FAIR GAME (2009 Sammie Nominee)

About Me


After an amazing year of touring to promote their first album No Strings Attached, wich was released April 21st, 2008 online, Fair Game has begun the writing process once again in 2009 for their sophomore album.
Fair Game was Drawn together as if by psychic musical forces. Vocalist Adrian Maldonado and bass-player Victor Frost, both with roots in Merida, Mexico, converged in Northern California with Sacramento natives Leo Reyes and Sam Sever to unleash their high-energy fusion of progressive rock and funk, with undertones of jazz and blues.... So welcome to the FAIR GAME experience!
Driven by wild guitar riffs, funky bass lines and powerful drum beats while being ignited by the spark of energetic melodic vocals, their dynamic hybrid sound really brings something fresh to the music world! “When you come together as a band to create your music, the individuals have a set idea of what the sound should be like, but through the creative process, the songs evolve into something that goes beyond what you expected. It is the blend of ideas and influences that all the band members bring to the table that gives our music its originality,” says bassist Victor Frost.
Currently the guys are working hard in the studio writing their next album. Fair Game was recently KRXQ 98 Rock's Local Licks Artist of the Month for February 09 and recently made an appearance on ABC Channel 10 News to promote their UC Davis Childrens Hospital Benefit Show. The band has also been nominated for a 2009 Sammie in the Funk/Ska catagory.
"The four guys in Fair Game have such a musical bond with each other, that the music can't help but be good. With heavy Bass driven riffs, fun and sexually charged lyrics, the rythmic beat of the drums, and soaring guitar solo's, Fair Game takes music to a different level. Their energy cannot stay Earth bound. Blast off!!" -Mark Gilmore, Host of KRXQ 98 ROCK'S LOCAL LICKS-
"This is a band you’d expect to hear on 98 Rock; it’s that simple. The bassist even looks like a Mexican version of Chris Cornell in his heyday (or perhaps a distant cousin of Josh Fernandez), but that’s beside the point. Beyond the intense facial hair and power stances, these guys look like they might have a bright future in the music industry. How do I know this? Because they have official Fair Game wet T-shirt contests, and damnit, that has to count for something." - J.DLT. Sacramento News And Review-
