biographical info
Looking like extras on the Addams Family, or a cartoon hot rod gang, no
one has seen anything quite like the von Drats! Their live shows are a
creepy and kooky display of rowdy surf'n garage tunes, with a sense of
unpredictable humour that makes the experience fun for all.
The
von Drats are not an urban legend or an old world myth. Rumours of a
von Drat estate somewhere in the city of Toronto come up now and then in
casual conversation. Regardless of their digs, it's the live show that
they take great pleasure in delivering to your town. An introduction to
the von Drat family is in order for the uninitiated and a quick preview
of what to expect should you encounter them.
The lightning fast
long arm of the drums, Leonard von Drat, bids you welcome and keeps
everyone in stitches with his rapid fire wit. An uncontrollable
wildman, Dave von Drat sets the mood with the spooky sounding Farfisa
organ and spastic movements that would even leave old Uncle Fester in
shock. The big brother Trevor von Drat quite easily transitions from
being a calm and collected surf guitar gentlemen to a garage rock
growling life of the party. The werewolf cursed DanO von Drat stares
wild eyed and claws some speedy and mind-bending bass blasts for his
savage kin to play over. The youngest brother, Steve von Drat, is a surf
guitar sharp-shooter and a reverb tank riding creature that will leave
you in disbelief.
The von Drats bid you a hearty and haunted welcome. We thank you for visiting and hope to see you at a gig soon!
