The 454's are a Los Angeles based rockabilly band that has been a performing since 2004. Since the start, they made it a point to do what they could to stand apart from the seemingly endless bands out there today. With some of the most exciting and fun inducing performances of any band in the area, the 454's have done just that! In the beginning, the band started off as a traditional rockabilly band, but various influences soon became apparent and made their way into the song writing and performances. The 454's have fused together their original rockabilly sound with a mix of Spanish Rock, 80's New Wave, Latin Cumbia, and traditional Mexican music. This "human highlight reel" is known for being the life of the party and always leaving their fans wanting more! The 454's are honored to be officially endorsed by Gretsch guitars. The guys are also hard at work putting the finishing touches to their first full length CD which will be available for sale summer 2009.
