Introducing The Food Fighters; the incredible pun slinging cowboy parody duo of Dave Roll & Taylor Gherkins, two best friends on a mission to forge their greatest passions, food and music, into one and the same thing.

Having met as young men, there were many things that Dave and Taylor could agree upon, such as if the tiny pot of sauce that comes with a takeout pizza was just for the crust or in fact the whole pizza (it's just for the crust in case you were wondering).  What mankind's true purpose is upon the earth or most importantly how many layers of denim were acceptable within a single outfit. Both, however, found singing and eating most agreeable and a bond was formed that spawned the greatest acoustic Texan parody act ever birthed by the good ole U S of A.

On hearing that it was a cultural mixing pot of culinary delights, The Food Fighters chose the United Kingdom as their home and the launch pad for their musical adventures. Armed to the teeth with deliciously sharp wit, a hearty helping of puns and bite sized pop hits such as "Sweet Dreams (are made of cheese)", "Seven Nation Salami" and "Korma Police" the Food Fighters were ready to take on the world. Prepare to be baffled, prepare to be dazzled, prepare for guffaw; The Food Fighters are here and they're hungry more. COUS COUS HEY!


Stoner Rocket was once your typical Tauranga musician that also happens to be a rocket. Staid, prosaic, pretentious, clichéd with dual thrusters and the ability to warp speed. By day he played his acoustic guitar on Devenport Road busking for loose change while pumping out the top 40, automatons please reach deep into your dusty pockets, hits. By night he jammed on the Strand with his covers band – playing all the Tiki Tane, Exponents, Dave Dobbyn classics one wouldn’t hope for when drowning their sorrows on a dead Saturday night in a dilapidated  ghost town while lamenting their previous nights lack of penile protection that lead to a severe case of itching, weeping, pus filled venereal disease. Whatever free time he had left was spent sitting around his silo, fedora on, waist coat at the ready, writing sprawling 13 minute songs about girls, rocket girls…girls he liked, girls he loved, girls that didn’t love or like him, girls that liked, loved and licked other girls, all sang over one chord, picked intricately while smoking away on a Marlboro light, sipping a skim milk café latte and nibbling on an organic, home cooked gluten free carob brownie….

One week Stoner Rocket had his good friend and former space traveller Apollo 14 come stay at his launch pad. Apollo was a child of the 70s and therefore quite liberated. Stoner Rocket was a child of Tauranga in the 90s and therefore very conservative. He read the bible, loved his mum and read stories to sick kids at the hospital on Thursday evenings. Stoner rocket was unfamiliar with the ways of the fast living American space explorer. So when he came home from men’s choir practice and saw a fresh batch of cookies, a nicely folded, filter-less fat cigarette and a cup of herbal tea he thought that good old Apollo must be trying to do something nice for his host. So he lit up that cigarette, took a bite, had a sip and then started to swim in a sea of serenity. His world turned upside down and then back around again in a kaleidoscope of colours. His mind morphed and mutated into a monster of mentality. His metal body quivered and shook in a state of ecstasy. Sounds were louder, more resonant, magic prevailed. His hands were suddenly huge. His eyes saw nothing yet everything. His mouth curled and whispered strange non-sequiturs to the wind. He was happy, so happy. He laughed and laughed. He was at peace and one with the world. He had to write a song. And he did.

What came out was not the usual generic, wishy, washy pap expected of a Tauranga musician, it was something so much more. It was the unusual. Something original. Something spooky. Something ethereal. Something majestic. Something beautiful. He was now truly a space cade singing with the stars. He is Stoner Rocket….

Stoner Rockets strung out, deep fried brain, rocket fueled ramblings are available now through Savant Garde Records cause he is all prestigious and shit…

Álex del Amo was born the 16th of March in Girona. Since his very childhood he shows a natural interest about electronic music getting to discover
central european bands such as 'Front 242', Nitzer Ebb, Cassandra Complex, framed in what was known as EBM movement (Electronic Body Music).

In the earliest 90´s, Álex del Amo intensely lives Trance & Techno music´s widespread success on the dance floors which finally let those two 
styles reach the mainstream music.

Already from the beginning, House-music shapes as the music style where he finds himself more comfortable with. Always running away from convencionalisms
and commercial clichés but without losing sight of market impositions.

Álex del Amo shapes a versatile and unmistakable style that takes him to launch his first work in 2005 under the prestigious spanish record label 
'Blanco y Negro', (Sensitive Road-Samsung Chill Out).

In 2008 he achieves his first hit with 'The Awakening (May Rec)' reaching the three editions the highest in world tops and charts and receiving 
the best critics in most specialized progressive house forums.

During 2009 Álex del Amo and his friend and colleage 'Les Schmitz' (Best Ibiza resident Dj-Amnesia club) throw 'Scratch'n bite' for 'Fresco Recods´ label', 
it then is remixed by house superstar 'Robbie Rivera'. This theme is also worthy of the greatest praise by the international scene and afterwards reedited
by ToolRoom (New School leaders in nowadays´ Dance scene).

2009 is also the year he throws his first album, edited by his all life´s label, 'May Rec', where he reviews all dance trends & styles showing once more
his expertise in the musical production field.

During the summer of 2009, again with 'Les Schmitz', prestigious record label 'Funktion Recordings (Chicago)' publishes 'We are family', a new review of 
'Sister Sledge´s classical hit' which is now facing its 9th reedition and remixed as well by two superstars as 'Hattiras' y 'DJ PP'. A roaring success.

At the end of 2009 it is published 'Tasty' by 'Stereo Seven Plus', becoming stablished as one of the strongest and interesting proposals within  
world-wide Techno scene, reaching again the highest positions on charts and being remixed by artists of the stature of 'Andrea Bertolini' or 'Spartaque'.

Bomb Shel is a multi-genre female DJ, radio host, audio/video producer and musician from Portland, Oregon. She recently relocated to fabulous Las Vegas. Her EDM radio show, The Spunderground airs every Monday night on 96.7 FM, The Pulse (Las Vegas/New York). 

A corporate radio veteran, she's spent more than two decades in broadcasting, working for Clear Channel and Entercom for a combined 21 years. She's spent 10 years in the film industry, both in front of and behind the camera.

Her production in film and television have earned her credits on KPTV Fox 12 and KRCW in Portland, OR. In 2012, she produced a $250,00 feature length B-movie with Cheezy Flicks Productions titled Stripperland, staring Daniel Baldwin and featuring the legendary Lloyd Kaufman. As a licensed ASCAP producer, her credits include commercial production for clients such as Comcast, AT&T, Goodwill, Spirit Mountain Casino and more. 

Her radio career began as a vinyl DJ and audio producer, literally splicing tape. If you know what a grease pencil is, than you're probably as old as she. Cart machines, anyone? Her posts in broadcasting have since ranged from Music Director to Assistant Program Director. As an on-air talent and Community Service Director for multiple FM frequencies, she's helped raise more than $4 million dollars for charity.

From 2000 to 2003 she co-hosted a syndicated radio show (The RadioMen with Luna Moon) for Clear Channel from her home in the woods of North Idaho. The show was nominated for Radio & Records Morning Show of the Year for three consecutive years. In 2005, as on-air talent and Marketing Director, she helped launch one of the nation's most successful variety hits stations, 97.1 Charlie FM. Beginning in 2010, she served as Marketing Project Manager for Entercom Portland's six stations. In 2012, Bomb left the corporate world to produce her own EDM show, The Spunderground.

Bomb is the only female DJ in Portland to host a long-running club residency. She started Dirty Wednesday's in 2010 at Dirty Nightlife in Portland, and now mixes topless 12 hours a week at The Golden Dragon. In addition to spinning at raves in Portland and Seattle for Blue Sphere, GBE (Ground Breaking Events), One Eleven, CMP and more, she has also produced dozens of events as co-owner of Pulsar Productions. After relinquishing her percentage of ownership in the company, she started PLURSAR (Peace Love Unity Respect Sobriety and Raving), a support group dedicated to the growth of PLUR and a drug-free scene.

An Oklahoma native and life long musician, Bomb moved to Portland because she was accepted into the Portland State University opera program. For almost a decade, she fronted her live band, The Big Package on bass and vocals. The band performed at notable festivals including The Rose Festival, The Bite of Oregon, Portland's Gay Pride Parade and Brewfest, and has been on stage at historic venues such as The Crystal Ballroom and The Roseland. In addition to the bass, Bomb also plays the sax, performing live alongside house and DNB DJ's. She's played the piano for more than 30 years. 

She earned her degree at the American Broadcasting School in OKC in 1990. Afterward, Bomb went on to earn an Associate of Science Degree from North Idaho College, her Bachelors in Business Management from American Intercontinental University in 2008, and will complete her Masters in Marketing in 2014.
