FNG (FAITH NO GWAR), VERONA ON VENUS Announce Co-Headline LA Debut Show By Larry Petro, News Monkey Sunday, March 23, 2025 @ 11:17 AM
This milestone performance will introduce audiences to both bands for the first time, delivering high-energy sets filled with raw power, theatrical intensity, and a celebration of music's most fearless sounds. VERONA ON VENUS will bring their signature heavy, melodic style to the stage, alongside the unrelenting chaos of FNG's tribute to the legendary acts that inspired them.
"Many years ago I wrote a satirical/musical short that I wanted to produce about a working class garage band that uses this specific music to vent their daily frustrations about slugging it out in modern society", says Piggy D. "This show will be the raw live performance of that fictional band. It's quite far from being an actual tribute or cover band. Instead, I call it a "musical repurposing". In today's climate, it's a renewed excuse to rock out and have a laugh at how ridiculous and bizarre life is.
Our gig is also during "June Gloom", which is a really good time for cupcakes and birthday hats. You should come. This is the most insane art project I've ever attempted and we will debut it at a special one-night-only event at the Whisky."
FNG is a chaotic fusion of grease, rage, and absurdity, a band of disgruntled clown car mechanics who channel their working-class frustrations through blistering covers and twisted reinterpretations of FAITH NO MORE and GWAR anthems. Clad in oil-stained overalls and smeared clown paint, they transform shop-floor grievances into cathartic, theatrical performances, welding satire and aggression into every riff. Their sound is a manic collision of metal, punk, and unhinged circus energy-an explosive middle finger to the soul-crushing grind of modern labor. When the engine won't start, the boss won't pay, and the world feels like a rigged joke, FNG turns it into a war cry.
FNG consists of the Compton-based thrash band THE LORDS OF SIN as well as Matt "Piggy D." Montgomery reprising his 'Giggles The Clown' persona on lead vocals. Montgomery is known for his work with Rob Zombie, Wednesday 13, Amen, Alice Cooper and most recently Marilyn Manson.
"This band has been a long time in the making, and we're finally stepping into the spotlight with a show of this magnitude," says Spreitzer. "Whisky a Go Go has been home to so many legendary moments in rock and metal history, and we can't wait to add our own chapter to that story."
VERONA ON VENUS will perform tracks from the debut album Popular Delusions including singles, "Pretty" and "War Baby". Popular Delusions, released in January 2024, has garnered attention for its distinctive blend of heavy melodic metal and industrial-inspired sounds. The project marks Spreitzer's transition from his role as lead guitarist of DEVILDRIVER to frontman, showcasing his vocal prowess and songwriting abilities.
Additional bands will be announced soon, rounding out a night that promises to be one of the most explosive events of the summer.
The Whisky A Go Go, a historic venue that has hosted countless legendary acts, provides the perfect backdrop for this must-see event. Fans are encouraged to secure their tickets early as this show is expected to sell out quickly.
