Southern Backtones

One critic called their music:“Art film lyrics with major motion picture sonic imagery.” Southern Backtones are psychedelic pop rock’s best kept secret. Listening to their brit psycho pop sound you would never know they hail from Texas…but knowing they call Houston home adds an interesting twist.

2007: Their most recent album, simply self-titled Southern Backtones, tracks their emergence into young adulthood: A mellowing of their roots-angst, leaving them ample energy to become who they were from the beginning-psychedelic savants who are constantly at risk of diluting their genius by over thinking their music. Little Known Fact: The songs “Forever” and “Everything” were featured in the indie feature film “Drop Dead Sexy” starrring Jason Lee and Crispin Glover. Little Known Fact: Southern Backtones’ Music Video “Forever” was produced by Zenfilm and has been viewed by audiences around the world with airplay on MTV2 and MuchMusic Canada.

2010: Then new year will herald the release of the Southern Backtones remarkable 4th album “La Vie En Noir” which fuses the best parts of the prior albums with the Backtones mature voodoo-rock sound into a delightful psychedelic patois. La Vie En Noir will be supervised by powerhouse producers Dan Workman (ZZ Top, Smashmouth, Beyonce) and Steve Christensen (Steve Earle and others).

The new album will be released in conjunction with twisted new music videos and will be supported by a heavy performance schedule.
