Looking forward to this one! Haven’t played with GB since ‘89 (Netherlands), haven’t played at The Roxy since the mid 90’s..
Tickets available this Friday 04/17 9AM.
A personal bucket list interview here folks as Excel and in particular their "Split Image" album from 1987 was and still is one of my all-time favorite crossover albums coming out of Venice, CA. We recently made contact with their bassist Shaun Ross, found out that the band is in the process of writing (and now recording) for a new album and the next thing I know in the middle of the afternoon on October 10th I am making a phone call to California to get all the details. Shout out Instagram for kinda helping our two parties connect as well as @yourethenight & @bigred.photo who had some sick recent shots of the band which now includes Greg Cerwonka from Take Offense and Damon De La Paz from Fenix TX... And of course our man @paulturano5 for the graphic work... It takes a village... to check it out or hit the link in our bio..

This guy is a singer who was part of a band that along with 3 other bands created a sound and scene that still stands today! A sub genre of #hardcorePunk created by a common geographic location... please welcome @the_wizard_of_rad_ #DanClements from #ChaoticNoise #Supervillain #AgainST and the all mighty @excel_official #Excel #WelcomeToVenice #Suicidal #suicidalTendencies #Venicehardcore #crossover #SplitImage #TheJokesOnYou #Thrash #Dogtown #Skateboarding #skatePunk #Punk #Hardcore #metal 📷 by @dinadouglasspunkphotography & Unknown
