Donation protected
In a time honored tradition of iconic bands before us, the Lords of Altamont thought it to be a pertinent time in history to bring ALL fans together to be included upon the making of the next album.
Revolutions on all levels are needed. Societal changes MUST occur. WE need to come together and squash the norms of big box record companies and support the independent labels. It's time for an upheaval of the norm and to the support the freedom of creative individuals.

With your donation - no matter how big or small - you can help smash the system that chokes music artists into submission. Let the Lords be Lords, wild and free again to create the next original album you have been waiting for.
The Lords of Altamont have created a multi-tiered rewards program so you can also score some righteous and RARE gear.  Up for grabs ? Limited edition patches and posters, as well as a chance to score two original Lords cuts as worn by The Preacher himself.

The Story of The Lords of Altamont

The Lords of Altamont bring forth raw rock and roll fury birthed from the ultimate end to the era of peace and love. What was billed to be the “Woodstock of the West “, the infamous Altamont Free concert on December 6th, 1969 was highlighted instead by heavy drugs , motorcycle chains and brass knuckles and later punctuated  with shoving matches and fist fights. This palpable sense of bawdy foreboding resulted in four births, four deaths and extensive property damage.

While the hippies had been grooving and mellowing out in the Bay Area, the forefathers of the Lords of Altamont were playing high energy rhythms in the beer soaked venues of Detroit and the dingy clubs along LA’s Sunset Strip.  Mid-60s London RnB shares equal space with the scruffy 70s NYC Bowery among the influences of The Lords also.  They take their other cues from kids banging out primitive riffs on cheap guitars all across the USA in garages alongside chopped bikes and American v-8 muscle, lingering exhaust fumes mixing with sweat to conjure the rare elixir of real rock n roll.

The story of the band who would come to be known as The Lords of Altamont gets a proper start in late 1999. A son of Southern California and a veteran of the SoCal music scene, Jake Cavaliere - with numerous bands and projects from garage to punk dating back to the late 80s under his belt - enlisted fellow motorcycle rider and bandmate of the instro/surf sensation The Bomboras,  Johnny Devilla, to form something new. Max Eidson, Doran Shelley, and Gabriel Hammond rounded out the original lineup known as “The First Five”. Besides holding their first show at the legendary venue The Garage in Hollywood, high points include touring as the support act for their primitive rock n roll idols The Cramps, infamous rock gods The Who as well as counting the late Michael Davis of the MC5 as a past member.

Through personnel changes and various adventures over the past  15+ years, The Lords of Altamont continue to release albums and Jake “The Preacher” Cavaliere , along with his assemblage of gritty and talented personalities, continues to captivate audiences with unparalleled hard driven performances the world over.
