The Mentors Tickets

The Mentors are one of rock's most notorious and influential shock acts, formed in 1976 in Seattle by Eldon Hoke (El Duce), Eric Carlson (Sickie Wifebeater), and Steve Broy (Dr. Heathen Scum). The band relocated to Los Angeles in 1979, where they built a following with provocative lyrics and uncensored performances that helped define the shock rock aesthetic. Known for their blunt, sexually explicit content and fearless stage presence, The Mentors shaped a movement that drew national attention during the PMRC hearings in 1985, especially with their controversial track Golden Shower.
