Brittany Throckmore

VOCALS

With the voice of an Angel and the Heavy Metal Scream of a Demon, this sultry Southern California girl can do it all. Brittany brings a high level of energy and stage presence that will get any crowd involved and engaged.

Brittany had been performing in Vegas for the past few years with various Top 40 cover bands. On one faithful night, one of the founding members of Throckmore was tipped off to come and check out her show. Let’s just say that after just a couple of vocal bars, there was no question that Brittany was the perfect fit and neither she nor Throckmore have looked back!

Dee Stiff

Guitar

Dee may be the “Old Man” of the group, but as he says, “Fuck You!…Age is only a number!”. This Florida native, started out playing drums at the age of 3, when his father (a drummer in the 50’s Rock-N-Roll Era) gave him his first drum set as a Christmas gift. Later, in High School he would discover metal bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and S.O.D and their heavy riffing guitars. Dee later formed bands that played and recorded Hard Rock and Metal. In the 90’s Dee began to play and write Grunge for bands like Martyr Gunn. After taking a long hiatus from music to raise his family, Dee met Hoppy (Throckmore’s original Drummer) and together they decided to form a band playing the music they love and Vegas was missing out on in the music scene. After finding all the right pieces….Throckmore was born.

Patrick “Crash” Smith

GUITAR

Born and raised in Houston, TX, Crash is a lifelong guitarist and dedicated songwriter with deep roots in the Southern metal scene. Influenced by the raw power of bands like Pantera, he cut his teeth playing in heavy-hitting acts such as Ten Ton Hammer, forging a reputation for his aggressive tone and unrelenting stage presence.

After relocating to Las Vegas, Crash brought his signature sound west, quickly becoming a staple in the city’s hard rock underground. As a founding member of bands like Haddonfield, his contributions have helped shape the modern Vegas metal landscape, blending Southern grit with high-desert intensity.

Crash continues to push boundaries, creating music that’s loud, honest, and unapologetically heavy.

Crash’s unmistakable tone and onstage firepower are a perfect fit for Throckmore’s evolving sound and explosive live shows.

Rob Holtzman

BASS

 

Rob Holtzmann brings a rich musical background and a deep love for heavy music to his role as Throckmore’s bass player. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Rob began his musical journey at age 15 as a guitarist and songwriter, cutting his teeth in the rock and metal clubs of Laclede’s Landing. Those early years shaped his understanding of tone, energy, and the raw power of live performance.

A true musical chameleon, Rob also creates under the alias Clown Car Tragedy, producing electronic music, DJing, and performing as a multi-instrumentalist. This diverse experience gives his bass playing a modern edge—blending old-school rock grit with nuanced production and rhythmic feel.

Since moving to Las Vegas in 2021, Rob has been an active part of the local music scene, both behind the decks and on stage. His connection with Throckmore began during an Evanescence tribute show, where he stepped in on bass and instantly clicked with the band’s sound and chemistry.

Whether driving the low end with thunderous precision or weaving subtle textures into the mix, Rob’s technical skill and creative instincts make him an essential force in Throckmore’s evolving sound.

D’Angelo Garbarino

Drums

Hailing from Colorado Springs, CO, D’Angelo brings a deep groove and unmatched energy to the kit. He’s a seasoned powerhouse whose resume includes standout work with Kilgroov, New Roll Soul, and The Liquid Kitchen. Most recently, he’s been playing alongside Throckmore’s own Dee Stiff and Brittany Throckmore in Neverescence (an Evanescene Tribute) , making this an easy and electric connection.
Many of you may know D’Angelo as the founder and former drummer of Emma Grey. Though that chapter has closed, we’re honored to be part of this new beginning—and can’t wait for you to hear what’s coming next.
D’Angelo’s joining us at just the right time. Big things are in motion, and with him on board, the rhythm section just got a whole lot deeper.

Throcky Morton

Mascot/ evil jester

Getting information from Throcky has not been easy.

It is rumored that Throcky had been roaming the sub-levels of the Excalibur Hotel and Casino for years. He always wanted to be the court jester and entertain the tourists that visited, but, his acts of debauchery and violence were frowned upon by Management. They deployed an Elite Security Task Force to track him down, but found the Task Force began to dwindle in numbers as Throcky took care of them one by one. He was able to allude (or destroy) Security for many years in the basement of the Excalibur. One night he heard a band playing and was immediately drawn to them. He made a banner he puts up behind the band at gigs and named them “Throckmore”. He continues to lurk around at their shows and has only been seen a few times (click here). Keep a close eye on your friends. We think he is converting them to Throckers….one by one.
