Former members of altaRego come together to invent an infectious electro/analog sound that transcends music boundaries and brings that energy to the stage. Both an artist and producer, C-leb writes and co-develops the songs with A-Bro (formerly of altaRego) to mix the music live. Seeking to develop a style that would ignite the crowd and combine the club with the rock venue, C-Leb uses bass driven electro-house sounds with analog guitars (Adrian formerly of The Glasses), samples and live vocals (Bee Simonds) to bring the "BOOM" to every show.
"Their sound fit the moment: edgy and energetic with a touch of dark to it. Perfect for the halloween bash and getting me and my friends out on the dance floor."
-Jules - nwmusicblog.com
"I feel like this would all go over better in a town like Miami or LA, it just seemed totally out of place here at the High Dive."

"First off, at Salmon Bay Eagles (all ages), C-Leb and A-Bro, started things off with very stirring techno-rock/pop - entertaining as hell. Caleb has an awesome voice and really plays a mean harmonica, but Connie’s (Bee Simonds) voice really blew me away."
JanKeira Knox (The Jet City Redhead) on REVERBfest
"They have a really great uptempo retro electronica sound -- maybe Beck meets early Depeche Mode -- but there's no way you are pinning them down that easily."
-Keith- ballardite blog
"Electro-beat swooner turned Seattle Subsonic blogger C-Leb (that’s called ‘full disclosure’) has teamed up with his pal A-Bro in crafting Broke Downtown, a dj-inspired, mid-tempo dance record with slick beats, funky jabs, sly vocals, and soaring back-up pipes (courtesy of local singer/songwriter Bee Simonds, also on this bill). Add in some new-wave synth, house bass and scratchy guitar, and it might just latch on to your spongey little brain. Think of a happier Depeche Mode or a funkier Pet Shop Boys joining forces with contemporary spacegazers Starfucker and the Postal Service.

Here's a review of the band from the infamous Dennis Cook of Jambase.com: A touch too punchy to make the morning offerings, I stumbled in and got WOKE THE FUCK UP by Big High, a local hard rock ensemble and friends to Flowmotion that struck a first impression akin to my first mind-blowing Drunk Horse gig. Like Oakland's steel-plated punk-boogie juggernaut, Big High aren't screwing around and it wasn't a whole tune before I was shaking like a madman close to the stage. Killer tunes, a crazy tight band and a lead singer (Mesa on "vocal flyfishing") possessed of a fathomless bottom and high reachin' top end plus a leaping, fiercely engaging stage presence, and well Big High sorta rocked my widdle world. It's serious heavy muscle that puts a lil' anger and sex in your bloodstream, culminating in a frighteningly good cover of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" delivered in Dr. John style feather masks for no good reason except to be delightfully weird. If you're feeling Clutch, Parlor Mob or just dig quality hard rock you're missing out if you don't get to know Big High. At the end of their set I bellowed, quite uncontrollably, "We're awake now, motherfuckers!" Meant it, too. -- Dennis Cook--www.jambase.com www.myspace.com/bighighmusic BIG HIGH is also on facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/BIG-HIGH/134022157365?ref=nf High Dive www.highdiveseattle.com 513 N 36th St # G Seattle, WA 98103-8693 (206) 632-0212 &
