The New York City-based quintet Blonde Acid Cult consists of Sonny (Guitar/Vox), Michael (Vox), Phil (Drums), Dammo (Bass) and Marcus (Percussion). The group debutated during the summer of 2007 playing a few small and invite-only gigs. As we know the word spreads fast throughout downtown Manhattan when there's a cool new band to be discovered and that's why we'll be able to enjoy their next gig on June 25th at Boweries Ballroom, perhaps Manhattans finest venue hosting live music.
They call their sound "Madhattan", inspired by "Madchester", an alternative rock genre that developed in Manchester (England) towards the end of the 80s. Surely, the influence of groups like Stone Rose, Happy Monday or even 808 State is sizable but there's more going on: funky drum breaks, a lot of punk attitude and classic guitar rock elements but first and foremost it's Manhattan's melting pot culture that carved them.
Enjoy their crazed up video to "Shake It Loose" directed by Lace Drake:
