Biography
Two boys from San Francisco travel down to Los Angeles. One has been singing all his life, but never for pay. The other has led several bands, playing guitar and looking for a sound. They meet up at the university, and connect over a common background and a common pursuit. They play acoustic guitars, they write songs, they perform. When they come across two Orange County boys with the vision and grit required of a rhythm section, LINKS becomes official. Things start to move quickly. Sweaty hours in the rehearsal studio produce a brand new sound, bigger than the four of them. They find new places to push
their instruments, listen to vinyl records all day, and call in sick for work. They record a demo, and begin playing every chance they get. They tour California. When the time comes and the songs are ready, they record their first EP, "Tip Your Jester," with no outside help. They borrow old tape machines to get the sounds they demand, and produce a recording that they are proud of. A sold out CD release show at The Viper Room in Hollywood precedes another West Coast tour, followed by well attended shows at their favorite spots in LA. This catches the attention of Audrina Partridge, of MTV fame, who decides
to put LINKS on her show "The Hills." The cameras roll at another sold out Viper Room show. The four men move in together to a house in Silverlake, and fill it to the brim with guitars, drums, keyboards, and everything they need. They sign on with a young manager with the same dedication that they share. With the pace picking up steadily, and stakes getting higher, they barely know what they're getting in for. They just know they have to do it.
