1000 Lbs of Sound was formed in Amarillo, TX in the spring of 2005. Guitarist Alan Gill, drummer Lee Perez and bassist Jason Riggs come together bringing their devotion to music to create something unique and powerful. Their various heavy, trippy, groove, blues styles mesh so well together that you can’t label them with any one genre. The driving sound, intense rhythm, on the spot beats and dual vocalists of the Pounds makes for an incredibly enjoyable live show that keeps the audience hooked from the first notes. The passion and drive that these three musicians share show that they’re ready for the road ahead and will let nothing compromise the vision for their lives. The band’s debut album Heavy, was released independently in August of 2006, followed by a 12 date west coast tour. Three of the tracks on the album were recorded, edited, mixed and produced by the band. The other tracks were recorded at A.M.P. Studios in Amarillo. All but two of the tracks have been on independent films that Gill was the director of photography for. The No. 2 was recorded in Olympia, WA in September of ’06. This sophomore effort shows the band’s growth by leaps and bounds.
