About Gateway Drugs:
The question that has been keeping us up at night all these years - what if Sonic Youth and The Birthday Party got together and had kids - has finally been answered ... and it's Gateway Drugs. Hailing from the dark streets of sunny Los Angeles Gabe, Noa, and Liv Niles are the real live children of The Knack's Preston Niles. Blues Williams, a sworn in blood brother, rounds out the band.
Liv - lead vocals, guitars, bass, theremin - packs a voice smoky sweet like Chrissie and Patsy but lays down sonic smoking leads like Jay and Johnny.
Noa - lead vocals, guitars, keys - croons like a teen angel then coaxes waves of pure bliss and snarling panthers from his guitar.
Gabe - lead vocals, drums, guitars, bass - pounds his kit like a freight train stampeding down the midnight rails while he howls at the moon.
Blues - vocals, bass, guitars, banjos - holds it all together, riding the dark swells with thundering lines and perfect cheek bones, trying his best to keep all the real girls from going under.
Gateway Drugs shows are a controlled cauldron of total rock and roll inspiration. All members are multi-instrumentalist lead singers, and the vocals and instruments are thrown around like chainsaw jugglers up on the high wire, or kids who have been playing together since ... well, since they were really little kids. Gateway Drugs are a mind-blowing, heart-altering mix of sex, chaos, bad thoughts, young dreams, and perfect pop hits ... take it now.
