The guys of Open Air Stereo cut their teeth at a young age in LA performing at legendary clubs like The Roxy and The Troubadour, selling out shows and owning the stage before they could own bar tabs. They first gained exposure in 2005 when their self-titled EP earned them a nomination for Best Rock Group at the Orange County Music Awards. The success of the EP got them a record deal with Sony Epic Records and secured them a spot performing in front of thousands at that year’s KROQ Weenie Roast, one of Southern California’s most anticipated concert events. More exposure for the band was found in 2006 when Chase joined the cast of MTV’s hit series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. That year the band performed live on MTV’s TRL to an audience of millions. The band has channeled the electrifying energy of its live performances into a new album produced by Gavin Brown (Three Days Grace, Metric) that is set for release in fall 2011.
