Living Stereo

Come on, you're not too cool to dance...

About Me

DEBUT FULL LENGTH CD AVAILABLE HERE NOW!!! DON'T BE FOOLISH, YOU MUST OWN THIS!! IF YOU DON'T ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL TALK TRASH BEHIND YOUR BACK AND TOTALLY RUIN YOUR STREET CRED!!! STREET CRED IS EVERYTHING!!!Living Stereo is here to make rock and roll cool again... To get your back up off the wall and dance... To make you raise your fist and start a revolution... To cause your mid-section to move uncontrollably... To turn it up one notch past too loud... To yell motherfucker whenever it feels right... To not just get up there and go through the motions, but to PUT ON A SHOW, and look DAMN GOOD doing it.

Members have been in a whole bunch of noteable bands, but really, let's not focus on the past. Music inspired from the birth of rock and roll in the 50's up to the punk/new wave explosion of the late 70's and early 80's. It's not rock and roll unless it's got an R&B backbeat, kids... remember that... The "R" is for Rhythm and the "B" is for Blues. Forget about all that mechanized, quantized, pitch corrected noize they're trying to fool you with. Fists raise, hips shake, sweat pours, and at the end of the day you know that it's the real deal. It's Living Stereo.

Sounds Like: With shades of the Jam, the Who, and Iggy and the Stooges woven through its set, Living Stereo harks back to the pre-grunge, pre-hair-metal days of rock and roll, landing somewhere between the ultimate garage band and '60s mods on speed. ---- By Katherine Fulton for Scene Magazine -- Article Published Sep 13, 2006

Cleveland Dolls

Last night's show couldn't have gone better. We were given the honour of following the New York Dolls, as the official after-show. About 3 songs in the Tavern was almost full and the crowd pretty mu...

Twisting knobs...

Don and Brandon are currently twisting knobs until everything sounds wonderful. No, not that kind of knob twisting, that's personal and has nothing to do with making a record. We're mixing. Compres...

THE PLAN

After a slew of successful shows, we're ready to pace ourselves a bit, craft some new songs, and add back some of the older songs that the 3 newer members of the band haven't played yet. We've decide...
