Godzilla Was Too Drunk To Destroy Tokyo it’s a name that tells you a short story of alcool-atomic monsters and rock and roll, between Kyuss and Iggy Pop going through Joan Jett to L7!
Heavy Psych Monster fuzz from the Atomic Void! This is our mantra, and the kind of music we play! SDL it’s our frontwoman and evil lord, player of drakkar bass daughter of thunder, Nicola Viola, the man with the baseball hat, octopus drummer, lost son of khali goddess, Camu on guitar (basically drinks beer). If you like heavy riff, hungry racoons, jamaicans samurais, stoner shit, acid rock you’re in!
