Suburban Legends
With a name like this, the group should be very, very good (or at least on the way to being very, very remembered!)
A couple of minutes listening to some samples of SL tunes will convince almost any listener that this band should be a legend in the Orange suburbs and other residential areas around the United States. The group continues its excellent horn line contributions with “All Around The World” (from Infectious 2007). “Win A Date” from the same CD is an example of the youthful exuberance that still lies deep within these accomplished musicians. This is a rock and roll tune, for sure.
Band members include Vince Walker – vocals; Brian Klemm – guitar; Brian Robert son – trombone; Derek Lee Rock – drums; Mike Hacey – bass; Luis Beza – trumpet. Most Suburban Legends fans will know about the Web site note: RIP – Dallas Cook – trombone.
As their Web site states, these California boys realized, in high school, that girls like guys in bands, so they formed a band! But “something went horribly right” for collection of young fellows. This listener would guess part of the reason is the horn section, while another key to success is the good song writing.
Suburban Legends plays some limited dates in California, including a DVD party at the end of February.

Usually when bands get into the music business to meet girls, they end up being just a mediocre type band, but these guys are rockin’ it. “All Around the World” is pretty impressive to say the least. They know what they are doing and have some great upbeat instrumentals going on.
That is pretty funny, about what they realized in high school. What a great reason for starting a band. Not! I think it is great they can take their talents serious and really get down to business. Good for them. The music is definately worth listening to.
Wow, I’m impressed! Not only do these guys have an awesome band name in comparison to some of the odd names in the music business, but their songs are totally rocking! Come Back Home just makes you want to dance around! I’m glad to see that their mission of trying to get girls ended up with quite the fantastic band.
I like the suburban feel which they give as we have already heard some hi-tech bands and hard rock and stuff and there was a need for such sort of fresh music and these guys, I am sure will meet that need.
