THE OTHER HALF

The Other Half is an indie rock trio based out of El Paso, Texas. Following the disbandment of a previous project, the three reclaimed their musical chemistry and began honing in on a sound uniquely theirs. That sound, as with most bands, was distinctly shaped by the massive catalogue of musical influences shared amongst the group. Bands like The Strokes, Kings of Leon, The Arctic Monkeys, and Interpol left a profound impression on the group’s primary songwriters. The Other Half sound is an emulation of these musical stylings coupled with their own upbringing rooted in classic rock. 

The band has steadily evolved from hard-driven, rock & roll, towards a more harmonious and upbeat sound. ‘Emrason’, for example, showcases the duality of crisp guitar leads, accompanied by funky bass lines. Other songs like ‘Christopherson Dario’ and single ‘New Century Man’ still capture the hard-hitting origins of this trio. All three are featured in the band’s debut EP, ‘Family of Fools’. Recorded in early 2015 with Ross Ingram at Brainville Studios and mastered by Chris Common. The EP includes five tracks and can be found on iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp. 

Having gigged at nearly every venue in the local circuit since their inception in 2013, the band has also ventured out of the city. Most recently, The Other Half traveled the West coast in a tour that included Tempe, AZ, San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles, CA. The group has also frequented Austin, TX, performing during SXSW in 2014 and Free Week in 2015. Festival appearances include Neon Desert 2014, 2016 & 2017 & KLAQ Streetfest 2013, 2014 & 2015.
