PISTOL OPERA is the sonic partnership of Eli Braden and Toby Semain, two amazingly talented dudes who have lived and breathed music since they were old enough to play tennis rackets in a mirror. ------------------------------------------------------------ Pistol Opera's intense, melodic rock seamlessly fuses musical influence from the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, the Stooges, Cheap Trick, early Van Halen, Stone Temple Pilots, and Foo Fighters. Lyrically, Pistol Opera set themselves apart from typical rock 'n' roll dumb-dumbs with a clever and humorous intelligence a la Morrissey and Eminem. ------------------------------------------------------------ Frustrated by a world where most albums feature only two or three decent tunes at best, Pistol Opera are ALL about the songs. Braden and Semain work their asses off to ensure every track off the P.O. assembly line meets rigorous performance standards. Can you run a marathon in record time to the rockers? Can you have the best sex of your life to the soaring anthems? How damp is the average pair of panties as one of their elegant ballads ends? These are the kinds of tough questions Pistol Opera pose to themselves during the forging of each and every musical nugget. ------------------------------------------------------------ L.A.-based Braden and Semain write, record, and produce their music almost completely on their own. The pair shares creative input on song structures, chord changes, melodies, and what to have for lunch. Braden is the singer (and bassist), and handles the bulk of the lyrics. Semain is a phenomenal guitarist AND drummer (although not at the same time); he also engineers and produces the band's recordings. Band friend Mike Stromsoe expertly mixes the finished product. ------------------------------------------------------------ Pistol Opera released their self-titled debut in 2007. Songs from the album appeared on ABC and PBS, in a feature film, and in several other less-impressive media. Two of the tracks reached the Top 4 in consecutive sessions of the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest ('07 and '08). Mike Smith (star of Canada's hit TV comedy "Trailer Park Boys") loved their album so much he flew the band 3,600 miles at his own expense to Halifax, Nova Scotia to play at his popular nightclub "Bubbles' Mansion." No doot they had a good time, eh? ------------------------------------------------------------ Pistol Opera are currently recording their next two albums simultaneously, both of which they hope to have out before the end of 2008 (or at least before Guns n' Roses release "Chinese Democracy.")

I know this is a lot to ask from you as my friend but, I would like to ask all my friends and their friends to ask all their friends to add us as a friend.
My thinking is that as many we all can do more. Our food program is in need of a tractor and our country has many Hungry Americans. When they are more of us doing a little... there is LOTS we can do to Help Our Fellow Americans. Besides... it could be one of us next to have to deal with Hunger! When many do a little... there's not such a burden on just a few.
Could you help us in getting the word out to all your friends and Help Us Help Feed the Hungry Americans in Need? Ask them to visit our MySpace page to view our information provided and choose for themselves if they would like to add us.
Thank You in Advance for Your Support and Your Valuable time!
