"Hardcore Musings"

The musical pandemonium continued the following night at the Jury Room, with L.A.'s Anti Social and Santa Cruz's own Johnny and the Pachecos. Fueled by anti-everything aggression and a steady intake of Pabst, the Pachecos blasted through their set with a type of immeasurable recklessness to which I can only say: holy shit. Led by frontman Johnny Pacheco and bassist/guitarist Johnny Shitbird, this band knows how to blow up a gig. I mean, if punk rock is supposed to be balls to the wall, these guys have Superglued thier genitals to the concrete. - Santa Cruz Metro

Bio

"If punk is supposed to be balls to the wall, then these guys have their Superglued their genitals to the cement..." was the famous (infamous?) words used to describe a live Johnny and The Pachecos gig. After a year of the worst luck a guy could have (thus the album moniker "...To Be Pachecoed"), luck was in the air as the entire band met one night at a local California dive bar. Rob Tedrick has been pounding the beats for years, and has paid his dues with many bands, including the successful Splitting Seconds. Johnny Shitbird cut his teeth with Mishap - a Rock/Ska outfit from San Francisco, and also founded The Eastbay Shitbirds - a street punk band out of the East SF Bay Area. Brandon Hall, a Seattle transplant from The Jolly Postmen, was swooped up by The Eastbay Shitbirds, and Johnny and Budweiser B bring their familiarity to The Pachecos. Which leaves Johnny Pacheco. The singer/songwriter has a unique way of writing which allows all influences that are present to be heard without generating something that is too forced. Punk/hardcore/metal/and straight blues rock n' roll permeate through the big sound that is Johnny and The Pachecos. A U.S. tour is in the works for June/July.
