SoundClick artist: The Knuckle Sandwiches - The Knuckle Sandwiches were in existence from 2004-2005. We were a garage/punk band with underlying

The Knuckle Sandwiches lived for about 18 months during 2004-05. Just a group of 4 working stiffs playing music in our spare time. We had a blast playing gigs in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and one NJ appearance at the annual Crawfish Fest in Augusta, NJ. A great time was had by all, and what we lacked in talent we made up for in enthusiasm! How would YOU like a Knuckle Sandwich?!

Why this name?

It provided the proper balance of violence and humor.

Do you play live?

We played around 2 dozen gigs during our tenure. The highlight had to be when we had the chance to play at CBGB's. So, it was the downstairs lounge, but it was still awesome. Also, we played a "Classic Album Night" at Arlene's Grocery, where we performed the entire Ramones' "Leave Home" album.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It gives more music to the masses.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

No way. We've turned down many offers, most of them were offers to stop playing.

Band History:

Steve and Andy went to LSU together, and have known each other for over 20 years. They decided to start a garage band and live out some rock star delusions. They added another LSU buddy, Will to play guitar, and Steve's work colleague Jon to play drums. The rest, as they say, is history.
