About Us
Pacific Sol is a rock band of South Bay, California locals who play a variety of music, both cover songs and originals, mixing elements of modern and classic rock. Pacific Sol's playing style focuses on their love of live music. Musical influences include Chopin and Bach. Just kidding. They indulge their rock palate with The Beatles, The Lumineers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Depeche Mode, The Cult, Bruce Springsteen, Pixies, Blink 182, White Stripes, anything involving Tom Morello, and, of course, Weird Al.
"I wish I could dance like them," said long-time fan, Due Lipa, in 2022. "I've been ripping off their original songs for years," said Brandi Carlile in a Rolling Stone article in 2020. Please don't cite check that Rolling Stone article. Thanks. The band members are classically trained in that they have spent decades listening to and playing classic rock at high decibel levels. It is their goal to one day recreate Doc Brown's amp at the beginning of "Back to the Future," turn it up to 11, and see if a sound wave could actually knock you off your feet. Phil Specter has nothing on Doc Brown's "Wall of Sound."
It's All About Live Shows
For Pacific Sol, it's all about live music. You can't beat the energy of watching a rock band play together. Sorry DJs and electronic music, it's nothing personal. Live performances have an electricity, unpredictability, and uniqueness that makes watching a band play together so special. That's why Pacific Sol plays live gigs - to pay homage to their favorite bands, songs, and concerts.
"Road Test" Tour
Pacific Sol is bringing the “Road Test Tour” to Los Angeles and Orange County venues to further craft their new songs before recording an upcoming EP in early 2023. It’s just like a carpenter sharpening his tools before making a custom cabinet. During live shows, Pacific Sol blends their new original songs with rock covers from the 1960s to present.
