Words by Nik Christofferson

Your Village Sucks! Fest Preview:

Warning:Danger!

(Set Time: 11:50PM - Grotto)

Warning:Danger! is: Mark Ostler: Vocals, Brooker Bauer: Guitar, James Gardner: Bass, Mike Correa: Drums

What’s the deal with these crazy guys in the orange reflective vests and hardhats you ask? Well, let me just enlightened to the creative world of Warning:Danger!, the greatest safety-themed punk rock band ever to step on a stage. Actually, they are probably the one and only safety-theme punk rock act ever to exist, which really makes them all the more a must see this Saturday.

What started as an idea for a short film a few years ago soon morphed into one of the most entertaining and truly original band ideas of all time, the shtick to end all shticks if you will. With songs about everything from the horror of killer bees and sharks to crazy ex-girl friends and STD’s, their sermon-like cautionary tales are delivered by frontman Mark Ostler over top speedy hardcore punk riffs and meaty rhythms. Warning:Danger! have proved time and time again to be much more than costumes and construction tape, as they consistently blister eardrums while simultaneously sneaking smiles on unsuspecting faces.

Having released an excellent self-titled full-length, played numerous shows as part of top-notch billings, and just recently wrapped shooting their first music video, Warning:Danger! come to Your Village Sucks! Fest primed to add to their already strong legion of fans. Just four more words to add: Watch out for Godzilla!

0 [KILLER SHOW ALERT] Your Village Sucks! Fest Official Announcement

In conjunction with Algerbay Records and the Rocket Queen, Seattle Rock Guy is proud to present:

Your Village Sucks! Fest
10 Bands / 2 Stages
May 8th @ Rendezvous
$10 Presale/$12 Doors
9pm / 21+

Your Village Sucks! Fest is the brainchild of Algerbay Records founder and The Keeper frontman Andrew Chapman. With help from Seattle Weekly scribe and KEXP DJ Hannah Levin, as well as Seattle Rock Guy, this killer festival features 10 amazing NW bands on two stages for one night only.

The lineup is a stellar one; carefully crafted by all three sponsors with a firm finger on the pulse of Seattle's current metal and punk landscape. Though the lineup was assembled by three self-proclaimed metal heads, Your Village Sucks! Fest really has a little something for everyone, including a couple left field additions from our closest Canadian neighbors. Whether it be the metallic sludge riffs of Mico De Noche, the brazen disco rock of Vancouver B.C.’s Sex With Strangers or the amusing shtick of punk rockers Warning:Danger!, expect a beyond kick ass evening of debauchery and killer live music.

Your Village Sucks! Fest Official Lineup (in no particular order):

Vultures2012

Throne of Bone

Sex with Strangers

Mobile Slaughter Unit

Warning:Danger!

Mico De Noche

Madraso

Guilty About Girls

This event is not only a showcase of some of Seattle’s premier underground talent but is also a celebration and release party for Algerbay Records’ second FREE local music compilation entitled “Your Village Sucks! Too”. Back in 2009, Algerbay Records released the first compilation, which proved to be an excellent cross-sectional look at some NW bands that may or may not have slipped by your radar including The Keeper, Android Hero and Your Village Sucks! Fest participant The Cold Cold Ground to name a few. I also won’t hesitate to point out that SRG’s 1st birthday is quickly approaching, and the fest might be the unofficial birthday bash for us as well.

Advanced tickets are available now for $10 at Brown Paper Tickets and day of show for $12:

So stay tuned for more on all the bands, as well as updates as they come. Feel free to RSVP on Facebook, and drop us a line there as well.

If you appreciate Seattle’s vibrate music scene and are a supporter of all things metal, punk rock, DIY, and underground, Your Village Sucks! Fest is a no brainer, so mark your calendars because this night is going to rule all, don't miss it!
