I will be e-mailing out the bands' info every time I update it on MySpace, so that even if you try, you can't miss it. Please take a minute to check out their music and please let me know what you think!

WHO ARE RESTAURANT?
Restaurant consists of two great former Texans who started as rivals and ended up best friends. Troy (guitar and microphone) and Jonathan (percussion and synth) make music that brings the dirty South to the dance clubs California. Their country/folk upbringing is never lost, but they experiment with a lot of percussion, synth, and electronic beats. They are currently on Narnack Records. Best of all, they give one hell of a show!

"Restaurant debut Full-Length album 'Returns to the Tomb of Guillino Medidicci' will be out in the second quarter of 2008 preceded by a series of four seven-inches in the coming months." - http://narnackrecords.com






WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE RESTAURANT, TOO...
**Both of the guys are handsome as can be!
**You have to give props to homemade drums, I mean, come on.
**They play about a hundred times a month, so you never have to wait long before you can go see them live again.
***Half the time you have no idea what the lyrics are, but you can't stop dancing.


Thanks!
Julia
