Album Notes

Eleven Fingered Charlie was formed in 2001 by Travis Damron and Chad Manes. Travis and Chad met at Texas State University and began jamming acoustic guitars together. Both developed a love of reggae music while growing up with influences such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, Toots and the Maytals, UB40, Sublime, The Police, The Clash, Ini Kamoze, Half Pint, Barrington Levy, Dennis Brown etc. It was the energy and good vibes of reggae that inluenced Travis and Chad to begin EFC and write music of their own. Since, EFC has formed a reggae style that fuses hints of surf and rock, as well as TX influenced blues and country. Travis Damron(vocals, guitar) heads the group with soulful vocals and guitars. Chad Manes(bass, vocals)provides the backbone of EFC with smooth-flowing bass lines and backup vocals. Dustin Hall, a math-metal experienced drummer became EFC's drummer in Summer of 2004 and provides the band with a form of raw technicality that easily lends itself to outside influences other than reggae. Rodney Howell(saxophone) was added to EFC in May '05 and provides yet another sweet melody to the music by accompanying the band on saxophone. EFC's goal is to make positive music that people can relate to and dance to, and that they enjoy listening to themselves. Recently, the guys have been traveling their homestate making a name for themselves. EFC has now released their 2nd full-length album "Never The Same", which provides a much stronger sophomore album that more than doubles the playing time of the 1st album. Rob Fitzpatrick(Cloudesign), does amazing original artwork for the band including their website(efcmusic.com), cd designs, and show handbills. Above all else, EFC stresses a love for all things positive, like good music, good friends and good times with an understanding that life has it's moments of disparity. Eleven Fingered Charlie is determined to influence the world through the best medium they know how…music.

i'm not sure i can put into words how this band has changed my life. The first time i ever heard them was live at a smaller venue in north austin - i couldn't stop moving to their beats, and one song even made me cry. i talked with them and it's true... the best people you'll ever meet! the kind you wanna be friends with! i bought two of these cd's because they offered a good deal... i planned on giving one away... but i like having one for my house and one for my truck! Simply put: these guys are amazing. Their passion for what they do and talent to do it so well, will no doubt having them travling the world to share the music (and the love)!
Thank you EFC!

can't wait for the new album!

I'm giving it four stars becase I've seen these guys live, and they've come a long way from thier sound on this first album. The new one is going to be worth the 3 year wait.

They have a couple of songs from thier new album up on myspace and I can't wait to hear the whole thing. In the meantime, buy this album, because it's better than most in the genre. These guys are way better musicans than some of the big names who are playing reggae/dub/rock mixes ... and these are humble guys too. I talked to the bassist, Chad,  after a show in Austin and he was so friendly, no ego from these dudes, definetely support them!

I love this CD!  I've seen two live shows in Austin now and if the new album is going to be anything like that I'm gonna buy 10!  The new songs on myspace are amazing and their live show is insane!
