Weed out the Weak is a vibrant and dynamic trio from Mesa, AZ who formed in August of 2007. Their music ranges from the mellowest of blues to blistering speed metal. Kara Klassen, an Arizona native, is the guitarist and lead vocalist. She has often been compared to Melissa Etheridge because of the power behind her voice. Ben Ferguson, from the hills of Arkansas (we’re lucky he wears shoes), rocks a 6-string bass, and has been compared to Les Claypool of Primus. Roc Smith, the drummer from Cincinnati, OH (where a 3-way is a food reference), is heavily influenced by Metallica. However, she plays a wide spectrum of styles, including jazz and punk. They have something for everyone, and can shape their set-list to fit any event. Willis Day Jr. saw the band at The Goathead Saloon in Mesa, AZ. Willis instantly became a fan, and posted the following comment on Facebook that night, “Weed out the Weak ... !! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE !! A diverse fusion of PUNK, ROCK, REGGAE, and RAP ... A blend that many may do, but can't do as well. “
