The Onyas

With their debut EP Beergut in 1994, the Onyas' showcased their drunken set of raw rock 'n' roll on top of an added noise of heavy guitars and belligerent attitude. In support of their first single, the band embarked on a messy tour of Europe in 1995 that resulted in a number of empty gigs as well as three different drummers -two of which who couldn't speak English. Upon their the return, the settled line up of John (vocals/ guitar), Richard (bass/ vocals) and Jaws (drums) released their first full length Get Shitfaced With The Onyas in 1997 on Au-Go-Go Records. Their follow-up album Six came out a year later on the same label. ~ Mike DaRonco
