The Flamethrowers

About Me

Born on the Fourth of July, 1984, The Flamethrowers crawled spitting and screaming from a smoking cauldron of '77-style, too-many-cheap-beers-in-the-parking-lot punk rock (terribly un-hip at the time), creeping, sleazy glitter boogie and heavy-fisted street rock. An immediate favorite in the post-hardcore Hollywood rock scene, The Flamethrowers have stomped, staggered and manned the rigging of one of LA's most infamous rock and roll pirate ships for more than 20 years. For those of you keeping score, that’s over two decades (or a million years in rock and roll life). The Flamethrowers are proud to be the longest-running unsigned rock show in America.
