THE BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR
The Bright Light Social Hour is an American rock band from Austin, Texas. Born out of a university art-rock collective, the band first gained attention in Austin from their incendiary live performances and innovative vision of rock and roll. Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues, and deep soul, their debut full-length album led to heightening critical acclaim, national touring, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. Following their album release, The Bright Light Social Hour have embarked on a heavy touring rotation, playing over two hundred shows throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They performed in front of thousands of new fans at SXSW and Canadian Music Week and will spend the remainder of 2012 touring North America, including festival plays at Wakarusa, Bear Creek Music Fest and Ottawa Bluesfest. Chronicling their adventures, the band has released a series of self-produced tour documentaries depicting their life on the road. The Bright Light Social Hour is currently writing new material for a second full-length album with plans to return to the studio in 2013.
