"
THE PITS make new music that honors their roots, but isn't enslaved to them… a rare fresh sounding outfit among new bands... like Robert Randolph!"
"Quite extraordinary!
THE PITS are one of those bands that sidestep every pitfall that they might have fallen into. It's "Jam Band / Southern Rock / Classic Rock"...
BUT REALLY GOOD!"
"Gorgeous, simply beautifully expressed music... It’s about time someone got back into what moody blues music, turned rock, feels like. Thank you, thank you!"
"A taste of the 1960's, but with the meat of today!"
"Hypnotic!! Original, very seducing, fantastic guitar and incredible voice, unforgettable..."
"Smooth as glass!"

Drop into The Pits
From every tomorrow's yesteryear comes...
THE PITS.
New and improved, and now cheaper than ever before.
Accept no sugar substitute, for what ails you is a lack of conviction and an irritated Powell. Awaken from your slumbers and slay the beast that feeds your television's imagination. There is much to do, and very little time warps
are all around us.
Do you see the light?
Neither do we, brother... neither do we.

COMPLIMENTARY CD LISTENING AID...
Side A
LIVIN IN EXILE/DERRIANNE - Bottleneck slide, cryin' beer bottle blues.
STUCK IN TRAFFIC - More slide craziness and some killer keys.
ITS RAINING SUNSHINE - Blues beatin' down like the relentless LA sun. You'll have to buy the CD to hear the closing jam.
MOVIN ON - Some call it Marshall Tucker-esque. We call it our requisite power ballad.
Side B
BORDERLINE - You know it if you've been there. Cold, hard and addictive.
I CANT WAKE UP - Pissed off at the politicians? Play this one loud.
WINGS - A true story and a great sing-along chorus. Unfortunately, the audio sample doesn't get you half-way there.
YOU'RE EVERYWHERE (BUT HERE) - Another mellow groove that builds up to a Jimmy/Warren/Jimi climax.
THE PITS - LIVE
Recorded 12/16/04 in Hollywood, CA... it features
THE PITS at their best - hard drivin guitars and explosive improv in a small smoked-filled club.
LISTEN TO THE CLOSING JAM by clicking on "PLAY" below. Don’t forget to hit “stop†on the MySpace music player at the top of this pager, unless you
want to hear two PITS tunes at once… which might be cool (but I wouldn't try it sober!).
PLAY - THE PITS LIVE
Set List: Borderline // Stuck in Traffic - Bring it on Home // It's Raining Sunshine // I Can't Wake Up // You're Everywhere (But Here) // Crosseyed & Painless - Wings
