BIG BLUE HEARTS
MAKES AUSTIN HOME
AS ITS STOCK RISES
(Austin, Texas) -- The romantic retro-billy band Big Blue
Hearts -- a foursome that takes Fifties' pop crooning and
country-ballad pathos to a higher level, to great critical
review -- has relocated to Austin, and already the band's
first single from its latest release is climbing The Texas
Music Chart.
"Lovin' You," from HERE COME THOSE DREAMS AGAIN (Eagle Eye
Records), Big Blue Hearts' second album (and first
independently produced release), continues to climb The
Texas Music Chart, reaching #12 on the most recent December
chart. Country Music Television.com is featuring the video
of the cut -- set against a landmark tour of Hollywood -- on
its "New Voices No Cover" feature.
Big Blue Hearts has been touring continuously since DREAMS
was released in August, and the band's been sharing bills
with the likes of Hootie & the Blowfish and Collective Soul,
like it did for the Mix 102.9 KDMX-FM's "Holiday at the Hard
Rock" charity event in Dallas.
The first of the band's gigs with Austin rocker Bob
Schneider at Austin's Saxon Pub is set for Jan. 23, 2006.
Before that, however, Big Blue Hearts plays shows with big
Texas "countrybilly" combo Two Tons of Steel -- January 5 at
The Black Gold Bar & Grill in Crowley and January 12 at
Firewater Bar & Grill in Dallas -- and the unique styles of
each ought to complement the other's in a startling and
pleasing way.
Big Blue Hearts is frontman David Fisher on lead vocals and
rhythm guitar, Scott Minchk on lead guitar and vocals, J.B.
Burton on bass and vocals, and Greg Sobol on drums and
vocals.
In Fisher's voice it's like he's channeling musical essences
of Dwight Yoakum, Chris Isaak, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison,
Elvis and The Everly Brothers -- kind of like how nuances
complicate a rich and flavorful wine. Sobol's drums add the
classic country beat, Minchk the twang of the country guitar
and Burton the fullness of the strum.
Says Robert K. Oermann, the DISClaimer at Music Row, of the
"Lovin' You" single: Big Blue Hearts "has a crisp, pop
approach and the catchy tunes to back it up. This is the
first single and lead-off tune of a CD called HERE COME
THOSE DREAMS AGAIN that contains 10 of the juiciest songs
I've heard since the glory days of Crowded House. Think
Chris Isaak/Roy Orbison with a little more twang."

Thursday, December 15, Hard Rock Cafe, Dallas
Thursday, December 29, Firewater Bar & Grill, Dallas
Saturday, December 31, Texas Grand, Beeville, Texas
Thursday, January 5, The Black Gold Bar, Crowley, Texas
