Multi-Award Winning Rock Band The Feisty Piranhas perform a Benefit Show for soon-to-be new Arts Center at Valley long-time higher education institution, Crespi Carmelite High
Acclaimed Southern California rock group The Feisty Piranhas perform live at a Benefit Concert to raise funds for the new Arts Building at Crespi Carmelite High School, 5031 Alonzo Ave., Encino, Friday, March 7. Doors will open at 6 p.m. Showtime 7:30 p.m. Tickets $5.00 (students), $7.00 (adults). Crespi High is famous for turning out some of the Valley’s most prolific students, athletes, and artistically-talented individuals, including guitarist Slash -- formerly of famed rock band Guns ‘N Roses and now of Velvet Revolver. The Feisty Piranhas also open for legendary rockers, the Blue Oyster Cult, at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills on May 9, 2008.
“By combining straightforward arrangements with instrumental virtuosity, the Piranhas have achieved a sound that is remarkably powerful: simple without being sloppy, big without being ostentatious, “ noted VENTURA COUNTY REPORTER scribe, Matt Singer. “Their sound is dark, moody, Socal punk/pop with unexpected flourishes,” says Host Brian Lush of the ROCKWIRED RADIO SHOW. “After listening to the first song (on their CD), I was hooked,” wrote Matt Zeltzer of THE SPARTAN. “Each song kept the same basic principles that seem to define the Feisty Piranhas: simple yet bold clarinet and sax lines, solid rhythm guitar, electrifying lead guitar, and an amazing amount of layers in the sound (four out of five stars).” “They bring so much energy!,” writes the Ventura County Star. The group’s previous CD, Shocked, received two ALL ACCESS MUSIC AWARDS in 2006 as well as being eligible for three Grammy Nominations in 2005 and 2006.
