Welcome to the House of Wasabi!
Wasabi Rocks the Charm City Devil's Record Release Party!
Maryland City, Maryland - April 12, 2012
It's been a long while since we've seen the record industry interested in the Bands of Baltimore. With the recent rise in amazing talent coming from Maryland, we (the struggling musicians) knew it would only be a matter of time before the recording industry started looking our way again. With that being said, the Spiciest Band of Brothers on the East Coast are excited to be a part of the momentous occasion.
The Charm City Devils was founded by singer/song writer and former SR-71 drummer, John Allen and includes Anthony Arambula (bass), Jason Hesier (drums), Victor Karrera (guitar) and Nick Kay (guitar). The band was first signed to Eleven Seven Music in 2009. After signing with Eleven Seven Music, Motley Crue bassist and Eleven Seven Music Chairman, Nikki Sixx, suggested the bands current name Charm City Devils. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
In 2011, Charm City Devils were signed to Fat Lady Records (Who also signed Egypt Central) and will be releasing their first CD under their new label at the awesome show/party.
The Bros of Wasabi are pumped to be kicking off the evenings entertainment for the Charm City Devils and can't wait to light the fuse!
Don't miss Wasabi and the Charm City Devils at the Recher Theatre Saturday, April 21st. Doors are at 6:30pm with Wasabi taking the stage just before 7pm.
Contact a Wasabi Street Team Member or Band Member for Ticket Reservations. We hope you can make it out and Rock with us!!
This show is ALL AGES, So bring everyone!!

Mid-Atlantic Rock Reviews Artist Spotlight on Wasabi
Maryland City, Maryland - September 25, 2011
Tonight we take a look at one of Baltimore's hottest, or as they like to say "spiciest" live rock bands Wasabi.
We had the pleasure this weekend of seeing our first live Wasabi show at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, Maryland. One thing became obvious right away. When you go to a Wasabi show, you are going to have a good time. The three brothers exude energy on stage and leave little doubt that they are having a great time.
Their stage presence reminds me a lot of New York rockers ZO2, who we love. They are so clearly enjoying themselves that you find yourself smiling in the crowd. Wasabi is musically solid and the set we saw featured a mixture of original tunes combined with a pretty diverse selection of cover tunes including a rocking version of "99 Red Balloons" and a nice cover version of "Crazy Train".

The brothers unabashedly claim an influence from Kiss and cite the iconic band as being an inspiration to them when they were as young as 8 years old. Baltimore music fans may recognize them from their occasional appearances on Baltimore's rock station 98 Rock, where they are notorius for bringing in Japanese food.
The band's original tunes are very strong. and each one seems to have a personal story behind it. The band's opening tune "Booty Rockin" got thigs started featuring not only a great rock tune, but some cool stage effects as well. The emotional tune "Coming Home" was a great song in the middle of the set and was dedicated to U.S. military personnel about whom it was written. It is the band's newest tune.
I don't want to give away too much more about the band yet, since they will be the featured band on Episode 7 of Mid-Atlantic Rock Reviews Behind the Bands, which is being edited right now. I will tell you that you won't want to miss the interview. The guys are entertaining both on and off stage.
Here is the opening song from the set we saw at Ram's Head Live on 9/23/11. You can see the entire set on our YouTube Channel at the same link.
