Weaving fantastic tales of time traveling apparitions, teenage monsters in love and the zombie apocalypse, Alright Alright's cunning take on classic rock music is as memorable as it is infectious. After several line-up changes, front-man and songwriter Michael Sweeney (formerly of The Hoorays) cemented the sextet together in 2008. He enlisted Jeff Springer on lead guitar, Brent Wroten (also of Tiki Monsters & Jettson) on drums, Cleo German on bass, Ryan Seaton on vocals and Dayna Richards (also of Salt Petal & Go West Young Man) on keys and trumpet. Together they craft clever three-minute gems with power, precision and panache.
In between gigging Southern California and mini-tours with the southland's Gods of Macho, the band released a YouTube video series (Live From Eargasm) and a four song self-titled EP, the latter of which saw the single 'Jenny Of The F.B.I.' spun on Troy's Room with Troy Spiropoulos' 'Best of 2009' broadcast on LATalkRadio.com. Their first full-length album You Are One Of Us Now was released on Hive-Mind Records in April 2010 and features music that appeared in the documentary film Robert Williams: Mr. Bitchin.
Their instantly classic riffs, monster beats and catchy-as-hell lyrics make Alright Alright a band to listen to, but their supreme musicality, indefatigable energy and killer charisma make them a band to love.
