The Alliez, reggae/rock LIVE August 6, 2009

When THE ALLIEZ take the stage, prepare to go on a musical journey that starts in the Hawaiian Islands and lands somewhere along the Northern Cali coast. Defining a new Pacific sound, THE ALLIEZ have it: hard driving rhythms, conscious lyrics, grooving bass lines, and scorching guitar solos. Formed in 2006 on Maui, THE ALLIEZ create a reggae rock sound that is infectious. THE ALLIEZ have played sold out shows across the state of Hawaii, from Hilo to Hanalei with bands like Pepper, Groundation, Agent Orange, Ooklah the Moc, D.I. and Mike Pinto.

Jacob Abeytia (Vocals and Rhythm Guitar), raised on Maui has been surrounded by good vibes, good people and the beauty of the islands. His powerful and thoughtful lyrics blend perfectly with a backdrop of flowing, catchy melodic rhythms.

Ben Cerda (Bass Guitar) born in Chile, raised in Northern California, has been residing in Maui for the last eight years. Ben has a life-long love of music, instilled in him by his musician parents. The heavy rhythms of reggae, funk and rock influence his Latin roots to make him the stand out bassist that he is.

Brian Sykes (Lead and Rhythm Guitar) of Humboldt County grew up playing every style of music from reggae, rock, metal punk, blues and funk. Formerly the guitar player for Thicker Than Thieves of San Diego, Brian has proved to be one of the most admired guitarists out there.

Jesse Smith (Drums) of Hawaii has been playing drums his whole life. He is a solid, “stay-in-the-pocket” drummer and has some of the hardest hitting grooves. Jesse is a legend on the Islands and has played every venue on every island in Hawaii. He is the heartbeat of THE ALLIEZ.

Just after the release of their 2008 demo to radio stations and industry professionals, THE ALLIEZ songs “Higher Ground” and “Till You Say Stop” have found their way into regular radio rotation. The requests are strong and everyone is anxiously waiting for the release of their full-length CD in July 2009.

THE ALLIEZ form a tight unit that is sure to make you move, groove and think positive. The main priorities of THE ALLIEZ are forging a new sound and moving crowds around the world.
