The Lords Of Altamont

On May 15, 2026, The Lords Of Altamont return to Le Ferrailleur in Nantes. Born in Los Angeles in the late 1990s around singer and organist Jake Cavaliere (formerly of The Bomboras), the band delivers blunt, straight-ahead garage rock where the organ leads the charge, the guitars rasp and the rhythm section keeps a tight grip. Biker imagery, the ghost of Altamont and an unvarnished rock’n’roll culture run through their music, somewhere between Detroit and the West Coast, with influences from ’60s punk, proto-hard rock and psychedelia.

From the first album To Hell With The Lords to Tune In, Turn On, Electrify!, the trajectory is clear: concise tracks, a raw sound, crafted for clubs and festivals. On stage, The Lords Of Altamont favor tension and groove, the overdriven organ held as their standard and the riff working like a vice. Meet them in Nantes for a dive into their dry, direct rock—made for sweat rather than for display—closest to the DNA of ’60s and ’70s garage rock reworked with a Californian twist.
