THE TOMATOES were formed in New Orleans, Louisiana in February of 2004. Comprised of singer/guitarist Will Burdette, drummer Ryan 'Woody' Dantagnan, and bassist George Ortolano, The Tomatoes moved quickly to establish a base within the New Orleans music "scene." They recorded their first EP in the spring of 2004 and then toured the club circuit throughout the summer and fall, from the East Coast to the West Coast. They drove hundreds of miles a day in a blue 1982 Ford passenger van (aka The Blue Runner), made frequent stops for beef jerky and cigarettes, and blew out amplifiers as well as car batteries and alternators.
The Tomatoes put touring on hold in October 2004, in order to finish their first full-length album. For the next three months they buried themselves in various studios around New Orleans, even garnering the assistance of legendary Soul Asylum front-man Dave Pirner who co-produced the lead track "She Wore A Yellow Gas Mask." The result was dubbed The Rise And Fall Of The Tomatoes, to be released in early 2005.

The Tomatoes are a great band. A very original rock band. Something radio has been missing for quite some time. Can't wait till this hits the big time. these guys deserve it.

This album kept me up all night. I think I listened to it 20 times before I finally pulled my head away from the speakers. The Rise And Fall Of The Tomatoes is rock 'n roll as it should be - and straight from the sweaty swamps of New Orleans, Louisiana!
