Drive A Faster Car Presents: Pistolero, Royal Bangs, What Happened to your Fire, Tiger?
Saturday July 18, 2009 at 9:00pm
The Earl
488 Flat Shoals Ave Se
Atlanta, Georgia 30316 Get Directions
Playing a style of music that can only be described as New American Rock, Pistolero can be compared to Spoon, Wilco, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with a touch of The Who thrown in for good measure. While the influences are many, the music is easily accessible. Its just good music that’s easy to listen to yet growing more complex upon each listen. With five releases in the past two years, including the new full length “Warface”, this four piece has proven that the music in your head can’t be allowed to stay there. Moving easily from a rockin’ summer love song drenched in Atlanta heat and humidity, to an acoustic lullaby for the dead, Pistolero shows their versatility and song writing prowess. After years of playing second hand amps and struggling to find that perfect sound, Pistolero started building their own equipment in early 2006 lead by guitarist and chief technician Tom Pollard . Building off the blueprints of amps like the Fender Black Face or a Sound City combo, Tom has led each member of Pistolero toward a personalized sound. Pistolero has been the host band on Channel Zero - Atlanta’s only Music Video Show - where their single “Endless Summer” was featured. They have also been featured on WRAS 88.5 FM’s “Georgia Music Show, and had a spotlight segment on the nationally televised Mav Music (Mav TV). Pistolero was also invited to play the 2007 SoCo Music Experience at Centennial Olympic Park with Wolfmother.
