MMM Presents: THE MENTORS (USA), DAMNED PILOTS (BE/IT) & THE FILTHY EWOKS (NL) A night to remember........ TICKETSALE: https://shop.ikbenaanwezig.nl/tickets/event/the-mentors-usa-damned-pilots-bi THE MENTORS (USA): The Mentors are an American heavy metal band, who formed in 1976 in Seattle, then moved to Los Angeles in 1979. They billed themselves as “RAPE rock,” playing essentially early 1970s style heavy metal with extremely sexist lyrics. They were a popular live act in Los Angeles in the 1980s, but the chronic, acute alcoholism & 1997 death of singer/drummer Eldon Hoke (better known as El Duce) caused them to slow down in the 1990s and eventually cease activity. After a long hiatus, activity has started up again, and the band has put out new material with a renewed lineup. The Mentors were known outside of West Coast heavy metal and underground rock circles chiefly for their lyrics being cited by Tipper Gore during the Parents Music Resource Center hearings in Congress, and then being used by Frank Zappa on his “Mothers of Prevention” album. El Duce later appeared in Nick Broomfield’s documentary about the death of Kurt Cobain, “Kurt and Courtney”. The band also showed up in one of Jerry Springer's shows! The Mentors were notorious for their songs that celebrated depraved sex acts and drug use. While their obscene lyrics ensured that their music would never be played on commercial radio, they gained a cult following due their raunchy, over-the-top live performances in Los Angeles nightclubs such as the Cathey de Grande, Gazzari’s and the Whiskey-A-Go-Go. Check these guys out!! DAMNED PILOTS (BE/IT): The Damned Pilots relate to a steam punk and post-nuclear cartoon-like scenario. Their sound ranges from classic rock to stoner and doom-metal. Formed in 2013, the Damned Pilots recorded their debut EP “Spaced Out” (Radioactive Records). The band has already collected three European Tours: the SPACED OUT TOUR 2013, the BEATIN’ THE ODDS TOUR 2013 and the RIDE THE SKY TOUR 2014. During these tours, the Damned Pilots performed in Lithuania, Slovenia, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Austria. The Damned Pilots have played with bands such as Candlemass and Lizzy Borden, and their music featured on the compilations “OBSCURE ANTHEMS” (RADIOACTIVE RECORDS – aa.vv.) and “TRIESTE ROCK CITY” (KORNA AL CIELO RECORDS – aa.vv). In the summer of 2014, the band entered the studio to record their first full length, “OVERGALAXY”, produced by Ron Goudie (Stryper, Poison, Social Distortion, Death Angel, GWAR, 45 Serious, TSOL) and mixed and mastered by the legendary producer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, WASP, Corrosion Of Conformity, Trouble, DRI, Lizzy Borden).
