805 South - Blues Rock Band

"For the love of the music, nothing else matters!"

805 South (8-oh-5 South) is a Los Angeles based blues rock band that is a fusion of original Memphis Rhythm and Blues, Nashville song writing, southern rock guitar, groove pumping drums and smooth bluesy bass lines. If “Black Crowes”, “Etta James”, and “Cream” had a baby than 805 South would be that love child. They have been called “Stevie Ray Vaughan’ with chicks and female “Jimi Hendrix”.

805 South started as a song, Lisa and Candy wrote the blues rock song "805 South" while taking a trip to the San Diego Zoo. After much thought, they named the band 805 South and renamed the blues rock song "Woke Up This Morning". When they got back to LA, they created craigslist ads containing only a-cappella blues rock songs, to find a blues guitarist, bassist, and drummer.

The first response was from Mike Daily, who has a great love for the playing the blues, former guitarist of "Antler Joe & The Accidents" a 80s punk band from Fort Myers, Fl. They met him at NoHo Denny’s on Lankershim and Burbank. He took their blues rock melodies and brought them to life. 805 South had their first live performance at "The Joint" and "B.B. Kings Blues Club" - Universal City Walk and played: The Airliner, The Cat Club, Studio Suite, Universal Bar and Grill, The Derby, On the Rox, House of Blues, and The Mint to name a few.

805 South blues rock songs are available for film/TV. 805 South is continually creating new blues rock songs and booking new venues. Their influences are blues and rock artists such as Black Crowes, Ben Harper and Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, and Bonnie Raitt. 805 South has release there 2008 blues rock EP "Pay To Play" and is currently working on their blues rock full length CD.
