The Limousines

Juxtaposing the serious and smart with the fun and playful is at the heart of what The Limousines do, most notably when fans find themselves shaking their tail feathers to lyrics like, "Just when you think you've got it all worked out, that's probably when they'll put you in the ground."

Since forming in 2008, the band has opened for Weezer and Duran Duran, played Bay Area festivals like Treasure Island and radio station Live 105's BFD. To top it off, their music video for "Internet Killed The Video Star" has been seen over half a million times by rabid fans on YouTube.

After flirting briefly with a major label and being wined and dined by everyone who saw the duo's bright future, founding members Eric Victorino and Giovanni Giusti decided to take a step back and refocus on what got them all of the attention in the first place: making music on their own time, on their own terms. The band eventually inked a deal with Los Angeles indie label Dangerbird Records, home to bands like Silversun Pickups, Minus the Bear, Fitz and The Tantrums, and Beady Eye. Dangerbird will reissue the band's debut album "Get Sharp" on April 26, and the band will support the album on tour with Neon Trees in May.
