About Des Demonas

Washington, DC’s DES DEMONAS have been hailed as a favorite of Neko Case, Henry Rollins (KCRW FM/Black Flag), Marc Riley (BBC6 Music/The Fall), and Iggy Pop (BBC6 Music/The Stooges) since the release of their debut LP on In The Red Records and their subsequent singles and EP. 

DES DEMONAS’ much anticipated follow-up LP “APOCALYPTIC BOOM! BOOM!” was just released on In The Red Records. 

The group is made up of some familiar names from the DC punk, garage, and indie scenes. A Kenyan punk-poet-politique Jacky “Cougar” Abok (Sex Faces, Foul Swoops, Thee Lolitas) is on vocals & percussion, Chicano/Indigenous-American Mark Cisneros (Hammered Hulls, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds, The Make-Up) is on guitar, Paul Vivari (Benjy Ferree, DJ Soul Call Paul) is on Farfisa organ and bass machine, and Matt Gatwood (Halpine, Two Inch Astronaut) is on drums. 

Des Demonas’ music is a melding of disparate sounds and influences, hitting  with a driving pulse and fiery intent.
