About Me

Audio in the Pregap (n.)--1. A term coined by members of the music industry, used to describe the space before the first track of Compact Discs. It has been typically utilized by various bands to place more music then they have listed on the track list, usually very different from the music on the rest of the album.
2. A band based out of Houston, Texas, founded in 2007, consisting of former members of .belville and The Oots, as well as other like minded musicians. Sound can be describe as a mix of Indie/Dance/Rock, utilizing guitars, drums, synthesizers, electronics, bass, and various other instruments.
The current recordings found on this website are rough recordings taken from a rehearsal, using a single mic. Better recordings will be posted as they are created
REVIEWS: "Audio in the Pregap is so fun to watch. They are 5 expressive individuals vying for space to express their individuality while maintaing a unified front as a band. They overcame a strenuous stage sound situation with a lot of eye contact and verbal cues while never letting that get in the way of their rawkedness. I'm envious of their level of expression and lack of performance inhibitions. And to keep pushing forward amidst all the complexity shows that they are pros." Jeromy from The Mustn'ts
