Instead of the usual boring band bio, we'll just tell you that A Fight to the Death is Avant-Western-Americana-Gypsy music built with Latin and Mediterranean rhythms, surf twang, and melodies fit for lonely midnight drives through the desert.


Here is a series of random facts about AFTTD:

1. Daniel tends to brink good beer to rehearsal, whereas the rest of us usually arrive with PBR or High Life cans.
2. Whenever we record part of a rehearsal, the video camera always ends up being pointed at Daniel. As a result, we have dozens of low-budget music videos for our songs, all starring only Daniel and occasionally George's back.
3. Mark recently flipped over his bike's handlebars and broke his clavicle and a rib.
4. We wear shirts and ties on stage because A) we're gentlemen; B) classy attire does not go out of style; and C) ZZTop tells the truth: ladies go crazy for a sharp-dressed man.
5. At a recent show, our opening act was a panel discussion and Q&A session regarding organic farming.
6. We'll be recording our second record in the fall of 2009.
7. Our hometown of Atlanta is currently making us very proud musically - go team.
8. Nathan doesn't believe in vegetables - not even pickles. Don't ever tell him that french fries come from potatoes (shhhh...).
9. George knows more than you do about axe handles.
10. We rehearse in a big metal barn. Seriously.
11. CJ thinks that two of the worst things in the world are pleated pants and ironic trucker hats.


The press says:

"...an array of accordions, honky-tonk pianos, and Romanian rhythms, sun-stroked telecasters supply the album's cinematic ether, electing the group as the most likely candidate to have scored the notoriously soundtrack-barren No Country for Old Men. A sepia-toned album of stark confrontations, Afttd sees itself through to its own bittersweet conclusions, and despite the band's Atlanta home-base, A Fight to the Death's cosmopolitan sound should guarantee it enough ammunition to nourish its internationally-sized ambitions." - Flagpole Athens, 9/24/08

"AFTTD sees Bargamain's gorgeous songwriting surrounded by a very talented band that seems to compliment him perfectly and results in a tasty flavour of nu-Americana." - OhmPark.org, 10/07/08

"...A Fight to the Death crafts epic, filmic Morricone-esque pop scores..." - Creative Loafing, 9/01/08
