The Dragons live at Mondo Hollywood

The Dragons: “they were a key part of Tiger Mask’s success throughout the early 2000s. Every performance brought down the house, not to mention how hammered their fans used to get. Everyone in the audience seemed to have two drinks in their hands while The Dragons played — whether in Las Vegas or at the Garage in Los Angeles. They have such a highly energetic and mesmerizing live show.  We loved them so much that the Dragons were invited to our first three Las Vegas Shakedown festivals; a distinction shared only by fellow hellraisers Throw Rag. At Mondo Hollywood we hope to expose them to a whole new generation of rock’n’rollers.”

The Dragons began in 1991 in San Diego, California. Three months later, and after playing the first of eleven South By Southwest Music Conference Showcases, the band released a vinyl EP called “X” for a label in Spain called Impossible Records. A year later they followed it up with a single for Poptone Records which put them on the map in San Diego. In 1996 The Dragons Recorded “Painkiller” for Scam-O-Rama Records owned by the infamous “InebriaTED” who discovered the band during his tenure as writer for Flipside Magazine.

Two years later The Dragons signed a deal with Junk Records from Long Beach (founded by Lou Carus and funded by Brian Holland of The Offspring) and released “Cheers To Me,” “R.L.F” and “Kamikaze” in three consecutive years. They followed that with a Japanese-only release titled, “The Dragons,” and toured Japan.

In 2003 The Dragons signed with Gearhead Records with the “Master Mechanic himself” Mike LaVella and Michelle Haunold and released “Sin Salvation” as well as a remixed and remastered version “RockNRoll Kamikaze.” The Dragons have toured with The Wildhearts, Guitar Wolf, The Hellacopters, Riverboat Gamblers, B-Movie Rats, Texas Terri, Gaza Strippers, The Demons, The Black Halos, The Spitfires, and have shared bills with The Supersuckers, The Backyard Babies, Rocket From The Crypt, The Muffs, The Zeros and many other reputable and disreputable punks and rockers.
