Hotly tipped San Francisco-based flamenco/metal hybrid band
FLAMETAL will be making their Southern California live debut this Saturday, December 17 at Bar Sinister, 1652 N. Cherokee Ave., Hollywood, CA 90028. For more info call: 323-769-7070.
FLAMETAL who combine the flamenco shred of
Paco DeLucia with hard-edged Bay Area metal, are the brainchild of virtuoso acoustic guitarist/vocalist
Benjamin Woods and consist of Hawaiian native
Brian Spalding (ex-
AARONSROD) on electric guitar, bassists
Uriah Duffy (
WHITESNAKE) and
Angeline Saris, and drummer
Thomas Perry. The group's unortodox stage show also features traditional flamenco dancers,
Melissa Cruz and
Fanny Ara.
FLAMETAL's self-released 2005 debut CD,
"The Elder", is available through the band's
CD Baby store at
this location. MP3s of the title track and
"Cuatro Caballeros" can be downloaded
