Press Release
Los Angeles, CA— Get ready to get buck! Skateboarding, music, and hi-jinx!

If you happen to be in the path of the hurricane, be sure to join the circus for one or more of these dates and locations (all shows all ages)…
Bands:
No Age
The Goat & The Occasional Others
Altamont Team Riders confirmed: Andrew Reynolds, Bryan Herman, Brian “Slash” Hansen, Garrett Hill, Kenny Hoyle, Sammy Baca, Justin Figueroa and Theotis Beasley.
About No Age: “The music is an invitation and rallying call for individuals to get involved in a community which celebrates art and experimentation,” No Age’s Randy Randall explains. “It’s DIY on a different scale, an attempt to reacquaint people with the notion that art is a crucial part of everyday life. No Age is more than a band to us,” he continues. “It is an umbrella.” And, under this umbrella, Dean and Randy have curated art shows, designed shirts, hats, bandanas, etc., made videos and ‘zines. No Age prefers to perform in unique venues: the LA River Basin, a public library, book stores, an Ethiopian restaurant, all to foster new ways to experience live music outside of traditional bar/club settings.
About The Goat & The Occasional Others: The Goat & the Occasional Others is a Los Angeles-based garage band. Formed in 2007 by two skateboarders with too much time on their hands and too much creative energy to keep bottled up. Andrew Reynolds (guitar) and Shane Heyl (vox) were quickly joined by their good friends Kevin “Spanky” Long (guitar) and Beagle Oneism (drums) to create The Goat’s first record, a vinyl 10″ self-titled EP released in 2008 as a promotional item in very limited quantities by Altamont Apparel Ltd., Reynolds’ Los Angeles-based skateboard clothing company featuring the band logo and cover artwork designed by the notorious graffiti writer NECKFACE. Soon after this first release, The Goat added the Atiba Jefferson on keyboards to complete the line-up. Through this much sought after release and some energetic and intense early live shows, The Goat quickly established a cult following amongst everyone from professional skateboarders like Eric Koston and Guy Mariano, to the porn actress Crystal Clear and the celebrated movie actor Ryan Gosling. Gosling, himself a musician in the band Dead Man’s Bones, introduced the band to the label Wolfheart Records in Los Angeles, for whom The Goat is currently recording their first full length entitled “The Goat Speaks” to be release in Spring 2009. As much fun as these guys have making and playing music, loyal skate fans need not worry, none of these guys have any plans for quitting their “day jobs” anytime soon!
