Josh Allen & the Whiskey Brothers
Formed in April of 2007, the band's original name -- Josh Allen and the Whisky Dicks – was inspired by their love of whisky - and the unfortunate aftermath of drinking too much of it. After finding that the local paper would not publish any of their show dates due to a certain four letter word appearing in their name, a decision was made to change the name to Josh Allen and the Whisky Brothers. Known as one of the hardest working bands in South Austin, the Band has played over 50 shows in just the first 6 months since they've been together. This grueling schedule has helped the Band build a solid fan base that has been eager for them to record an album. In October of 2007 the Band entered into two 24-hour marathon recording sessions at Music Lane Studios in Austin, Texas. After the 48 hours of recording, at 5:30 in the morning on October 11th, they emerged with the rough mixes of their first album: "Welcome to the Rockhouse." Heavy on guitar solos and an "honest, live" sound, "Welcome to the RockHouse" is the studio translation of a typical Whisky Brothers live show - and it's some damn good Rocknroll. "Welcome to the Rockhouse" released on: May 3rd 2008 at Momo's and can be found online and on iTunes. Josh Allen and the Whisky Brothers play real Rock and Roll music rooted in the Blues. They are Austin Rocknroll. They play solid, original songs that make you want to dance, with smart, fresh lyrics that will hit home with audiences young and old alike. Rock & Blues - We call it "Austin Rock"
