Josh Allen and the Whisky Brothers

The Return of Austin Rock -- Formed in April of 2007, the band's original name -- Josh Allen and the Whiskydicks – was inspired by their love of whisky - and the unfortunate aftermath of drinking too much of it. After finding that the local paper would not publish any of their show dates due to a certain four letter word appearing in their name, a decision was made to change the name to Josh Allen and the Whisky Brothers. Known as one of the hardest working bands in South Austin, the Band has already played over 50 shows in the short 6 months they've been together. This grueling schedule has helped the Band build a solid fan base that has been eager for them to record an album. In October of 2007 the Band entered into two 24-hour marathon recording sessions at Music Lane Studios in Austin, Texas. After the 48 hours of recording, at 5:30 in the morning on October 11th, they emerged with the rough mixes of their first album: "Welcome to the Rockhouse." Heavy on guitar solos and an "honest, live" sound, "Welcome to the Rockhouse" is the studio translation of a typical Whisky Brothers live show - and it's some damn good Rocknroll.
