Listening to Oklahoma City rock band Aranda is something like hearing an explosive hybrid of the atom bomb and all of Woodstock combined. They are an experience.
Brothers Dameon and Gabe Aranda have been writing, playing, and singing music together since they were kids, and even at a young age, they knew that music was going to be a major part of their lives. Dameon grew up to work with Grammy-nominated producers Sam Watters, Louis Biancaniello, and Mark Ronson. After years of playing shows all over the country and working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, 2009 is seeing them finally get their due.
2009 saw Aranda’s first single, “Still in the Dark,” climb into the Top 30 in rock radio across the country, and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson decided to cover two of the band’s songs on her newest album, All I Ever Wanted.
One of the songs she covered, “Whyyawannabringmedown,” is Aranda’s follow-up single to “Still in the Dark.” The high-energy song is an in-your-face rebellion, and was selected by the WWE as the official theme song of their event The Bash.
Aranda recently released a deluxe edition of their 2008 self-titled debut album, which includes live tracks and a radio mix of “Whyyawannabringmedown.”
Additionally, Aranda just launched a huge summer tour with Kentucky rockers Tantric. Dameon and Gabe are no strangers to sharing the stage with big names in rock: during the past year, they have performed with hit bands such as the All American Rejects, Saliva, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, and Black Stone Cherry. With the brothers’ flawless harmonies and passionate onstage performances, Aranda is a live show you’ll never forget.
“We want to create high energy, keep rocking, keep everybody entertained. We want to involve the audience and make it fun for them,” guitarist Dameon says. “Our hope is that you’ll keep coming back for more.”
Anyone going to the Wormy Dog tonight?? I've got tickets at "Will Call" that I can't use, due to the stupid blizzard in OK!! Hit me up, and I'll give you the information. I'd like to see someone use the tickets, even if I can't go. Only one catch!! You MUST give Dameon and Gabe a message from me. That's it!!

Awesome news about the homeshow the day after Christmas! Thanks for posting the evite bulletin. Surprisingly, I've heard from a few people in Oklahoma that were unaware of the show. Hopefully now everyone knows that THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!! SWEET!!
Our Little one sure is a Fan! She dedicated this to you Gabe and Dameon for Christmas. We all miss you very much! We want to wish you and yours and those precious little ones a Merry Christmas, good health, and safe travels.
If you're going to Saturday's show, you may see a couple of awesome gals trying to interview fans on camera. You know, the way people get interviewed after a movie premiere and they tell everyone how fabulous it was? We'd love to do that for Aranda and get it posted on YouTube to spread the word for the guys. So don't be shy! Cheers - Sarah
