Tight. Hooky. Punky. ROCK-N-ROLL! Throw your fists in the air and get ready to shake your ass cause Sidekick Mafia sneaks up on you like a midget, jumps down your earhole, and infects your whole body. Theyre the Texas punkabilly rock-n-roll trio youd never expect now from a city whose last notable rockabilly band was Reverend Horton Heat. The Mafias bringin it back though, with a whole new sound. They make rock fans like swing, country fans like rock, swing fans like country, and them all like rockabilly. No wonder they can share the stage with the Flametrick Subs, Deaf Pedestrians, Flickerstick, Fallen From The Nest, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Vanished, The Feds, Slick 57, SouthFM, or any country band in town. And they havepackin the house and rockin the new fans in the Southwest & Central USA like theyre the biggest band this side of the Mississippi River.

In April 2006, after less than 2 years as a band, Sidekick Mafia astounded the industry with what Harder Beat Magazine calls one of the best CDs of the year, locally or otherwise. Their breakthrough self-titled debut album was co-produced by Sidekick Mafia and Munnch (FFTN), recorded by Nolan Thies (Deep Blue Something, Hourly Radio, Smile Smile), and mixed/mastered by Derek Taylor (Bush, Burden Brothers, The Feds, The Vanished). Its available online at CDBaby.com/sidekick, the iTunes Music Store and at live shows.

The only thing that could possibly overshadow the quality of their studio album is their explosive and magnetic live show, spattered with perfect harmonies, awesome guitar licks, insane bass grooves, and drums so tight youd think it was their first time.

As new of a band as Sidekick Mafia is, theyre already making plenty of Texas noise. Theyve been featured on the cover of Harder Beat Magazine, and have been one of the main attractions on several tours and festivals including Buzz Oven, The Deep Ellum Community Music Festival, Rock the Campus for the Cure, and Pistons & Paint.

Dont try to fight it. One listen and youll fall in love with the Sidekick Mafias catchy, punky, Texas rock-n-roll sound. Everyone else already has.
