Extended Biography:

Formed in the wake of some of its town's most prominent acts, Dayton, Ohio's Luxury Pushers were spawned on the 4th of July, 2003. It was immediately obvious they were a force to be reckoned with, displaying a tireless work ethic in combination with a punishing, double-barrel sonic swagger and a post-trash, ugly-pretty aesthetic. They pack a smart-ass sneer that's never smug; taking the immediate, snot-rocket earnest of the American punk tradition and dragging its proud-but-winded ass into the 21st century. The punks think they're rockers but the rockers think they're punks and it's all just splitting hairs at that point, anyhow.

Original members, regional stalwarts and ex-Mystery Addicts Jamy Holliday (guitar, vocals) and Eric Purtle (bass, vocals) met as teenagers and Luxury Pushers serve as the culmination of the two's years as collaborators. They've weathered lineup changes along the way, but 2005 brought the addition of heavy hitter C.Wright on 2nd guitar and 2007 sees Mystery Addicts drummer Bryan LaBonte return to the fray. Could this be the quintessential Luxury Pushers lineup?

The band's 2003 e.p. "Eat It," was used in its entirety for director Guy Capo's adult feature "Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll." It garnered a 2004 AVN-award nomination for Best Soundtrack. January 2005 saw the release of "Quitter's Holiday" - a recording which illustrated the band's growth, not only as songwriters, but as an ensemble. The evolution continues to build more and more momentum, like a half-shot van with suspect brakes descending the steepest of grades. Expect a collision with the upcoming 2007 release "Welcome to the Party, Traitor"...and fresh blood brings fresh ideas as the band prepares new material for the next studio adventure!

Luxury Pushers will fend off occasional references to the usual suspects: The Dead Boys, the Dolls as pertains to Messrs Thunders and Johanssen, the Hellacopters, etc. This sort of thing is inevitable when you attempt to encapsulate everything that's currently right (or ever was, for that matter) about rock 'n' roll. But rest assured that Luxury Pushers' oeuvre will not be pigeonholed that easily. It operates in austere defiance to neo-retro retreads of retreads. It's stand-up fall-down punk rock 'n' roll with a difference, plain and simple.
