RoTTon Core is a rock band from the Sunset District in San Francisco. We have been around since the early 1980’s playing many clubs throughout The City. Our music is as unique as the neighborhood that we come from. There isn’t any one word that could describe our sound.

We play original rock music with blues and punk influences. Our inspirations come from a variety of bands and artists including Chester D, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Ramones, The Clash, and MC M and the Monster.

If you like the blues and punk with a little twist then RoTTon Core is definitely for you. In addition to our original material we cover a few tunes; mostly by the artists mentioned above.

Although the RoTTon Core lineup has changed over the years, the one main staple has been Blue Lew. Blue Lew has headed this group since its inception in 1979 and has been the driving force behind what is RoTTon Core.

Our bass player, Gray Ray, has been in the band for about ten years and The Brett, rhythm guitar and keyboards, has been playing with the group since 1997. RoTTon Core has also just added two new members to the group: Sophie Vee of the band Sick Susan are now part of RoTTon Core.

Over the last year we have released two 3-song CDs entitled Back off Jack and Messed up Fucked up all on Drugs. Our 3rd CD, Shark Attack will be available by the end of June 2004. Our full length album, menaœ In a Society Gone Mad, will be out by the end of 2004.
