Teen Sensations

About Me

August 2007 Teens began as a project thanks to Caroline Casey who is a former member. She collaborated with Dante Conte, Darren Bond and Misti Watkins. November, Gigi Lopez was added on drums. Feb 2008 Teens began playing around Austin. In August Misti quit and Aug to Dec was spent finding another bass player and recording the first 12 track album on analog tape in Dante's garage. Jan 2009 Teens played The Fuzz Club w/Mike Poppit on bass. Mar 09 Donny was added on organ. Teen Sensations have been fortunate to play aside great artist in austin, from other cities and other countries. Please see our show list! Myspace Backgrounds
