HEY! We are playing this weekend with our awesomely good buds in History and With Hatchet Pike & Gun. Both are great bands and great people to boot. We even heard History likes to talk smack at the foosball table. Our response is 'Punks jump up to get beat down.' This will be a fun night. Come hang with all of us in the outside courtyard of Tampa's jewel of a venue - the New World Brewery. Poster and show details are further below.

Seriously guys, thank you for the awesome times and support over the years. Central Florida has a fantastic music scene with all the great bands, venues and overall participation - which is rare. It takes the particiaption of several efforts to keeping all the shows and events going, but most of all you guys for making it happen. Cheers to everyone, and let's all continue to pump up the jams, as Technotronic would say.







RECENT PRESS:

"... a first-rate bill of exemplary Florida talent was assembled for the History CD-release party – an impressively aggressive album, by the way. An outstanding set was delivered by Tampa's Auto! Automatic!!, who were the model of what a trio should be: powerfully lean and sonically clear. But it was the acres of dynamic ability that each player packed that afforded their performance maximum sonic mileage. With enough technicality to impress the academics but enough brawn to move everyone else, this is instrumental math rock that actually rocks out. Imagine that."
- Orlando Weekly


Our drummer Alex won a 'loafie' and was named the 2007 critics' pick 'Best Drummer' in the Bay Area by
Creative Loafing's annual Best of the Bay awards. Yeah!

BIOGRAPHY

Auto!Automatic!! is :

Brian 'B.Larsen' Larsen :: taps
Alex 'Hale Yeah, G7' Fedele :: sticks
Nate 'Tickets Tows & Tradgedies' Murray :: lows

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok here's the deal - Tampa, Florida’s Auto!Automatic!! does not play your typical instrumental indie-rock. Forget about the standard pretension associated with the indie-rock music scene. Instead, it's all about rocking out, but not taking yourself too seriously. It's instrumental, but not self-absorbed. It's math-rock, but has plenty of inherent melody. It’s also about tailgating, I-275 South, heckling with friends and foosball games until 3 A.M. It’s genuine, and it’s unique.

Frankly, there isn’t a proper way to label A!A!!'s music. The band holds no regard for what is acceptable in today’s music scene, all without trying too hard to be different. In a state that has produced the collective conscious of Marilyn Manson, O-Town and the Devil Rays, Auto!Automatic!! is poised to change perceptions.

Auto!Automatic!! is comprised of three friends who honestly enjoy playing music together as much as they enjoy a party in the parking lot of the Skate Park of Tampa. Alex Fedele commands the drum kit, while Nate Murray completes the rhythm section with bass lines that drive and anchor each song in place. Brian Larsen crafts innovative, finger-tapped guitar lines that exist metaphysically, weaving in and around the solid rhythm. Together, the band naturally combines left-field time changes and did-you-just-hear-that-man? I-mean-really-did-you-just HEAR-THAT? musicianship with straight forward head bobbin‘ rock’n’roll and melodic hooks that capture everyone’s attention.

The impetus of the band began in the summer of 2003 when the Chicago native Larsen moved to the sunshine state and began writing songs. The talented and prolific Larsen hunkered down with guitars, pedals, powerbooks, Tarantino DVDs and cases of Leinenkugel in his apartment in Tampa, and developed what has perhaps become the most unique and engaging sound to emerge from the area.

At most shows, the band is often found drinking PBR cans with friends, and anyone else who likes to talk about soccer or Ricky Gervais. Due to their ability to command attention at each performance, the band is continually gaining regional support in the already competitive and over-saturated South East music scene. It may sound odd, especially since there is no singer, but it often feels like the band is preaching more than playing, converting more and more people after each song. There is always a crowd of new and old disciples huddled around the merch table for the post-show group hug.

With the release of their 13 track debut release "Another Round Won’t Get Us Down," Auto!Automatic!! will leave audiences with something to talk about, all without saying a word themselves.
