Davie Allan (The Arrows) to be present and receiving the Life Time Achievment Award for Guitarist


Biography:
In the late sixties, Davie Allan & The Arrows carved their niche in the musical history books with an array of classic instrumentals and two dozen motion picture soundtracks.
The most notable of the movies were the cult classics The Wild Angels, Devil's Angels, The Glory Stompers and Born Losers.

Davie's more recent film work includes Jim Jarmusch's Night On Earth, Roger Corman's Not Like Us, MTV's Road Rules, Psycho Sisters, and From Dusk 'til Dawn, 2. plus an episode of The Sopranos in 2004 and Tarantino's Hell Ride from 2008.

In 1999, they won the “LA Weekly Music Award” for Best Instrumental Band.

In 1994, the critically acclaimed recording Loud, Loose and Savage (Top 10 CD pick ... San Francisco Chronicle, Guitar Player and Bam) brought back the "cycle-delic" sounds of cult legend Davie Allan.



LA Reader: "...perhaps the closest thing you'll ever hear to a combination of Link Wray, Dick Dale and Henry Mancini..."

Rolling Stone: "...the boss hogs of biker flick soundtracks..."

Flipside: "High priest of the fuzz guitar"
