Eisley
http://www.myspace.com/eisley
Eisley: was formed in 1997 in their bedroom after youngest sibling, Stacy, wrote their first song at age 8. They performed first show in Spring '98, grew in local coffee house/rock venue, played 100's of shows as unsigned indie for 4 years ('98 - '02) in Texas, found and audience in Dallas’s Deep Ellum crowd about the time Sunny Day Real Estate released their 4th record. With a hand full of inspiring songs, new management and great press from music critics in the burgeoning Dallas scene, the young indie-pop group released their debut ep on Record Collection (Mike Mogis produced), signed w/ Warners, jumped on Coldplay’s Rush of Blood tour and began carving out a National following.

3 ep's + 2 lp’s, 15 US tours, 3 UK tours & 1 Australia tour later Sherri DuPree - vocals/guitars, Stacy DuPree - vocals/keys, Chauntelle DuPree - vocals/guitars, Weston DuPree (drums) and their cousin Garron DuPree - bass, are expanding/growing (median age - 22), hitting stride and persist in writing beautiful, lush, melody-charged pop songs, arguably have the best female vocals in the biz’ and continue to win hearts and minds from a broad, growing demographic.

The band's undaunted commitment to their own unique, visually imaginative brand of song-crafting has both nurtured their base and shielded them from mass homogenization. Indifferent to industry boundaries/conventions, Eisley continues to expand - focused on who they are, writing what they feel/experience as they remain devoted to song-crafting, relational marketing, touring.

Eisley is nearing completion on an exciting, brutally honest, catchy-as-hell 3rd LP to be released this year followed by a dauntless exhibition of touring.

The Lion & The Sail

The Lion & The Sail is an seven-piece indie–progressive rock outfit from Tyler, Texas, although they have said on several occasions that they are less of a band and more of a "small orchestra". The earliest traces of the band were formed in the early spring of 2009, but the real workings of the band were not concrete until mid-July of 2009, when the group really locked into working on songs. The band's ensemble was finalized in September, and by November of the same year, the group was in the studio recording its first EP, entitled “Things To Say,” which would be released in January 29, 2010. Progressive, emotional and epic, The Lion & The Sail will take you on a musical adventure you're sure to never forget.
