Atomic Blender

You can expect Atomic Blender to deliver a high energy performance that is enhanced by professional sound and lighting technicians. Great memories will be sparked by many of the familiar songs from the past.

When the Beatles turned up on the Ed Sullivan show in early 1964, they ushered a whole new world of music into the United States. Overnight it seemed that there were bands springing up on every block in every city and town across the land. Millions of kids were inspired to pick up an instrument and try their hand at making their own musical statements. While most only played a few local parties or school dances some went on to fame and fortune. This "Garage Rock" became part of the sound of the rest of that decade, combined with more hits of the Beatles and the other British bands that followed in their wake and all the new groups looking to be a part of the scene. This is the music that Atomic Blender brings back to life. Music of the sixties, some big hits, and some lesser-known classics that deserved to be big hits, but all of it ROCKS. Atomic Blender brings these nuggets into the 21st century, hot-rodding the originals with a modern-day feel and a punk edge.

These are songs that are familiar to most people whether they were alive to hear them when they were new hits or whether they have heard them over the past half-century as they permeated into the nation's consciousness. Ranging from garage rock three-chord classics to full-blown psychedelia, Atomic Blender covers it all in a unique way.

Atomic Blender is a trio of seasoned musicians, each with decades of musical experience under their belts. Ryan Hawk on guitar, Butch Karn on bass and vocals, and Kevin Oppendike on drums. Together they share a common goal to bring these classic and important songs back to new life and to entertain and have fun in the process. These are songs you've heard before, but not like this.
