About Me


"...a lot of douchebaggy sounding acts go by the moniker "The Racket," we are simply not so. The name is so vague and so many acts tack it on to their name (i.e. Boston's Rockabilly Racket, GWAR which stands for "God What an Awful Racket, so on and so forth) Who knows who originated the shit?!! Fuck whoever says otherwise, as in WE'VE been using this shit for a while now. Also, fuck anyone trying to sue us, as in we release our own shit on the DUB MARTIAN indie Label, so we don't care anyway. We represent Riverside,CA in the BIG I.E. HARDCORE! So if you're into Fine Beers, Fine Kush's, and dancin' your ass off... bring your Mucho Mamon ass to a Racket show!!"- Papa G.
"...currently the guys jam a mega set on Tuesdays at bass player "Papa G." Slaughter's Dub Martian (project) Studio, which is currently recording/remixing all demos. The guys belt out raw, rugged anthemic songs and are really quite the site for a three piece, with Aaron "3-Fingerz" guitar howling aloud, and that down right southern, drunken madness on vox, Raz's 2-step , big-beat fury jack-hammering the rhythmic timing of a clock running on uranium, and Papa G's bass rumbling the scales and bones of every living creature within a mile's radius... one might ask, "what is this new bluesy punky psycho fusion that IS The Racket???" I believe that Bastard Raz said it best when he stated... 'We are beans, rice, and cheese... together we are bound in a burrito of sound!!!' I couldn't have said it better myself."
