I am really good at pickin' that guitar, and sangin' my kooky songs, but not so good at writing boring, lame bios about my music. From the ashes of The Kehoe Nation: Over the last few years I recorded and self-released 2 LPs "Music for Livers" and "Devil's Acre Overture" under this moniker. These recordings were co-produced by, recording legend Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, The Ramones, Primus). I never really liked the name of the band; it was kind of a joke, So... I changed it! Kehoe Int'l sounds more... authentic. Like it could be traded on the NYSE. I spent a good amount of time playing in the esoteric SF independent band M.I.R.V. We toured all over the world and even got on the MTV, when they actually played music. I toured with Jerry Cantrell Band (Alice in Chains) for a couple of years. I also have been in and out of my friend Les Claypool's band The Frog Brigade. Les and I and few other friends did a movie and album "National Lampoon's Electric Apricot", and the last couple of years we toured all over in Les Claypool's Duo de Twang. The "Duo" recorded an LP called "4 Foot Shack" that got high reviews on NPR that my Mom heard on the radio, and all of of sudden... I am legit in her eyes! Ha! Only took decades... The sound and style of Kehoe Int'l can be explained as a unique pastiche of elements; the bombast of guitar hero Rock, the rebellion and aggressiveness of Punk and Metal, the whimsy of Oompah and Polka, with just a pinch of Avant Garde, all honoring the Roots of Americana music. I call it Garage-Twang!<h2>MODERN MONSTERS</h2>—Modern Monsters is a Bay Area, California heavy rock band established in 2019. They elude a mix of greasy heavy, down-and-dirty rock with raw energy.Straying away from being buried in day-to-day mainstream music, the monsters thrive in the rock culture and maintain the power of being face melters. With drive and tenacity, this renowned and talented group enjoys the challenge of being a modern day rock band.Drummer Keenan Tuohy's thunderous performance, paired with massive temper from Brody Bass and fierce riffs by guitarists Wyatt Lennon and Rich Wells collectively and sonically match with the tortured lyrics of vocalist Josh Weaver. <h2>ALVIE &amp; THE BREAKFAST PIGS</h2>— Alvie &amp; the Breakfast Pigs are loud, raw, and unapologetically real. They’re here for those who wake up with last night’s eyeliner still on, who find poetry in the chaos, and who turn the volume up instead of toning it down.For anyone craving driving riffs, punchy lyrics, and the kind of energy that makes you wanna kick over a trash can, this is the right place. Blending alt and punk with a no-BS attitude, they deliver just the right mix of grit and melody to keep hearts pounding.Crank it up, sing along, and join the madness. For those who love bands that don’t hold back, Alvie &amp; the Breakfast Pigs have something to offer. They don’t chase trends, they carry the torch!
