Austin, Texas USA (2006 – present)
White Denim is a bluesy, jazzy, garage-rock trio, hailing from Austin, Texas USA. According to vocalist/guitarist James Petralli, White Denim’s songs are the musical manifestations of abstract paintings or philosophical tracts. He explained to UK music magazine the NME: “The things that I like to read are generally abstract. I like patterns, I like reading poetry and avant-garde prose and I’m more interested in musical patterns in literature than I am in long-form narratives. I look at paintings and try to visualise an object or image, then assimilate how that makes me feel into a series of phrases and try to make it musical.”

In March 2005, the two bands Parque Touch (Josh Block, James Petralli, Lucas Anderson) and Peach Train (Steve Terebecki) played a show together at Beerland in Austin, Texas. After the show Steve was asked to play bass for Parque Touch and the band became four, playing under the pseudonyms Byshop Massive (Lucas), Bop English (James), Nicholas Mallard (Josh), and Terry Beckins (Steve); however, in February 2006, Lucas moved to Russia and the resulting power trio changed its name to White Denim. The new line-up began playing the local Austin circuit while recording punk-infused, psychedelic blues-rock in Block’s 1940s Spartan trailer.
In 2007, the band self-released its first EP entitled Let’s Talk About It on 7” only, but later these tracks became available on iTunes. While on tour in 2007, the band recorded its second album and sold copies as a nine-song “tour EP” entitled Workout Holiday, which was only sold at shows.

Last Day of Summer is another great release from the band. Amazing musical versatility. I guess as soon as they get more selective, they will be able to make the best album of the year

This is one of those bands that the first time that you hear one of their songs, you know they are different. When I heard "Street Joy" for fist time...no words!! Great band!!!

Takes Place In Your Work Space is killer. No Real Reason might be their greatest yet. If they pursue and refine the style that they've accomplished with their new guitarist on Last Day of Summer and the recent EP, I will be beyond pleased and I think they will finally EXPLODE. Musicians like these guys need the recognition they deserve.
