Search - 80 Proof Band :: 80 Proof Band: Shadows

The 80 Proof Band first joined the ranks of the Texas Music scene, with the release of the debut, full-length album Tuesday s at 7 (Smith Entertainment). The album s first two radio singles, the riotous sing-along One Señorita, Two Margaritas, and the heart-wrenching, self-doubter s ballad Maybe each reached the Top 20 on the Texas Music Charts, the Texas Regional Radio Chart, and the #1 position on San Diego s Independent Music Network Chart. A third song from the hit-stained record, I m Alright was featured in Lonestar Music s Sampler CD in 2008.
In early 2010, 80 Proof hit the studio with a batch of new material and a new rhythm section: drummer DaWayne Gaspard of Abbeville, Lousiana, and bassist Caleb Hooper of Stephenville, Texas. The result is SHADOWS, a new album loaded with 11 songs of earnest emotion and funky, feel-good grooves. L.D. Whitehead, lead singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist said about the up-coming album, As a band we ve been waiting in the shadows of this music scene, and I feel that this record is really going to be our stepping-out.
