Offering one of the most mesmerizing live performances in music today, THe BAcksliders have managed to blast on to the scene combining the best elements of rock & roll,soul and pop. Formed in late 2005, THe BAcksliders wasted no time in self-releasing a full-length album, which has quickly sold regionally, and a 7� released December 2006. Led by Kim Pendleton (formerly of Polygram recording artist Vibrolux) and husband Chris Bonner (Sons of Sound). THe BAcksliders songwriting reflects both their environment and relationship borrowing from such elements as Memphis soul, rock and roll,and pop. Backed by Chris' brother Jason Bonner (The Vain) on bass and Taylor Young (Young Heart Attack, Polyphonic Spree) on drums. The band has played over a 150 gigs in the last 2 years and filmed a live DVD-Live at the Double-Wide that was released in early 2007. THe BAcksliders have recently finished recording their new album 'You're Welcome",to be released June 3rd '08 and will be touring for the remainder of the year. music available on ITunes CDs available at CD World, CD Source, Good Records, Bill's Records, Best Buy(north texas region), Waterloo Records. CDs and 7" singles ALWAYS available at the show.
While I have no problem w these "new" Backsliders, I think this page needs to differentiate between them and the now-defunct Raleigh, N.C. Alt-Country band of the same name, as both bands songs are lumped together on this page.
