Courtesy of EMBRACE we have two passes to give-a-way for Fergus & Geronimo w/ Surf City @ The Garrison on April 16, 2011.

Things that come from Texas are often odd and grand, and this is no exception for Denton’s Fergus & Geronimo. Named after the rival child gang leaders from the 1994 movie War Of The Buttons, their music is at times both focused and loose, and comes from a wide range of unexpected influences. At the core of the group is Jason Kelly and Andrew Savage, who met while Kelly was recording and mixing a record for Teenage Cool Kids, a band started by Savage. During that four month process of recording, Kelly and Savage bonded over music, the creative process of recording, and the possibility of having a band that draws from a variety of sources. Black and Chicano doo-wop, the energy and atmosphere of classic soul, the precise control of Frank Zappa, psychedelia, and a thought to nearly everything in between. “Sparks is a pretty big influence – not just musically, but the way that band operates,” Savage adds. “It is two guys making weird music with no other agenda than being creative and surprising, and that’s what I want this band to be. That band is a great example of a group that makes no compromises for creativity.”
