Discography
We are presently preparing to go into the studio to do our first album as The Tule Devils. We all have played in various bands that have recorded albums.
We have 3 videos from the Television Show we played on recently and they are available for viewing on our website and myspace page.
The song "Tide Pool" written by Pat Natzke is a moving song that has huge harmonies. It is haunting and beautiful.
"Father Time" was written by Tom Natzke and is a song about a mans foolish atempt to beat Father time" It is a passionate description of the dual nature of time.
"Southern Heart" written by Tom Natzke is a song about growing up with Southern manners and small town values. This is the Marshall Tucker side of The Tule Devils.

Bio
Pat and I (Tom) grew up listening to southern rock music and were huge fans of this genre. The Outlaws, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker etc. are all influences. We also had a huge blues adiction from an early age. When other kids were listening to Disco in the late 70's we were listening to Muddy Waters, Albert King and the like. We stand on this foundation in what we write and play. Most of our original music is a fusion of the southern rock we love and the blues that resides within us. We have been playing together since before high school and have a sort of non verbal communication between us that makes our shows powerful and never the same twice. The band as a whole are big Gov't Mule fans and we have a similar show style to theirs.
Often doing covers that you don't expect in our own Tule Devils style.
The band name comes from the "Tule" river that flows out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the southern San Joaquin valley near the town of Porterville, California. 4 of the 5 members grew up within walking distance of this river. It is a part of us and we a part of it....
