Chuck from The Troubadour quips...

"TORNADO MAGNET - the name implies a danger of Standing a little too close to the band, and at 20 paces with a glass Of Tennessee whisky in your hand, these alt-country rockers will blow that glass & hat right off yer damn noggin. You remember Phil Bensimon as the leader of The Hideaways & Whisky Tango. The 2005 San Diego Music Awards Winner and 2006 as well as 2007 nominee is at it again."

Recorded at "The Village Studios, La Mesa CA, The début record by Tornado

Magnet, "Double Wide", on Big Bender Records,

is flavored with gorgeous pedal steel work and honest, heartfelt lyrics

Soaked in equal parts whiskey and integrity. They weave their tales of

small towns, drinking, cheating, loving and leaving. Tornado Magnet

style ranges from infectious pop (“South Of The Border”) and raucous rockabilly ("Hook Up") to bluesy ("Pistolero").  The band also brings Red Dirt flavor with a song about white trash mobile home dwellers riding round with shotguns and “drinking moonshine like lemonade” in a pick up ("Red Neck Renegades"). The Album also manages to touch on all acoustic bluegrass ballads like (“Reminds Me Of You”) to the classic country song (“Austin City Lights”).  We are equally comfortable playing completely unplugged all acoustic shows, to all amped up loud rocker shows, and we generally do a combination of each at all shows.”  Besides rockin' and a twangin', its clear Tornado Magnet also knows the power of catchy hooks and warm harmonies.

Members of Tornado Magnet have been making waves around Southern California for a while, garnering recognition in the press and picking up nominations for multiple San Diego music awards, highlighted by winning best country in 2005 & nominated for best Americana album in 2006 and 2007.

With a ferocious live show that has created a devoted following of true believers, Tornado Magnet is known for making many southwestern nights little bit hotter.

Thanking you from your Amigos out here on the western frontier and somewhere near The Mexican border.

God Speed
