ATTIKA 7 has been added to the Musink Tattoo & Music Festival, taking place on Friday, March 4th at OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, CA.. Attika 7 joins an already exciting line-up that includes SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, BIOHAZARD and CKY. Attika 7 will also be signing for fans at the Illusion Booth throughout the festival alongside Andy McPhee from the hit television series Sons Of Anarchy.

Attika 7 is the brainchild of guitarist Rusty Coones, who began writing the songs for the group’s debut while incarcerated in prison. With more than 30 songs already written and the help of another friend, Fletcher Dragge of PENNYWISE, Attikia 7 found their way into the studio and recorded an incredible EP offering up a melodic punishment that was heavily influenced by PANTERA, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and ROB ZOMBIE. The band quickly began playing shows throughout California and spreading their music to metal fans alike. The group's self-titled EP is available via iTunes here.

The 2011 Musink Tattoo & Music Festival will offer three days of music and ink in Orange County, CA on Friday, March 4th (2 - 11 PM), Saturday, March 5th (12 noon - 11 PM) and Sunday, March 6th (12 noon - 10 PM).
