The band recently took home multiple honors at two year-end Awards shows in the Los Angeles area: “Album Of The Year” at the All Access Magazine Music Awards in November in Hollywood at The Knitting Factory; and “Best Punk Group” plus “Best Independent CD” at the South Bay (Calif.) Music Awards during November in Redondo Beach, where they also performed live.

The Feisty Piranhas also recently performed at the yearly NAMM Show ’08 at the Anaheim Convention Center and were interviewed on the ROCKWIRED Radio Program (ktstfm.com) as well as featured on the November cover of Orange County entertainment publication, WHATS UP. The Feisty Piranhas were also profiled in VENTURA COUNTY STAR and reviewed in an upcoming issue of the MUSIC CONNECTION magazine.

This socially-conscious group consists of Peter Alexander Lust III – rhythm/lead/bass guitars; lead/background vocals; Peter Lust Jr. – drums/percussion; Jens Schnabel – Art and design, clarinet/background vocals; and Will MacGregor – bass; and Michael Gossard – rhythm guitars/background vocals. The band was entered into the 48th, 49th and 50th Grammy’s and was eligible for nomination and were also on the bill for the 30th Anniversary show of seminal punk band, The Misfits, last November at The Ventura Theater. The FP’s were part of the nationwide Vans Warped Tour in 2006.

“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 band’s mix of blues-punk-hard rock guitar, progressive rock drumming, emotional vocals, and razor sharp clarinet harmonies creates a new breed of songs that are catchy but also have true emotion and musical attitude that are supported by Peter Alex’s lyrics," says the LONDON GARCIA SHOW

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.
