What’s up fellow minnesotans and everyone else. Â
This is Jake Pitts from Los Angeles. Â I used to live in Minnesota a while back and am good friends with Juice. Â Im gonna be posting shit on what’s happening out here in Cali.
I used to play lead guitar in The Perfect Victim, some of you may have heard of us. Â That band kinda fell apart after a long journey working with major producers, management, and record labels. Â The band went on hiatus for a while and decided to continue on as a 4 piece band with a new singer, and new bassist. Â Nothing is happening with them and they are trying to play all the same old music. Â
I on the other hand have been very busy over the last year and have been writing a ton of music and recording and crafting something new.  I kept it in hiding for a long time, but its now out and kicking ass!  I have put together my new band 80 Proof Riot, and have a myspace up, but its bare right now as we have someone doing all the graphics for the page, which should be up soon.  Right now we have 3 songs up.  Just to let you all know, the recordings are all done by me, and the vocals were done by my buddy/singer Jack Sin at his house on a shitty mic, and an mbox 2.  But check it out, it doesn’t really sound too bad!  This band is going to kick ass.  Im playing Lead guitar and write all the music. Jinx who was in Amen is on guitar as well.  We have Chris Mora on drums, you probably know him for his other band Silent Civilian, Jack Sin is singing, he played guitar in Die Trying.  We also have a ripping bass player GK, I just met him last night, so I don’t know a whole lot about him yet, but he’s a cool guy.  Anyway, if any of that sparks anyones interest, check it out.  The music is heavy as fuck, but catchy too, and different.  None of that bullshit wanna be metal.  If you like insain drums, shredding guitars, and mean vocals, check it out!  www.myspace.com/80proofriot  We have a lot of big things happening, so if you like it, spread the word and tell all your friends, family and ex girlfriends to check it out!
