An accomplishment and testimony to the fact that a biologist, a photographer, and DJ have forged their own distinct sound through their honest approach.Starting out as neighborhood friends in San Diego in 2006, The Sea of Cortez quickly caught attention when Billabong selected their song "Mystified" as the opening song for a surf DVD distributed world wide in Surfer Magazine. This was quickly followed up by a self-titled, six song EP in the fall of 2007, praised for its "soaring guitars and lonely lyrics evoking the sound of John Lennon's solo work" by Yesterday Magazine. The EP release was followed up by shows in San Diego, Los Angeles, and a 2008 spring tour of the Southwest. The end of the summer culminated in a high profile show opening for the Burning Brides and Nico Vega at the Blender/Mini Cooper Music Festival at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. At the end of 2008, The Sea Of Cortez relocated to Los Angeles, where they built their own studio, and began writing and recording songs for their next project. After nearly a year, the band has emerged from the studio with an ambitious thirteen track album, "Make It Sound", mixed by Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Erase Errata) at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco, and slated for release in 2010. The multi-layered sounds of The Sea of Cortez are an homage to classic and modern rock that pushes boundaries. Widely varied influences can be heard, including acts like Animal Collective, The Beach Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Guided by Voices, and Broken Social Scene. The Sea Of Cortez is: Christian Thomas, Donald Eley, Thomas Vincent, Tiger Smith, & Trevor Armstrong//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////For more information regarding bookings, press and general band inquiries please email management - iam.karenhart_gmail.com -C O N T A C T
