The Bailouts rose from the ashes of bands like The VoodooCasters and Wednesday's Child. They began turning heads in the local scene in early 2009 when they began appearing in local venues and music festivals. Fronted by powerful, versatile and engaging vocalists, the band is able to perform a variety of cover songs while infusing them with originality and all new twists. Their rich sound, tight harmonies, and high energy performances set them apart from most bands in the circuit.

This band is not just fronted by one gender or one voice. With a Natalie Merchant stage vibe and a voice like Kate Pierson from the B52s mixed with some old-school Pat Benatar,  the band's front woman, Annie electrifies the stage, Tony also takes the mic for the occassional male perspective while electric guitar riffs, tight beats, pounding bass lines and synthesizer pads fill the audible plane with their signature Bailout Bang.

"We do some back and forth," Tony says about the male and female lead vocal roles in his new up and coming local act, "We even sometimes duet on songs like 'Don't You Want Me Baby' by The Human League and 'Stop Dragging My Heart Around' by Tom Petty & Stevie Nicks. We sometimes even swap song roles, like, I'll sing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears and Annie might do 'Just Like Heaven' by The Cure."

The band rocks out on stages all across Miami, gracing stages at Tobacco Road, Poprox, Little Hoolie's, The Brickell Irish Pub and more. Most recently they even performed alongside The CHG at the 2009 Music Festival: 80's Flashback. Their repertoire takes the audience on a musical journey through time and space, engaging the audience with familiar favorites and beloved classics that are hard to not sing along with. The band welcomes new listeners to a musical experience like no other.
