The So So Glos (Bay Ridge, Brooklyn)

<p>THE SO SO GLOS. BAND OF BROTHERS. SINCE 1991.

<br>The So So Glos began in 1991 when brothers Alex Levine &amp; Ryan Levine met Zach Staggers in

<br>kindergarten in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Through a series of divorces and remarriages the three became

<br>brothers. They played music before they knew how to under monikers such as SPITT, Urban Eyze &amp;

<br>Every Other Weekend.

<br>In 2007 Matt Elkin joined the band to complete the family and The So So Glos were born. The four went

<br>on to co-found The Market Hotel in 2008 &amp; Shea Stadium in 2010. The two D.I.Y. all ages music venues

<br>have become staples of Brooklyn's underground music community.

<br>In 2013 The band released Blowout on their own imprint of Shea Stadium Records. Blowout saw praise

<br>from the grassroots fanbase they had built as well as mainstream media outlets propelling them from a

<br>garage band to local heroes in the national spotlight. The release of Blowout also secured 'em their

<br>national television debut performing "Son of an American" on the Late Show with David Letterman.

<br>The So So Glos live show is known for its high energy and crowd engagement. Whether they play a punk

<br>house in Brooklyn, a beach party in Miami or a Basketball Arena in San Antonio, they always play with

<br>the same excitement &amp; zeal the songs deserve.

<br>They have recently shared the stage with bands such as Conor Oberst's reunited Desaparecidos, The

<br>Pogues, Trail of Dead, Ted Leo, Brand New, Rocket from the Crypt, Matt &amp; Kim, The Hold Steady &amp;

<br>Raekwon of Wu Tang Clan.

<br>To date they have released 2 LP's, 2 EP's &amp; several singles - all with production by their childhood

<br>friend and lifelong producer Adam Reich (aka The 5th Glo). They are always on tour.</p>
