About Me |
|
Born in the backyards and dive bars of northern California, Cuesta Drive is a laid back, genre-shifting band, attacking the west coast with their visceral live shows, and cool, calculated albums. Yielding comparisons to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Santana, The Police, and Tower of Power, Cuesta Drive’s sound is tough to categorize, but undeniably infectious. Tag-team vocalists Dane Drewis and Mike Camilleri, easily leapfrog between soaring rock vibrato, sweet soul harmonies, and whiskey-tinged blues phrasing within the same set (if not the same song) while Tim Diedesch’s uncompromising bass playing bridges the gap between 70s Funk and Jack-hammering rock . When combined with dual guitars, searing solos, and an unmatched rhythm section, the overall sound of a Cuesta Drive show is impressive to say the least. Drewis (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Camilleri ( Rhythm Guitar, Percussion, Vocals), and Diedesch (Bass) are joined on-stage by a constantly changing parade of musicians ranging from full horn sections, to live DJs and Emcees, making each performance a brand new experience. In early 2009, Cuesta Drive released their sophomore album, Distractions, to a raucous acclaim. The release shows broke Sacramento bar records, and garnered staggering reviews. Distractions’ first single, "Everything," is getting airplay on many of California’s top radio stations and receiving plaudits from listeners old and young alike. With a loyal and steadily expanding fan base, a pending west coast tour, and work beginning on a follow-up album, Cuesta Drive proves to be one of California’s hardest working, most compelling, up-and coming bands.
