The Atomiks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atomiks are an indie rock band from Sun Valley, Nevada who perform "high-energy dance numbers that have a “roots of rock” post-modern quasi-rockabilly sensibility with a pre-apocalyptic edge." (THE ATOMIKS CUT AND PASTED RANT press release, 2004). Self-proclaimed adherents to the Church of Rock n' Roll Redemption, the band offers whisky baptisms and sermons on the second coming of the UFO Jesus and the dangers of the shadow government at their hedonistic live shows. Fronted by George Pickard (performing under the name Crash Delano) on lead guitar and vocals, the band currently features Punch Clock (Ben Hoffman) on drums and Slide Kodiak (Luke Hoffman) on stand-up bass. The group has released three albums on the Reno, Nevada label 702 Records.
