When you see 1,000 bands in four days, it becomes very
obvious that some bands are simply just more entertaining than others.The Ringers, based out of Los Angeles, California,
could be described as way more
entertaining than most bands.
The Ringers are indeed one of those Hollywood
bands that have a front man who is also an actor Joe Hursley, whos resume
includes many mediocre comedy films like Accepted
and Resident Evil, and several TV
commercials.While this may not sound as
exciting as a Jason Schwarztman/Phantom Planet type combination, the lack of notoriety
allowed Joe Hursley and his bandmates to try harder to prove themselves, and
they did.
Walking out on stage dressed in denim vests, candy striped
pants, sailor hats, and red cowboy boots, the Ringers set the perfect tone for
their glammy post-punk rock that sounded a lot like a heavier version of the
Stooges.Playing songs mostly off of
their only studio release, Tokyo Massage
III, the band rocked, scared, and maybe even disturbed the wild and sun
burnt audience at Red 7.
If managed by the correct industry people, these guys should
be no-brainer for potential album sale success.
