HAUNTED BY HEROES PLAY THREE GIGS IN APRIL

Bay Area kid band the Thrashers have changed their name to Haunted by Heroes, and are gearing up for a month of weekend shows up and down the California coast.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The band decided on the name change as a tip-of-the-hat to their musical predecessors. \u201cWe love Hendrix, the Beatles, the Who – and we also listen to AC\/DC, Slipknot and Tool,\u201d explained lead singer\/bassist Nick Hero, adding, \u201cWe think of these bands as our heroes, and people always say we play like we\u2019re haunted\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

2011 has been a busy year for the young rockers, who were recently endorsed by New York-based apparel manufacturer Scarce; played the International Children\u2019s Fund Gala at the Nokia Theater in L.A.; gigged to save KUSF and shared the stage with Gilby Clarke, Ronnie Montrose and others at the 7th annual Guitar Player\u2019s Ball at the Galaxy Theater as part of the NAMM event, where Braingell Radio noted, \u201ctheir music straddled a fine-line of Judas Priest heaviness and Def Leppard pop.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 16th at 5:30 pm, HxH will be playing the South Bay Annual Autism Resource Fair at the Wings Learning Center at Notre Dame de Namur University at 1500 Ralston Ave in Belmont, CA. Admission is $10<\/p>\n
