The WAVE MAGAZINE...............

AMERICAN INFIDEL www.aceandres.comWe rarely feature local musicians in this section, mainly because every dude with a garage band will suddenly send us his new CD – and, frankly, we have enough coasters here in the office already. But when we received a copy of American Infidel, the newest release from Los Altos-based guitar god Ace Andres, we knew an exception had to be made. The album is packed with crunching riffs and distorted hooks, and includes such instant classics as “I Need a Beer” and “Save Me,” which Ace claims he wrote “while watching Terri Schiavo die.” If you like musicians who play fast, loud and unapologetically confrontational rock – Ace is the man.
