About:

Formed by members of Link-80, Shinobu and countless other Bay Area heavyweights, Gnarboots came to be in 2009 with the sole intent of creating chaos and good times through their music, both recorded and live. Since their formation the band has played with the likes of Bomb The Music Industry!, Hard Girls, Kepi Ghoulie and Sean Bonette (Andrew Jackson Jihad). Gnarboots is typically associated with their wide variety of musical stylings (ranging from Garage Rock to 80's synth-pop), as well as their boisterous live shows which have been known to include free style rapping, improvised dance numbers and the occasional chicken fight.
