Short Bio:
Eisley: Considered an indie on a major. Formed in 1997 in their bedroom after youngest sibling wrote their first song at 8, performed first show in '98, grow in local coffee house/rock venue, played 100's of shows as unsigned indie for 4 years ('98 - '02) in Texas, found and audience in Deep Ellum with Dallas, TX fans where label scouts sent rep's to see the band live > showcasing in LA/NY > Eisley signed w/ Warner Bros. 2 EP's + 2 Full Lengths (+ several B-side) later, Eisley's steady growth and credibility as writers / performers comes from the live side (touring). The band's undaunted commitment to their own unique, visually imaginative brand has, perhaps, curbed access to mass homogenized portals such as FM radio, though, single - "Telescope Eyes" charted on Dallas rock radio (102.1 The Edge) as 24th most played song in 2003. Indifferent to industry boundaries / conventions, Eisley continues their expansion (invasion :-) centered around adherence to the their own creative style, devotion to song-crafting, commitment to on-line (relational, tangible) marketing, and an unquenchable passion for touring. Past tours include: Coldplay (Rush of BTH US/Canada tour), Brand New (Deja Entendu Tour), Snow Patrol (Final Straw Tour), Yahoo Sponsored Eisley headlining tour, New Found Glory (Catalyst Tour - 60 shows), Switchfoot (Nothing is Sound Tour), Taking Back Sunday (Louder Now Tour - Aus/UK), The Fray (How to Save a Life Tour), Mute Math (Reset Tour), plus TONS of Eisley headlining tours (Spring '08 "Combinations" tour) and festivals: Coachella, V-Fest (UK), Voo- Doo Fest, Reading and Leeds Festivals - UK. Eisley made their TV debut on Conan O'brien in August '07. Eisley is currently writing songs for record 3.

Sounds Like"INVASION"



----------------------------------------------------------------------- Indie Rock, (on a major; but that's just a style vs status issue). Emotional but not Emo (stop saying emo). Pop but not so popular (Warhol did pop in a commercial way. Rauchenberg did pop in fine art way). Soul-ful but not Soul,Dream-pop, but not a Dreamsicle (well, maybe... if dark chocolate replaced the vanilla interior). Alt (because AP magazine says so.) but not alternative...Maybe if the Fathers of "Alt" endorsed it, but Stipe or Cobaine will never agree. Haunting but not in an evil way; not like a scary, scary clown. Folkish (sometimes) but not country. Catchy - like when you catchy a fishy. Moody but not e-winey. Melodic - yes.very. Rock but take it out of the rock-tumbler after only 3 days (more than that and they get too polished. some disagree. we like guitars in tune and all that shizzle)Radio Rock? Not so far; the machine says they're not "broad" enuf' lyrically, so maybe that's good; Radio = dumbie downio. sorry, but eisley's music does not compare to the man-rock drawl that dominates the current dying, radio regime (dominion?).College Radio? - yes. Web Radio? - yes. Some Serius and XM. Modern Rock? - hmmm... Modern Art began late 1800's and ended in the 1970's; Music and art are typically joint manifesto's. Organic: yes, but if an organ - a heart (aww...). Punk Rock? not, because yesterday, a punk rock fan left a message saying, "your music sucks, eat s___ and die"... nevertheless, it seems that the pop part of punk resonates w/ lots of pop-punkers.


Sounds like: a deep woods troll (a kind one; not mean) who was kicked out of his evil hovel (insubordination)... and, while wandering about the forest floor, he stumbled upon the one and only Elf tree (Keebler) in the thick, dark enchantment. He knocked and knocked, and finally heard a shout from above:"hey...don't you know there are grizzly's out there?" and just threw him a mint chocolate cookie. After eating the cookie, the Troll felt safe...so he sojourned on - deep, deep into the forest where he wallowed out a beautiful little home (a pine bed for slumbering); but rest assured, he always kept his GrizBlade 6000 zirconium coated machete blade beside him...just in case ole' Grizz' came a paw-flashin' in the night. "With lightbulbs in our pockets, we light the darkened forest".


.."282a20">INDUSTRY REVIEWS:

Entertainment Weekly Review "...the DuPree kids expand their sound - contrasting soaring, Radiohead-aping vocals with big-bottomed prog-rock grooves." - Kerrang London, England. "The girls' voices are as angelic as they are disturbing, pitch perfect - amazingly so, in fact - but their harmonies full of spectral sorrow and deep-rooted despair" - Texas Monthly "Combinations: is album two, and it's the proverbial time to deliver. That they do..." - Spin Magazine "Remember the '70s? Neither do they (eisley), but that doesn't stop 'em." Throughout Combinations, the DuPree sisters augment the slow-moving indie pop of their 2005 debut full-length with dramatic prog-guitar lines and shades of Fleetwood Mac's warm soft-rock glow." - Pop Matters "The album proves Eisley to be masters of melody, strong lyricists, and capable of evoking a whole combination of emotions." -Boston Globe Review "...Eisley is a darker and more aggressive than ever before..." -AP Magazine "Lone Star's plaintive pop stars muscle up, but stay lovely." -Houston Chronicle "...dirgelike lyricism against thrashing instrumentation that could fill an arena." -Absolute Punk.net "...Combinations proves to be their best work to date. ...Combinations proves to be the perfect end of summer/beginning of fall album. "

People Magazine "The best song, "Ten Cent Blues," could easily pass as a track from Rumours..."



Entertainment Weekly Review "...the DuPree kids expand their sound - contrasting soaring, Radiohead-aping vocals with big-bottomed prog-rock grooves."





Filter Magazine Clip "An inteview in NYC. See clips from acoustic show at Joe's Pub."

MSNBC.com picks Combinations in Top 5 Albums of the Year 2007.
> CHECK IT OUT< It's hard to get support from huge .com giants without radio support but I think this mass-stream vote of confidence proves that Eisley's ability to grab hearts and minds beyond parochial boundaries (like radio) is evident. Please >VOTE!! < so we'll have some fan credibility on this short list of pop-familiar artists.


BUY "Like The Actors - digital EP"
RELEASED ON ITUNES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15TH - This is the most beautiful b-sides eisley has offered to date (in my opinion). Here's a preview for tomorrow's debut:

Eisley's '07 Year's End Clip We fixed the link. Seems that WB's falling out with YouTube killed the video stars. All of our video's on YouTube are dead and gone. No big loss :-)


Ridiculous questions from the label required ridiculous answers. Happy Holidays! "Wupdy-crap". :-)




Eisley was blasted into 1.5 million homes. The mix wasn't so great but, meh...par for late night TV. It was a blast.


SIGN UP FOR EISLEY'S E-BLAST. We rarely blast but if we do, well... you really don't want to miss the explosion.



In case some of you aren't signed up - here's the e-blast we just sent out. Most aren't this long. It's been a long time since we blasted. Thnx.

When your profile is asleep, we launch an Invasion.
We could make jillions of these things like other bands, but... it seems overkill. You either like the music or not.




Insiders:



"Laughing City" is Eisley's Forum for anyone interested in an insiders view. Community happens at many levels. Myspace is more like the super-highway. This profile is like a billboard. Eisley.com is more - the neighborhood, our forum - Laughing City is the culdesak where friends hang out. And there's even one level below that.





And "Trolleywood" is... more like the house. A personal dialogue with explicit up-to-date scoop and video /photo history of all tours/journals including current "making of Album 2" by me, an insider. Also journals from the actual band. They're bad, but sometimes they post.




Sorry. This page got way too fat photos. Here's an anchient
page with all those images... just in case any of you were sad I took it down:
