Beastheart

Texans Michael Powers and Kyle Patterson initially formed Beastheart in early 2007 in Brooklyn as a forum for cooking BBQ and trying out their new songs on one another. It wasn't long before the duo began playing out, though, and in early 2008 fellow Texan Octavius Neveaux (bass/vox) and native-Brooklynite Mike 'Hooch' Vourlias (drums) came on board, helping fill out the brooding and haunted "lost on the plains" sound they've since developed. Beastheart has just finished recording its first full length, an effort to bring together something of the furor of Sixteen Horsepower with the reverbed zeal of Lift To Experience and the gallop of Calexico. They live, record and practice in Brooklyn, NY.
