Electric Touch

The odd combination of an Englishman in the midst of southeastern Texans, Electric Touch emerged following the demise of British band IV Thieves and Houston, TX-based Bojones. Shane Lawlor, Christopher Leigh, Ross Dubois, and Louis Messina, Jr. came together in Austin, and quickly won a following with well-received gigs at Coachella and South by Southwest. The band was set to release its debut full-length -- recorded with producer Chris Smith -- in mid-2008. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
