ATOMIKS
cut and pasted rant:
Repeatedly voted Reno’s Best Dance Band, this is one group whose
sound is exceedingly difficult to describe. Throaty as the roar of a
big V-8, soft as the ride of Coup de Ville, The Atomiks put the pedal
to the metal with high-energy dance numbers that have a “roots
of rock” post-modern quasi-rockabilly sensibility with a pre-apocalyptic
edge. The driving drums of Punch Clock, the slick and stylish stand-up
bass of Slide Kodiak, and the brilliantly quirky song writing, lead
guitar and vocals of Crash Delano, takes the audience on a white knuckle
road trip from the sleazy bars of Tijuana to romantic Catalina Island
to swingin’ at Reno’s own Peyton Place. Adherents of the Church
of Rock ‘n’ Roll Redemption, The Atomiks offer whiskey baptisms
and protection from the aliens from Planet 9, while awaiting the Second
Coming of the UFO Jesus. Putting the Cult in Culture since 1972, an
Atomiks show is not to be missed.
The
Atomiks Preach tirelessly to the faithful time and time again against
the evils of an incomprehensible military-industrial complex, while
extolling salvation through baptism by bourbon. What happens when in
that lab of endless fury that is pop music, you blend unadulterated
rock 'n' roll, debauchery, food stamps, and Christ almighty? Furthermore,
what happens when this was all a model conception of the shadow government
cooked in level 7? What happens when the monster turns on creator? All
operators standing by are exposed, the drones fondle subjects, the pollster
takes the hint!?
But
there’s a softer side of Sears. There are only three chapters in
this book: 7,11, and 13. The great American dream that was once success
and is now plastic sex, stands on the edge of oblivion. It is up to
the Atomiks and the 9s to bring it back, or push it over the jagged
shards. Will the evil Evols triumph in breaking the will of the feeblenaughts?
Get detuned and climb out now while you have the shot.
One
of these days, a fine rocket will be constructed. This vessel will serve
to lift the Atomiks and the 9s to greener pasteurization. The time to
load your pockets with gold is now. However, effort is underway to cause
hindrance to this great prophecy Atomiks. Spare parts are hard to come
by, when so many are using the very material that holds the potential
to free them, as shields to defend themselves.
Make
your shield into wings, donate to the cause—bring your undersoul
(e.g.o.) to the next meeting. Let the Atomiks transform your burden
into your freedom. Freedom is the complete lack of concern for oneself.
Dispel yourself. You are not separate from the rocket that is to be.
Become a 9. Attend meetings often!

THE ATOMIKS
"Motordeath" CD
|
Their 3rd, best, and most righteously ambitious album. Follows the self-released PONTIAC and ‘99's ultra fun SUPER HONKY (702). Lead singer / songwriter George Pickard, a notorious (& published) conspiracy theorist, has ventured farther than usual from The band’s original rockabilly roots for this record, exploring new territory that would probably best be described as “paranormal rock n’ roll.” Produced by Vince Gates (Crushstory) Available on CD only.

THE ATOMIKS
Destruct-o-billy Pile-up 7-inch
|
The first Reno band on 702! The Atomiks play soulful rockabilly with kind of a rockin' cowpunk feel. A guitar, a standup bass and a minimal drum set and these guys are good to go. The singer George has been known to strip down to his BVDs and bless the crowd with a spray of vodka. This record has their rawest, rockinest stuff they've recorded yet. Get it! And get Superhonky!
