| Emerging from the New York/New Jersey rock scene comes the musical powerhouse known As 20 amps. Debuting publicly in March 2003 to the tune of a sold out, self-promoted CD Release party in northern New Jersey, 20 Amps quickly generated a buzz as loud as their music. As musicians stemming from various talented local regional acts, they finally found their true voices in a small rehearsal studio in NJ.
A 20 Amps performance loaded with the infectious drumming of Felix “The Cat”, the pounding bass of "J", the blistering leads of Diego, the raging rhythms of Danny, capped off with the haunting vocals of Rey, is one not soon to be forgotten. Their seemingly endless hours of practice, composition, and conditioning are prominently displayed on stage day in and day out.
With less than two years in the public eye, they’ve already attracted product sponsorships and coveted spots as opening support for national and international performers. In recent history the band has played some legendary venues as CBGB’s in New York’s East Village and The Birch Hill in Old Bridge, NJ and along side headlining acts including Ill Niño, Motograter and Spineshank to name a few.
In early 2004, 20 Amps became involved with Columbia Records’ international scouting vehicle, Emergenza. And in 2005, 20 Amps became the first band on the Emergenza festival to achieve an American television audience when the band performed live in front of several million viewers from the studios of Telemundo NY Channel 47. Having successfully opened the doors to a wider audience, and achieved larger than normal recognition for the festival, 20 Amps will return this year for another run in support of their latest second self-produced album. Tour dates include, but are not limited to, many performances along the East Coast. |
