37th Parallel

Youngest Band to Ever Perform at the BFD Music Festival Our names are AJ, Brad, Eric, and Philip, and together we form the indie rock band \"37th Parallel\". At the start it was just a group of thirteen year-olds, with a shared appreciation for classic rock, jamming on weekends to their favorite songs. Three and four hour jam sessions became a weekly event and with all the practice the set list of covers began to quickly expand. Gimme Shelter was our first cover followed by a string of Zeppelin covers including D\'yer Maker, Good Times Bad Times, Ramble On, Going to California, Houses of the Holy, and No Quarter. Songs from Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and Santana followed. We became regular performers in downtown Los Altos at the monthly First Friday events. Fans loved seeing such young musicians performing classic rock songs and doing it well. It was at one of these shows that we caught the attention of a music industry exec. He saw the potential but also counseled that making it in the music industry was really tough and would require lots of hard work and more than a little luck. But neither hard work or luck would get us anywhere if we didn\'t start writing our own music. Inspired by the challenge, the band set to work on creating our own original music. On August 23rd 2015 we released our debut album, ESCAPE!
