1000 Lbs of Sound was formed in Amarillo, TX in the spring of 2005. Guitarist Alan Gill, drummer Lee Perez and bassist Jason Riggs come together bringing their devotion to music to create something unique and powerful. Their various heavy, trippy, groove, alternative blues styles mesh so well together creating an original sound. The driving, intense rhythm, on the spot beats and dual vocalists of the Pounds makes for an incredibly enjoyable live show that keeps the audience hooked from the first notes. The passion and drive that these three musicians share show that they’re ready for the road ahead and will let nothing compromise the vision for their lives.In November of 2005, the Texas trio rocked the stage for the Emergenza Music Festival in Austin, TX.“For a heavy name, 1000 lbs of Sound was able to jump around musically through intricate guitar mixed with trippy rhythms and solid bass. Great instrumental work!â€â€”panelist for Emergenza Music Festival
They returned to the Emergenza stage in March of '07.
"1000lbs of Sound, with a solid rockin' set of American rock done right! The sound hit you like a ton of rock bricks, and closed the night properly."--Emergenza panelist.The band’s debut album Heavy, was released independently in August of 2006, followed by a west coast tour.
