Satan's Flowers is the rock band currently invading Chicago like French people did the Bastille. Their sound is infectious: hook-filled keyboards, woofer-shattering bass, psychedellic guiterrorism and some of the sloppiest drumming ever conceived. The group was formed by three kids addicted to Taco Bell, Spike Jonze videos and 90's era alt-rock. Andrew Clapton was the audiophile and studio wizard with a guitar style that can only be described as "Disembraining." Aaron Jagger was the frontman and sparkplug, providing vocals so catchy they'll drown out even the most persistent voices in your head. Benjamin Garfunkle was the mosh-ready bassist who not only provided the band's lyrics but also several feet of height. Since then, Mic has filled the position as drummer, this crazy middle schooler is amazingly talented for his age, and he is way too cool for the h-a-e-l? Also, Ben Firke moved to Conneticut. Replacing him is Joey on Bass. Together, they vowed to bring the music they loved to the collective consciousness. Music that rocked, music that had balls, and music that didn't take itself too seriously. Whether they'll succeed or not is not the question...it's how much heroin they'll abuse once they start selling out stadiums....You don't need to worship the devil to rock out to these flowers, all you need are the motor skills to make the devil horns with your hands.....
