Got some rock n roll history coming to Tucson. The Sloths were one of those awesome LA bands who were too young for their own good and too controversial for their time.

They split bills with The Doors, Iron Butterfly, Pink Floyd and The Animals. Though it didn’t last, the fact that they have finally gotten back together is nonetheless musically exhilarating.”
And this video shows they are anything but sloth-ful:
