About Me

We live in "The Goodland" of "Wealthy Estates" (Santa Barbara, California). We play expressive, honest, no rules rock (We do what we do...). We released a full length titled: "The Villainy of the Ordinary". We released "Snapshots from a Warehouse"our EP before that. We have another self-titled record to be released this year. We want you to go get it, love it, leave it, then love it again, and get some for your friends to love it, too. We are 4 friends, 2 guitars, 1 bass, 1 drum kit and anything else we can get our hands on. We love music. We would be crazy to do what we do and not love music. We try and cram as much of ourselves into our music as we can. We rock out in a basement. We will rock just about anywhere. We have been rocking for over 5 years now, and the rock just keeps getting better. We have rocked with some great bands, most of which are our friends. We hope you get to see us. We hope we get to see you. We are no good at writing bios. We will probably change this.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/16/2004
Band Website: thatv.com
Band Members: Gabriel Clark-Guitar, Vox
David M. Mendoza-Guitar, Vox
Tyler Hegner-Bass, Vox
Brad Reeves-Drums
Angie M. Bertucci-Keys, Percussion
Influences: ROCK.
Sounds Like: I think everyone hates this question because everyone wants to be the diamond in the rough. I know as a band we don't want to sound like anybody else. But even diamonds come from pressure. Our influences, meaning other music and bands that we like and grew up with, are all over our music... (Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, At the Drive in, David Bowie, Sunny Day Real Estate, Fugazi, U2, The Pixies, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Godspeed you Black Emperor...) If we have done our job, half of them you will know and the other half, you won't hear.
Record Label: Damnoise Records
Type of Label: Indie
