Agua Netz
Leopard-print & Dolphin-freeGenre Hair Metal Band Created 4/25/2009 Fan Base 16 Total Sales 31
Burbank, CA birthed these torn jean and spandex wearing lads in the early 80's. Their first musical memories consist of watching Matt Pinfield's Headbangers Ball from their "Pack-n-Plays". These images of lipstick, big hair and codpieces imprinted on their brains and when they all met up in high school it was merely a matter of time before the 5 would join up and start glamming.
They had been playing to middling crowds on the "Strip" for a couple years when a chance encounter with a touring Zandergriff Miggs earned them their first record deal. Zander saw in them the raw energy of youth and the retro mid 80's style that is quickly coming into vogue again. He jumped to sign them before the 80's revival hit full swing.
Agua Netz sound is pure glam rock hair metal. Chunky chords, flashy drums, shout along chorus's and anthemic love ballads...all mixed in with the appropriate amount of lipstick, big hair and macho braggadio.
Agua Netz are:
Shane Capulet-vocals & mic stand
Tornado Turnpike-lead guitar
Duff Montague-bass guitar
Stevie St. Stevens-rhythm guitar & Yamaha DX7
Woody Hammer-drums, percussion & gong

Hey,
Man, we're gonna be teaming up with our Excess Express partners Pusher for a summer concert spectacle. Be on the look out for the "Leather & Lucre" festival page sometime in the near future.
Tentatively set for Aug 27 & 28. Venue to be determined.
The Express is roaring down the line...
See you all there!

The hottest hair metal tour on the planet just got a bit hotter with the announcement of their plan to throw a Gunshot Love Tribute Show in Minneapolis, MN on December 21, 2009. The tribute show will be a benefit for the children of Timothy Archer, Gunshot's long time bassist who was killed in a car crash back in June of this year. Woody Hammer, drummer for Agua Netz, was driving the car and issued this statement.
Tim was one of my closest friends and not a day doesn't go by that I don't miss him and regret what happened that night. We shared a lot of great times and I feel a responsibility to do right by him and his family. Tim was never married, but he has a lot of kids. You know, many ports in a storm, all of that, but anyway...all the proceeds from the show will go to his kids.

Net Her When Wet
Date Released: 10/10/2009
Tracks: 10 Intended for release before the Netz embarked on the Excess Express w/ Pusher, the "Net Her..." sessions were held up while the boys took some time to decompress after Woody's wreck (by partying their asses off in Cabo). Worth the wait... Here are the Agua Netz as raunchy and debauched as ever, with Woody Hammer sans left arm pounding the vintage Simmons electronic drums given to him by Parliament of Owls drummer Otis san Salvadore. Oil 'r Up & Spray 'r Down...Net 'r When Wet! |

Nasty Habits
Date Released: 6/19/2009
Tracks: 11 The Netz brought a little slice of West Hollywood to the Twin Cities, rockin' the Under the Big Top festival with all the sex and glitter you would expect. Riding the coat tails of that success, the boys hit the studio and cranked out this disc of glammed out excess. Many of these songs were first heard at the festival and featured here are a couple live versions, including the classic "(If You Won't) Holly Would" Tease that hair, squeeze into your spandex & make sure your zippo's full! |

the HEAD BLAST EP
Date Released: 5/7/2009
Tracks: 6 Opening with a sequel song to "Lips, Hips & Attitude" the Head Blast EP thunders out of the gate and never lets up, culminating in a cover of seminal glammers Hanoi Rocks. In between the Netz wear their influences on their sleeves with songs about the glitz, glam and excesses of the one and a half miles of West Hollywood that comprise the Sunset Strip. Party with Troubador Trudy and sleep it off at the Hyatte to start again the next night. |

Just Dropping In
Date Released: 4/25/2009
Tracks: 10 From the introductory track "Bring In The Netz" you feel you've heard these guys somewhere before. And by the time the closing chords of the sweet ballad "Holly Would" die out you are sure of it. They are so true to their roots and influences it's hard to tell the difference. Pure mid 80's hair metal glam from the Sunset Strip done about as well as it can be. Pull on your spandex and get ready for some debauchery as you party hard with Agua Netz debut release! dolphin-free all natural bulge! |
