CAVESTOMP! PRESENTS: THE DRACU-LAS & THE KNIGHT SHADES
The NYC garage punk rock & roll show featuring THE legends of garage and the snot nosed young up starts they inspire!
BLOODSHOT BILL
Award-winning, multi-instrumentalist Bloodshot Bill has been perfecting his brand of raw rhythm & honky tonk punk for over 25 years.
A true stylist - taking early roots influences & spitting them out as he pleases. His unique sound & vocal style are easily recognizable and like none other in his field.
Immensely prolific (over 20 albums & countless singles), this Montreal mad man has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.
Showing no signs of slowing down, Bloodshot Bill continues to expand musical vernacular with each new release and performance.
“like Roy Orbison with a head injury” - director John Waters
“Good, solid rockabilly” - artist R Crumb
“The Octopus” - Soul legend Mighty Hannibal, upon hearing BB's one man band
“Popeye meets Jimmie Rodgers” - artist Joe Coleman
THE DRACU-LAS
The Dracu-Las are a harmony-driven rock n roll outfit with surf, power pop, and garage elements. Their latest 7”, I’m Blue, was released in March 2026 through Outro Records.

THE KNIGHT SHADES
The Knight Shades are a New York-based garage band blending high-energy rhythms with elements of R&B and old-school rock and roll. Their style is dynamic and engaging, featuring fast tempos and spirited live performances. They've been performing at venues across New York and internationally, gaining attention for their raw and vibrant approach to rock music. Having released their digital-only debut single in October 2023, Rogue Records is very proud to release the band’s first vinyl single! "Why (Baby Why!)" is a frantic organ-driven side with a fantastically twisted solo, while flip "Make You Mine" is a spirited R&B stomper with no less than TWO wig-removing solos to contend with!
