date. Dark and gritty, yet undeniably catchy and melodic, Into the Black builds upon the band’s past while solidly keeping its eyes focused on the future. From the haunting electronic melodies of “Supernatural” to the twangy guitars of “Echoes”, from the punch-to-the-gut beat of “No Boys Allowed” to the soaring highs of “Mourning Doves,” Graves takes the transgressive art form known as industrial pop to the next level.” – Uncivil Revolt

The instability of the music business in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic led to the launch of the “12 Singles in 12 Months” project which will unveil the final installment “Lonesome Ghosts” on December 3rd."

HELL'S BELLES are first and foremost dedicated AC/DC fanatics. This is what we all have in common. We're all part of a huge community of devotees to one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands in the world. This is who we all are, and this is what HELL'S BELLES strives to deliver with mechanical precision and passionate fury.

HELL'S BELLES are indeed ALL female, all the way to their rock-n-roll cores, all the time and without exception. Representing for a whole new generation of women that won't be intimidated, HELL'S BELLES actively encourage our legions of lady fans to stand up and be counted, and collaborate with women musicians and causes as a part of the mission towards rock and roll inclusion. Not some down-your-throat feminism, but a proactive support and action spirit towards the continued march towards balancing of the gender scales.

The thousands of shows HELL'S BELLES have played around the world, including Jordan, Singapore, Japan, Canada, and the good ol' USA (including Alaska), have become legendary nights of epic proportions. Consistently sexy and sold-out shows - there's not a HELL'S BELLES audience that hasn't been blown away by the raw power, attention to AC/DC details, and undeniable appeal that these bad ass belles deliver with undying devotion. From the Angus stripping  “Bad Boy Boogie" to “Dirty Deeds" to "TNT", not to mention AC/DC's landmark hits "Highway to Hell", "Thunderstruck", and "Back in Black". The marathon set lists change to include a fresh variety of classics, but the perfection and passion of the show never dies.

It's an all out rock-n-roll assault that leaves you both satisfied and begging for more. And, more you'll get as HELL'S BELLES keep conquering new cities, new states, and new countries. They'll be in your back yard bringing AC/DC in sound and spirit to you with their recording VOL. II,  so you can always count on taking a little piece of HELL'S BELLES home with ya.

HELL'S BELLES - committed, ferocious, meticulous women rock musicians delivering authentic AC/DC to the unbelievably supportive and wicked awesome fans. All day and all night long, all over the world, pitch perfect AC/ DC delivered with a highly charged vigor.
