By way of the great Jona Denz-Hamilton...
Headlining the Bottom of the Hills’ Erectus Benefit will be pro wrestler turned motivational martial arts guru and rock and roll bandleader Count Dante. Dennis Erectus managed The Count in San Francisco’s punk rock lucha libre extravaganza, Incredibly Strange Wrestling from 1997-2001. Erectus fought side with Dante against double teaming Masked Mexican Wrestling Women, Macho Sasquatcho and a slew of crazed characters.
Also appearing will be the searing speed metal of Stone Vengeance. This trio from Hunter’s Point have been playing it hard and heavy for 27 years and have just been named “The Best Unknown Metal Act” by the SF Weekly. “It's about time that the trio's raw, leather-clad speed metal attack (which screws eardrums in the fine tradition of Venom, Raven, Celtic Frost, Manowar, and Iron Maiden) gets some well-deserved attention,” The SF Weekly states before adding, “the Vengeance shows no signs of slowing down.”
Opening the show will be The Makes Nice, the latest project from F-cking Champs founder Josh Smith. Where Smith explored the sonic soundscapes of harmonized heavy metal guitars with The F-cking Champs, his new band delves into psychedelic pop with plenty of moments of heavy guitars that sounds like a crossbreeding of Blue Cheer and Brian Wilson.
All proceeds from this show will go to the Dennis Erectus benevolent account set up by his friends in radio. For more information, contact Count Dante at [email protected] or (650) 994-6212 or call The Bottom of the Hill info line at 415-621-4455.
