The Chinese calendar calls 2012 the year of the Dragon. The Mayans claim it’s the end of the world. Southern California jam-rock band, Quactus has adopted 2012 as “The Year of the Quack” and will kick off this years show schedule at TRiP bar in Santa Monica, CA on January 21st with Shaky Feelin’ and Curtis. Returning to Quactus in 2012 is original keyboard player Mike Russeck and taking a permanent position on percussion is Keith Erickson. The addition of two additional members is rounding out the sound of the band and giving them a fuller and certainly louder sound.

Quactus ended the 2011 with a blow-out party that kicked up the sand in Hermosa Beach, CA on December 2nd with Electronica legends, Particle at Saint Rocke. If that show was any precursor to what is to come, then I look forward to a quack-tastic 2012.
