DAS LLAMAS release Class Wars: K-12
THIS FRIDAY at the Comet!!
w/ In the Empty City, The Mission Orange and Keith Ledger

Thomas Burke’s spastic percussion erupts against conspiring steadfast bass lines that create a grimy upbeat electro rock that drunkenly flirts with no-wave punk. Well studied in the use of multitasking, they do all the work of a five piece with a dynamic demeanor of six.
