"Fangs Out" - Samantha Wandtke & Mark Peterson
Fangs Out is a two piece minimalist art rock band based out of Bowling Green & Toledo, Ohio. Comprised of two members from the now defunct B.G. band "Bullet Teeth" - bass player Mark Peterson and vocalist Samantha Wandtke. But make no mistake playing bass for Bullet Teeth was not the only trick up Mark's sleeve, as well was singing Samantha's only ability. Together they have successfully formed an interchanging duo of musicianship and song writing. During live shows you can expect to see Mark and Samantha switch between playing drums, bass and guitar. It's a rotating twist and turn of raw early New York style art rock. The songs are catchy, danceable and melodic.
"For the money & the ladies" - Samantha
Best described as Blondie having sex with The Eurythmics while Iggy Pop throws popcorn at the crowd mockingly but tenderly. Fangs Out is very early on in their career and will definitely mature as musicians. They have a terrific sense of simplicity and honesty in their live shows. It's about the songs. You won't find any crazy stage antics or false hype with this duo. It is what it is and it's worth a listen and a look. They have been busy playing an impressive amount of live shows. You will not have to look far to find venue close by that they haven't yet played or aren't about to.
