Black Sheep Presents: A-100, Bomber, The Ific

We are stoked to host A-100s, Bomber, and The IFIC LIVE at El Rio!

A-100s are a new band steeped in the traditions of ska, reggae, and rocksteady, but the players are far from new! The core of the band is Matt Hensley (accordionist of Flogging Molly) and Sean Wheeler (vocalist of Throw Rag)!

The sound of the A-100s is reverent to the roots of the music, and at the same time authentic to themselves, adding touches of Conjunto accordion. It's sweet & beautiful sounds played with just the right dose of raw & ramshackle to keep things interesting. It's Rude and Lovely!

BOMBER is a new group of veteran LA musicians that have been churning out punk, rock’n’roll and Oi! since the 90’s, including members of Toughskins, The Choice, Bovver Wonderland And The Generators. With the burgeoning punk scene that is currently thriving in Los Angeles, Bomber has had no shortage of gigs to hone their sound which is a refreshing nod to the past. Playing a stripped down style of Oi! music that is influenced by the greats from the 80’s such as The Oppressed, Last Resort, The Business, Etc. This debut is sure to make its mark with all the bootboys, herberts and hooligans alike.

Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area The IFIC has been playing everywhere they can for the past few years and gained a well-deserved reputation as a fierce live act.

Combining elements of power pop, 60's garage, and punk rock they've created a rad fuzz-drenched sound that's uniquely all their own. These guys guy are veterans of bands such as The Outta Sorts, Hot Laundry, The Woggles, The Vendettas, and many other Bay Area garage and punk bands.
