Travis Tighe. Zach Wallace. Dakota Dobbin. Ezra Danley. If those four names don’t ring any bells, don’t worry it’s ok. This fantastic foursome may not be a household name yet, but get ready because they soon will be and you can brag to all your friends of how you heard of them before anyone else did. And trust us, there will be a lot of bragging to go around.
Hailing from Santa Barbra, CA, the Windmill Vandals! is a group of four guys who’ve set out to make their mark in the music world. With their current line up forming back in April of 2009, the boys can’t get enough of the high and adrenaline rush they get from the roar of the crowd and know you won’t be able to get enough of their music.
Influenced by The White Stripes, Wolfmother and anything Jack White or Josh Homme lay their musical genius hand on, the Windmill Vandals! take this inspiration and crank out tunes that sound ike nothing that’s come before them. They’re all about making music. For these four, music is all about being unique and doing something completely the way that you want it.
Currently, the Windmill Vandals! are working on their first full length album, entitled “For You and Your Bones.” They’re diligently writing, playing and tweaking it to get the best album out there and hope to have it finished by the end of the year.
Most recently, the gang had their song, “Slow Motion,” featured on the premier episode of the hit HBO show Entourage this past June. It’s a milestone for the band, and proof that they are making a break into the music world. You don’t want to miss out on it.
As you all are anxiously awaiting the release of this incredible CD, the boys can be seen playing gigs around town, usually at Velvet Jones and Muddy Waters for their fans. It’s for these audiences the boys like to ask, “What’d you expect to hear?” because their set is individually their own, and can’t compare to any other act out there. They are a rare gem in the music industry and a force to be reckoned with.
As for what the future holds for the Windmill Vandals!, only time will tell. But you can be sure that these boys are only going to go up in the world. Take a listen or see them live, because you don’t want to be left behind.
