Bio

The Mission Creeps hail from Tucson. The Mission Creeps spin tales of a different, darker kind of desert, one of lonesome highways and ghost stories.

Inspired by art and film noir and horror movies, The Mission Creeps play dark psychedelia and take their cues from bands following similar inspirations, such as The Cramps, The Black Angels, Screamin Jay Hawkins, Joy Division, and The Sonics.

Rue Morgue Magazine described their sound as awash in surf guitar and noted singer James Arr’s ability, much like Nick Cave, to switch between seductive narrative and a raving yelp.

Supported by the throbbing rhythms of bassist Miss Frankie Stein and drummer George Palenzuela, a scary good time can always be had at their shows.

With six releases, they continue to offer up musical tales populated with witches, killer gnomes, and parties for the undead while providing beats that keep the body moving and the demons at bay.

The Mission Creeps are:

James "Arr" Roebuck: Vocals, Guitar, Theremin, Samplers
Miss Frankie Stein: Bass, Accordion, Melodica, Vocals,
George Palenzuela: Drums, Vocals
