Biography INDOFIN FACT SHEET Band Name : Indofin Musical Style- rock music w/reggae , ska, punk and hiphop influences Hometown- Austin TX Current CD : New album coming soon Dec. 2009?? Members/Instruments -TJ Huerta / lead guitar/vocals -Albert Huang/ bass, booking -Donny Mann/ drums Website: www.myspace.com/indofin Points of note: Indofin released their debut full length album in the summer of 2005, and they are currently working on the follow up to be released end of 2009. The Orange album was recorded at The Bubble, where many legendary Austin bands have recorded. Supposedly, the exact same tape machine from the Eagles "Hotel California" was used in recording this record. Indofin is currently working on a new record, most likely an EP first before the full album is released. They are currently recording at what was formerly Arlyn Studios, where such legends as Butthole Surfers, Willie Nelson, Sublime, and many others have recorded. The band hopes to have the EP ready by end of summer 2009, and they will mostly likely do a little touring following the release. CONTACT: IndofinMUSIC c/o Albert Huang 1712 E. Riverside #46 Austin TX 78741 512-771-0342 alberth1916@yahoo.com FULL BIO Indofin, together since 2002, is a skapunkreggae powertrio from Austin TX. From these very modest beginnings and years spent at what seemed like futile efforts, Indofin has certainly come a long way, becoming one of the defining bands of the central Texas scene. They managed to play showcases during SXSW from 2003-2007 and even earned a spot on TX dates of Vans Warped Tour in 2007. Since the release of their selftitled debut album in the spring of 2005, the band has played over 300 shows in over 50 US cities, as well as doing extensive regional touring around their homestate TX. Indofin has always maintained a strong DIY work ethic, booking five of their own tours, and they have never had a label, an agent, or manager. They have been fortunate enough to share the stage with many of the nation's touring acts including Voodoo GlowSkulls, Badfish Sublime Tribute, The Expendables, Outlaw Nation, The Stingers, The Supervillains, and many more. Despite playing with bands of every imaginable category, the band continues to stick out like a sore thumb in the central TX live music scene, refusing to confine their music to the boundaries of any particular genre. Stripped down now to 3 of the 5 original members, the band is taking their sound in a fresh new direction for the next record, but fans will still be able to experience the raw energy and intensity that Indofin puts into every live performance. Currently, this eclectic group of misunderstood punker sluts has been hard at work on the new album, which they plan to put out independently before the end of 2009. In the last few years, the band has endured numerous obstacles(carjackings, stolen equipment, drug & alcohol addiction etc.) and they often learned the hard way many of the cruel realities of the music industry, yet their uncompromising dedication to their craft remains stronger than ever. Indofin's staying around awhile, so be sure to check out a show if you get the chance; you won't regret it and it might even change your life.
