Toys That Kill, Shellshag, Benny & the Jet Rodriguez, Nato Cole & the Blue Diamond Band, Hatrabbits

Toys That Kill formed in San Pedro, CA from a previous incarnation known as F.Y.P (1989-1999). Just after the release of their last album entitled, strangely enough, Toys That Kill, Todd C., SEAN C. and some new guys (Chachi and Jimmy) started the new band. Although the music varies greatly from F.Y.P to Toys That Kill both bands have been influential in the DIY punk scene since the late 80's.


There's only two people in Shellshag. Shell and Shag. Shell plays guitar and sings while Shag plays drums standing up and also sings. She has bells sewn on her belt and ankles, so there's lots of frantic wiggling to coax the noise out of them. They both sing into a mic stand they built themselves that's shaped like a Y, so they face each other while they play. They're known for putting on shows that bring the house down, sometimes literally. You can always expect some crowd surfing, things being thrown across the room, and the singing along that sometimes threatens to drown them out. The end of their show usually results in the two of them either building a sculpture out of their instruments, amps, and themselves, or completely smashing Shag's drums. -Johnny No Pants Maximum Rock and Roll
