   About The Rules
The Rules were created by Todd Elliott and Carlos DeSoto. They produced, composed and recorded everything on their debut Floppy Disk CD. After they released the record, they got their good buddies Chris Medico (AKA Tad Nugets) and Anthony Cole to play with them. Todd also plays in The Tel Aviv Bats.
The Rules newest record is titled "Important Information".

UPDATE: The Rules are knee deep in the recording process. The new record is going to be their best yet. Stay tuned for sound teasers and new show dates.

Thanks Team Rules: Polyvibe, Cara Higgins (graphic design), Holly Tavel (graphic design, co-writting "Under Prussia"), Eddie Rendini (mixing and audio), Marina Williams (photography), Ken Aguilar (lyrics)


The Rules are also available for weddings, funerals, barmitzvahs, batmitzvahs, corporate events, birthday parties, anniversaries, baby showers, holiday events, divorces, conventions, talk shows, interviews, cameos, music videos, record signings. Please contact carlosdesoto@gmail.com for more information

Hi !

I’m just sending a little message around as we have a question and we want to ask our friends for input.

We cannot decide whether to release the Album in late May or June. We plan to tour from mid May and the argument is that if we release in June we can tie the release into the fan build from the tour, but it might get squashed with all the Summer and festival releases, however, if we release in May it might have less competition but we won’t have the tour working yet to promote it.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinion on this.

On Saturday, February 21st Orlando's art community is going to reconverge under one roof to create art inspired by the live music of some of Central Florida's finest musicians. Relax with a glass of wine or a nice cold beer and take it all in as the artists draw inspiration from each other to play, paint, and create before your eyes.
Hungry? Pom Poms Teahouse will be on hand with some of their best selling sandwiches and sides, true works of art.
Redecorating? Everything being created can be purchased! Feel free to place a bid on your favorite pieces! Whatever your mood, Orlandos Art Fusion VI is sure to deliver.
