The Jimi Austin

A diversity of backgrounds both musical and geographic is, in part, responsible for the strange brew that the Jimi Austin pours out when they play. The indie-rock foursome, based out of Fort Collins, CO formed in early 2005 and has since been developing their sound & honing in their live show. Democracy within the band has allowed for a nice balance between freedom of expression and common ground. After extensive touring in 2007, The Jimi Austin released a 3 song E.P. entitled "Draw Your Lines". It was recorded live, mixed and mastered in 3 days at The Blasting Room with Jason Livermore. The E.P. has received very positive press:

"Post-punk sneer at its surly finest...incredibly tight and well-produced...the guitar tones are just sick. Catchy melodies, nice cadences, just good shit all around."~John Wenzel, The Denver Post

"... it's clear that the players get what their music should be about and what they want it to sound like...you'll hear ghosts of At the Drive-In, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix in the three songs on this EP, especially in 'Hairspray' and 'Nonsense.' Draw Your Lines moves boldly forward with aggressive atmospherics and fiery, sharp rhythms."~Tom Murphy, The Westword
