Pistolita

Hard work and catchy songwriting have earned the San Diego-based band Pistolita a lot of opportunities early in their career. With the melodic sense of Elton John and Ben Folds Five and the fury of At The Drive-in and Rocket From The Crypt, Pistolita have created their own brand of catchy, indie rock. Together for less than a year and forming while still in high school, the band has been building a devoted, loyal following across the country, having already completed three West coast tours across California, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Nevada.

A strong work ethic and a solid street team in place has paid off for Pistolita, earning them tour dates on Vans Warped Tour and sharing the stage with bands such as MxPx, Noise Ratchet, The Bronx, Letter Kills, Horse The Band, Yesterday’s Rising, Cartel and countless others. In addition, the band was also included on the compilation CD Pick Your Battles, Volume 1 (Royal Crest Records), along with Denver Harbor, Underoath, Noise Ratchet, The Juliana Theory and Anberlin.

With the release of a new EP that was recorded in Los Angeles and Produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive-in, Mars Volta, The Locust, Brazil) and recently up for Best New Artist at the San Diego Music Awards, Pistolita continues to prove themselves as a career oriented band. Touring non-stop in 2005, Pistolita will continue to make an impression this next year ahead and beyond.
