BIO:
Formed in late 2005, The Heavy Pets are a traveling American Rock 'n' Roll band that are best known for their explosive live performances
and deep catalog of original compositions. The bands' members have been writing and performing music together in various projects since 1996 when the founders of the band, Jeff, Mike, and Joe met in Goshen, N.Y.  Now based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, The Heavy Pets have spent the last two years touring nationally and recording their double disc debut album "Whale" which was released in May of 2007. Backed by this monster release the Pets have found a happy home on stages across the country including a growing number of large festival appearances ('06 & '07 Langerado Festival in Sunrise, FL, the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Detroit Lakes, MN, the Symbiosis Gathering in Angels Camp, CA, and Ashefest in Deerfields, NC). Having multiple songwriters and lyricists within the band allows The Heavy Pets to encompass a wide range of musical styles within their work. The recent double album provides touches of folk, progressive rock, reggae, and funk

BIO:
Born in space, razed in Fort Worth, and now regenerating in Austin, The Frontier Brothers "have a love for the pure pleasures of music-making" (FW Weekly) that permeates their indie space-rock sound. Marshall Galactic, Brett Moses, and Travis Newman craft a new breed of danceable indie-pop inspired by artists ranging from David Bowie and ELO to WILCO and Ben Folds. "'80s Euro-synth lines mix with harmonicas, crafty melodies, and insouciant punk-ish vocals. [..] Just when you think a guitar part is going to fray off into a thrash thunderstorm, along comes a lovely piano bridge or a '60s mop-top background vocal refrain a la The Turtles" (FW Weekly)

Since their SXSW dazzling debut in 2006, The Frontier Brothers have toured the country, playing sold-out shows at Arlene's Grocery (New York), Zydeco (New Orleans), The Red Eyed Fly (Austin), and The Aardvark (Fort Worth). The space trio are currently touring, getting more visionaries and voyagers  turned on to their new five-song EP, Solar Power Struggle! 

"The Frontier Brothers cover the wicked terrain between The Beach Boys and The Kinks with just a touch of mad Syd Barrett," says Vivien Goldman, feature writer for Mojo, Rolling Stone, etc. However you describe them, The Frontier Brothers are simply out of this world. So grab a drink, scream at the top of your lungs, and Marshall Galactic might just reveal his secrets of space. 

In short, The Frontier Brothers are ready to crash in to your world!  Be there.
