The Long Way Home

As an important up and coming act in the LA indie music scene, the music The Long Way Home produces cannot be ignored. Generating a hybrid style of rock all their own, The Long Way Home is at their best while mining the classic rock forms of Hendrix and Zeppelin and filtering them through the more experimental and harder rock of contemporary bands like Tool or the Mars Volta. Whats amazing about this band is the familiarity they seem to evoke, all the while managing to create a genuine sound unlike anything youve ever heard before. The Long Way Home was formed four years ago by a group of four young men who were eager to devote themselves to the production of quality music. Guitarist, technical guru and producer Matt Joy shapes the bands distinctive sound with his seamless precision. George Reichart pushes the limits of the music with his innovative composition and virtuosic guitar playing. The quiet and intellectual Chris Hagenah holds down the grooves on bass. And driving the beat with his hard-hitting drum style is the visceral Keith Lawton. From their humble beginnings playing to the LA college crowds like USC and UCLA, The Long Way Home have been expanding their audience in several ways. Focusing on the independent and hard rock demographics, the band plays famous Hollywood venues such as The Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, The Viper Room, and the Joint, to the beach crowds in the South Bay at popular spots like The Lighthouse Cafe, to trendy Venice clubs like The Good Hurt and laid-back bars like Brennans. A newly developed web site seeks to push the exposure of the band and their music to an even wider audience. And last of all, with the positive feedback from their last effort, the band returns to the studio in the winter to self-produce their next album. The determined group promises the album will capitalize on their innumerable talents in order to produce an inventive and memorable set of songs.
