Originally founded in North Carolina by lead singer and songwriter Anthony Watkins II and later joined by bassist Tim Shelburne, Jr., Mobley took its current shape during the summer of 2008. A cross-country move and seven months of practice and preparation later, they're hard at work trying to prove themselves as one of Austin's most promising young bands.
The songs draw from a wealth of influences, often tied together with only as much thread as is necessary for coherence. What results is a repertoire that, by virtue of its diversity, truly transports the listener. Nowhere is this fact more clear than when you see the band live. It's a set composed of contrasting moods and moments: an anthemic blitz of guitars and wired synths; a falsetto croon slinking out over drum-bass groove straight out of '73; a music box lullaby bursting into chamber pop or keening alt-country or glitzy dance-rock. All of these sounds are complemented by a stunning video/light component and performed by musicians that command the stage with a presence that belies their youth and a vigor that doesn't.
Mobley's debut release, the 2/3 EP is available for purchase at
iTunes,
Napster,
Rhapsody,
Amazon, &
eMusic.

Hello!
preciate it amigo, things are well, working on the full length. i hope the austin scene is looking good for you guys, rock hard.
--Awwwlll, Anthony, seeing your comment brought a smile to my face and a wispy tear, ...though I'm thrilled for the opps that relocating will bring!
Chapel Hill's keeping me fine and happy with a stable base of indie-music tradition, washed by the constant changes that keep things fresh and invigorated, ...which means it's much the same as usual!
DO let me know if some Mobley vids pop up; i'll want to see them for sure. Love to you all!
-Missing you madly here in North Carolina, and wishing you great times in Texas!

Wishing you all the best in Austin, and looking to see you hitting the charts any time now! We miss you and still wear your Mowgli t-shirts!
