Down From Hollow is a blues-centric heavy rock band headquartered in Los Angeles. The band is noted for its blues and R&B-flavored guitar hooks, for its driving rhythm section, and for its energetic live show, punctuated by frontman Cody Hopkins's unhinged and unpredictable stage behavior.

[edit] History

The band was formed in 2002 when vocalist Cody Hopkins and guitarist Shay Keefer met in the bathroom of an L.A. nightclub. Under the guidance of Hopkins's older brother (of L.A. favorites Paperback Hero and former AMC recording artists Asa Cruz), the duo penned dozens of songs and culled an all-star rhythm section from the Los Angeles talent pool to finalize a lineup that would grace the grimiest stages in Southern California.

In 2005, Down From Hollow entered The Sound Salon to record its debut 11-song album with Grammy-nominated engineer/producer Joe Ayoub. Scheduled for independent release in early 2006, the album will join a growing list of accomplishments that includes packed performances, television licensing (early studio recordings were featured on CBS's Without a Trace and WB's Felicity), and an ever-growing fan base from across the United States. January 2006 will also mark the beginning of a biweekly residency at the Cat Club on the Sunset Strip.
