| Biography |
The
Erotics are electrifying the world of rock-n-roll with a
fistful of snarl and a full dose of snotty attitude and sneers. Lead
by founding member Mike Trash, The Erotics, Trash (Lead Guitar, Vox),
Billy Belaire (Bass/Backup Vox) and Johnny Riott (Drums/Percussion),
deliver unapologetically raw rock-n-roll with unabashed reality,
infectious hooks, and a sly knack for sarcasm. From the punk rock
beginnings of their debut release Born To Destroy through the
decadent and delinquent bluesy releases 21st Century S.O.B.
and All That Glitters Is Dead, The Erotics with their latest
CD Rock-N-Roll Killing Machine have cultivated a sound
harking back to the days when rock-n-roll was real, dirty, and
unwashed. But with an ear for catchy refrains, sleazy riffs, driving
rhythms, and more low-slung guitar swagger then a surly James Dean,
The Erotics have set themselves apart by not only capturing the
essence of rock-n-roll rebellion, but also by infusing it with a
new, refreshing sound that could very well be what saves it.
Live The Erotics are masters of the stage. Trash captivates the
audience with his engaging vocals and commanding guitar performance
while Billy and Johnny pull in all the corners, refusing to let the
audience passively dismiss the band. Audiences have proved highly
receptive with vocal interactions, crowd participation, and brisk
merchandise sales. Banter revolving around past and upcoming shows
has fueled curiosity and legend, drawing more and more fans with
every performance.
Following the release of Rock-N-Roll Killing Machine, 2005
was a busy year for Trash and his cohorts. With the CD garnering
rave reviews and a buzz stretching around the globe, the band struck
out on its most ambitious touring schedule yet. Embarking on their
first European tour with dates across England and Italy coupled with
a cross country jaunt from New York to Hollywood, the band continued
to build on a growing groundswell of support that looks to push the
band into the next level of notoriety and infamy. The coming year
looks to be as busy as ever with plans to return to the studio as
well as a more extensive European touring schedule to capitalize on
The Erotics growing international fan base.
As one of the best kept (not-so) secrets in rock, The Erotics are
riding the wave of the new rock-n-roll resurgence and are leading
the charge, poised to expose themselves and sleazy, kick-ass
rock-n-roll to the entire world.
