Local alt-rockers Acidic are the winners of the first-ever auction for a coveted slot on THE BAMBOOZLE LEFT Main Stage during the second day of the festival-- Sunday, April 5th. The group made a massive contribution, totaling over $13,000. All proceeds will be donated to the One Love for Chi foundation to aid in the ongoing medical care of Deftones bass player, Chi Cheng. Chi is currently recovering from injuries he sustained in a car crash last November.
Acidic will get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to share the stage with some of the biggest names in alternative, punk rock and hip-hop today, including Deftones, 50 Cent, Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, The Used, Shwayze, The Vandals, Saosin, Ignite, B.o.B., Emmure, The Bled, The Adolescents, and many, many more!
While they self-depreciatingly call themselves just, “four naughty boys from good Catholic schools,” Acidic looks poised for a major career breakthrough. The quartet—frontman and lead guitarist Michael Gossard, bassist Ted Dubrawski, guitarist Andy Sabatine and drummer Matt Whitaker-- formed in early 2007. They have already performed at prestigious venues such as the world-famous House of Blues—Sunset Strip, and their live show has quickly gained a reputation for its intensity and passion.
Acidic’s sound draws from modern rock like Green Day and Foo Fighters, plus punk icons The Ramones and classic sources such as Led Zeppelin and Van Halen to create a truly unique mix. In the rare instances where they’re not busy recording or touring, the group has its own charitable organization, “Help Us Help,” where the band splits the profits from their CD sales to help their favorite causes. Acidic has also supported the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The Bamboozle Left is the only place to watch over one hundred of the most talked about bands in pop, punk, mainstream, emo and more perform live on one massive bill. In addition to all of the great music that will take over the sprawling Festival Grounds of Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5, The Bamboozle Left will also feature exciting carnival rides. Plus, the world famous vendor village returns, showcasing cutting edge clothing companies, band merch and tons of surprises.
