Hello! So we're playing this coming Sunday, February 28th at 8 pm at The Mint! Please come out for a rocking good time. If you still haven't picked up a Palisades Drive sampler at one of our past shows, you can pick up yours free at The Mint. Did I mention, we <3 it when you guys come to our shows? It makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. We also made some pretty snazzy looking posters (like the one below) this time around, which will be on sale at the show.

See you there!!

Some old sketches Steph did of the band as animals. Ain't we just the cutest? Who's that monkey fellow?...

A few months ago Nick took apart his first guitar, stripped the original paint job and put on his own art. Kevin Barrios and Stephanie Fung also contributed illustrations.

Hey guys! Steph here. Hope you guys are liking the look of the new site!  We're so excited to finally have it up and runnin. Since some of you might not know exactly what we're all about, here is short bio. Enjoy!

This band is ambitious. Maybe too much for their own good. They’re always aiming for the next highest mark. Last summer they decided to make band t-shirts, on a whim, for an upcoming show. So, where almost everybody else would just send them out to get made, they decided to make them by hand, themselves. They literally built the screen printing equipment, making it up as they went. Sure, it all went wrong at first, but a couple of stitches, a lot of paint, and some shirt fueled fires later, they made some great shirts they could be proud of (I’m wearing one right now). This is only one among many dozen home brewed projects the band has taken on and conquered (Don’t ask about the vocal booth. “Measure twice, cut once” is all I have to say.) This is the same approach they’ve taken to their music. Their willingness to try anything, always in the spirit of getting better, has brought them a long way. Their music, like their shirts, will always be something they can be proud of.

Based out of Pacific Palisades, the band comes from all over the city of LA. Friends since high school, they’ve stayed together and stayed friends because of those Sunday afternoons they spend making music together. The fact that their music is made freely out of the same creative drive they bring to the rest of their lives keeps it from ever getting old. Now, five years later, they’re interested in taking their music out to the rest of the country, hoping to find some kindred souls.
