Muchos Backflips
"Since 2005, this self-proclaimed "Adventure Rock" band has been pushing the boundaries of the Austin, TX music scene. Muchos Backflips! adds a modern twist to such genres as classical, jazz, and metal."
-Daniela Garcia - Nu Magazine
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Lubbock, Texas, best known to many as the home to Texas Tech University, is also the hometown to many a country musician. But Winston Barrett can tell you that Lubbock wasn’t quite the ideal place for his experimental rock project, then known as Watermelonfastbass. So the band made its way to Austin in 2003 in search of a bigger music market, added a much needed bass player (Brendan Vlass), threw in an alto sax player (Jason Amador), as well as a change of name and Muchos Backflips! was born.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Indeed! That's the only way to see this band! Our most notable shows would have to be SXSW 2010 in Austin, TX, Dfest 2009 in Tulsa, OK, and NXNE 2008 in Toronto, ON, CA.
