| About Authentic Sellout | Authentic $ellout was formed in late November 2006 by Sulo King and Andy Danger. The original lineup included Marky Unknown on drums and Jeff Spicoli on guitar. A rhythm guitarist Evil Wiery was added later in 2007, but left 4 months later. The band was meant to be a novelty punk band that was put together just for one show. The response from the show was very positive, so the guys decided to keep the band going as a side project and play shows every once in a while. The shows got better and better and in December 2007, seeing that the band was going to go full time, Jeff Spicoli left to focus on his own band, Dante's Boneyard. Then Tony from Sprung Monkey filled in for one show. In January, Dingo joined the band as a full time guitar player, and Authentic $ellout finally became a full time band. In October of 2008, Timmy 2 Times was added on as the bands newest rhythm guitarist. They are currently booking as many shows as they can, are set to hit the studio to record a full length record and shoot a music video. Authentic $ellout is a high energy punk rock band that blends old school 70's UK based punk rock with 80's West Coast. They have been described as a cross between the Sex Pistols and Black Flag. Their music is something every kid and even adults can relate to, with strong messages about the realities of everyday life like songs like "Working Class Stiff". This song highlights the stress of a typical 9-5 job and is an anthem for the working man. "No End" is a song protesting against war, greed, the system, and the corruption of corporations and our nation's government. "Pretty Pretty Girl" is a funny but realistic view of the male ego when it comes to dating women. Their live show is full of raw emotion and high energy. If you haven't had a chance to see them, then definitely check out one of their shows. Authentic $ellout is going to prove to you that punk is definitely not dead. |
