We've played The Lava and Ash before, as well as drummer Curtis Tone's other band Toxic Deathula. They're playing Wrongbar at 10:40 and their band bio is so fun I'm just gonna quote it:

the lava and ash sound like/feel like a warm wash of your mothers milk after a hot summer day of playing skeet ball and laughing at you grandpa tripping over that fuzzy lil dog that is always running around the block and no one knows who owns the fucking thing but no one really cares cause its cute as cute as the greasy boys in this wonderfully perverted yes perversion can be wonderful kiddies(oh thats a lil creepy) band, oh they are lookers so watch it daddys or you'll be finding these boys with more then just their music in your wives and daughters wink wink nudge nudge.
