Details

STRATOSPHERE Bio Stratosphere is a San Diego based modern rock band. They can be misleadingly described as STP meets the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Dave Matthew's' house while playing Frisbee with Beatles records. They play both original and cover songs. Stratosphere has an incredible live show. By combining top notch musicians, high energy rock music, lyrics with deep poetic messages, and the coolest audiences in town, an awesome vibe emerges at every show. Their debut self titled CD was originally released in May of 2005 and received radio airplay on over 40 stations across the U.S. and in Canada. The entire CD has been re-recorded from scratch with multi-platinum producer Brett Lieberman and three additional tracks were added. The CD was rereleased in January 2006. Stratosphere's second CD "Breaking Out" was released in October of 2006. Kevin Thomas founded Stratosphere in 2003 with a collection of songs he had written over the previous two years. Kevin had been living in various different cities across the U.S., searching for the right atmosphere to bring his music to life . He finally found that environment in Miami Florida. After performing in Florida for several years, the band has recently relocated to San Diego and reformed with some new members. Kevin is the lead singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter for the band. He has a degree in Music from Berklee College of Music and a Masters degree in Music Composition from the University of Miami. The new monster drummer, Marcos Gallarado, is originally from Ecuador where he played an active part in the South American music scene. Percussionist Ed Molina adds all the spice to the rhythm section and gives Stratosphere much of its unique sound. Ed is an x marine sergeant. Tony Keil, originally from Seattle Washington, is the funkified bass player for the band. Tony has a degree in Music Education from West Washington University and is a highly sought after San Diego music teacher. Stratosphere is a must see for anyone who loves live rock music.
