The LA based mondo motorcycle band, The Lords of Altamont give me faith in rock n roll. Lead singer, Jake “The Preacher” Cavaliere is a true showman, whether he’s standing on his electronic organ, or owning the microphone, he commands attention. The show this past Friday night at the Good Hurt in Mar Vista CA started with a wall of sound and ended with 5 stylish but sweaty dudes giving it their all.
The Lords just returned from playing 32 shows in 35 days throughout Europe. No luxury tour coaches for these boys, just 5 guys in a rented van with a map and the passion to play. None the worse for wear they managed to make it out a little tougher, a little wiser, completely selling out of every piece of merch they took with em. Turns out they actually are big in Belguim.
But happy to be on American soil again they took to the stage and made us feel like we wanted to ride bitch on their bikes into the sunset. No? That was just me? Oh….ok….awkward.

These guys rock!!!! What a bad ass live show!!!
Great show! I was there and shook my tailfeathers all night long!!! These guys have style, ingenuity and a raw wildness you can’t help but move to. They are truly a progressive talent. They’re my favorite band … and not just because I have it hot and heavy for the guy on the right!! Thanks for giving them the recognition they deserve.
The show was so great, can’t wait for the next one…
The Lords ROCK! What an AWESOME show. I can’t wait to see them again. They have a great sound and deserve all the success in the world!
GREAT GROUP. HOPE YOU PLAY IN TENNESSEE.
The Lords are the Hottest New Talent of LA.They all have a cool vibe about them. I understand John is a tattoo artist at The Tattoo Lounge in Venice. If you want to rock the hottest tatoos, he’s you guy.
These guys ROCK! Best music I’ve heard in a long, long time. Oh, and I heart Johnny!!
Hung!
My wife and me were in one of their shows in Spain (Coruña one), absolutely formidable, we rode 350 miles to see them and we are sure we will do again … nice to know there is an option for garage and bike music maniacs…………. LONG LIFE TO THE LORDS
REGARDS
Love the Lords!! We traveled all the way from the midwest just to see them. Hope to see you tour the US! Midwest especially!
