The El Paso Heist

Travis cut his hair!

About Me

the el paso heist is a four piece band that dwell three strong in the temple-belton are and uno in austin. as far as a bio goes me (lowgain), travis and danny started the band and after about two and a half years of bothering taylor he finally decided to join us on the 14th of march of 08 at the coma lilies show (rip) as of now we are about to start writing some new songs and practicing with taylor so we can make it sound like we actually are a good band....oh yeah and the recordings do not contain any of taylor so dont think he's one of those lame ass keyboardist that you cant even tell is there because he most definitely present and ominous in his craftings of the ivories. so with that you have the band pretty much in a nutshell, STOP BY AGAIN MUSIC LOVER.
