Band MembersJulie Lange (vocals), Miguel Fair (bass), Kell Curtis (guitar), Matt Thompson(drums), Taylor Tatsch (guitar), Eric Jenkins (producer / keyboards)

The female fronted pop/rock band - The Bright - officially formed in 2005 (formerly known as Superstring) in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX by vocalist Julie Lange, bassist Miguel Fair and guitarist Kell Curtis. After releasing a full-length album in late 2005 (By All Means) they were joined by guitarist Taylor Tatsch, drummer Cooper Heffley and producer/keyboardist Eric Jenkins. With an award winning HD music video (entitled “If You Want It”), a debut album, extensive shows under their belt and a tour of the west coast in late 2007, the band went to work on another full-length release entitled “In Lucid Dreams”. After pre-releasing several songs from the album as an EP (“Pull Me Apart”) for the 2007 summer tour, the band felt the new name was more reflective of the new music.

Described as “Beautiful, stylish stuff that just might infiltrate your daydreams” by the Fort Worth Star Telegram and “that strange collective with a penchant for writing the most radio-friendly songs this side of LA – we mean that in a good way,” by the Dallas Observer, The Bright’s sound is influenced by 80’s new wave and synth pop, 90’s Brit and dream pop, yet always guitar driven with even a dash of 70’s British rock. To be referred to as a “collective” is a fitting description. It has a feel of being more than just a band with a couple of key songwriters and the rest merely performers. Each member of The Bright brings accomplished songwriting skills adding individual thumbprints to every song.

The singles “Cemetery Street”, “I’ve Got a Feeling” and “Almost Maybe”, from their full-length album “In Lucid Dreams”, have been prominently featured in MTV’s wildly popular reality show “The Hills”. The album also includes an epic cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”. “In Lucid Dreams” was recorded at Bass Propulsion Labs in Dallas, TX and was produced by Eric Jenkins, engineered by Eric Jenkins and Taylor Tatsch and is available for download on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster and Amazon.

PRESS AND QUOTES:

"The Bright’s Mix of alt-rock edge with power pop grandeur and charismatic vocalist Julie Lange is a winning formula. The production value here is superb. The band’s cover of “Kashmir” is epic." - esdmusic.com, Best Albums of 2008 / CD Review

“This Dallas-based band is making waves with dynamic vocalist Julie Lange singing out over a modern-rock sound that combines an alternative edge with a power-pop sensibility. The boys in the Bright serve up a diverse array of guitar-driven sonic landscapes for Lange to work with, making for an album that is uniformly strong throughout.” - - "In Lucid Dreams" CD Review from Greg M. Schwartz of the San Antonio Current

“Beautiful, stylish stuff that just might infiltrate your daydreams” - - Preston Jones, Fort Worth Star Telegram

“One of the truly dynamic local bands with a shot at crossover popularity without giving any quarter.” - - Justin Press, Dallas Observer

“The Bright is on the edge of something fantastic and people are taking notice and showing support. With no weak spots on this CD, The Bright has earned a rare 10". - - “In Lucid Dreams” CD Review from Iceberg of Renegaderadio.net

“That strange collective with a penchant for writing the most radio-friendly songs this side of LA, we mean that in a good way” - - Dallas Observer

“An estrogen and testosterone musical smoothie” - - Gordon Keith, WFAA Ch. 8’s The Gordon Keith Show

“When something seems meant-to-be, things just sort of fall into place and happen when needed. This is the case for the Dallas-based pop rock band, The Bright.” - - Kaiya Morrison, LSU Tiger Weekly

Hmm, so if I put: (The Bright), at the end of my myspace name, does that give me a spot on your top friends with the rest of the members even though I'm not a member?

Hahaha.
I'm kidding.
I thought it was funny. >.<;;

Anyways, can't wait until October 3rd. two days is a long wait for me. D:
