Pistol Whippin Ike is more than just a rock and roll bandits a sound with attitude, a feeling of raw energy and a full throttle all out assault on the senses.
Spring of 2000 ushered in the genesis of Pistol Whippin Ike. The band went straight to work writing lyrics and creating music that captured the essence of Pistol Whippin Ikes desired sound, all the while searching for the perfect front man. Several months and numerous auditions later, the group found the singer that made the band complete. In late 2000, Pistol Whippin Ike played their first live performance to an audience of wildly enthusiastic fans. In 2001, the band was invited to headline the Harder Beat Magazine Showcase. Pistol Whippin' Ike stole the show with a knockout performance that left the crowd aghast.
Impressed with the bands distinctive sound, The Gravity Games included three of Pistol Whippin Ikes songs on The Complete 2003 Gravity Games home video collection and matching compilation CD. The band also quickly received an endorsement from Carvin Corporation, makers of world-class guitars and amplifiers. Pistol Whippin Ike was later asked to headline a showcase in the Dallas Music Fest, where they dominated and were voted Best Hard Rock Artist.
In early 2004, Pistol Whippin Ike began working with the prestigious music marketing and management firm Ardsley & Bay. Soon after, Ardsley & Bay arranged for the band to record its debut album with Multi-platinum Producer, David Prater. That album entitled . 44 Caliber Confessions, was released in October to rave reviews and in front of a rabid crowd of hundreds of fans in Dallas.
Throughout 2005 Pistol Whippin Ike toured the region intensely, now building large fan bases not only in the Dallas/Ft. Worth/North-Texas area, but all through the southwest, including the cities of Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Oklahoma City, and many more in-between. With their growing reputation they were quickly noticed as a complete package band, and picked up for support performances for national touring bands such as Sevendust, Fireball Ministry, The X's, L.A. Guns, Skindread, Atimus Pyledriver, Vains of Jenna, and others.
This momentum carried into 2006, and is still here today. This too has led to multiple songs being used on soundtracks and compilation CDs again in 2006. (Ultimate Jell-O-Wresting Sound Track, Big-O Music/Records Sampler and Compilation CDs) All the while Pistol Whippin Ike has continued to write and record new material for their forthcoming CD, again produced by David Prater.
To this day the bands unique sound and powerful live performances continue to captivate audiences everywhere and when fans are asked to describe a Pistol Whippin Ike show, the response is always the same NOBODY WHIPS YOU LIKE IKE!
