Are The Piper Downs are the best damned band on earth? Three guys and a chick drummer who kick ass, this four piece met while students in Virginia. A quick move to Los Angeles, four national and one Australian tour, and two self-released cds later, The Piper Downs are ready for world conquest!

The Piper Downs place a premium on songwriting and exciting live shows. Their live shows are a blend of Foo Fighters rock and Barenaked Ladies humor with emphasis on audience participation - never a set list in sight, they play what the audience calls out. Twice they have been named the "Best Unsigned Band in Los Angeles," have appeared on radio, movies, and television shows, headlined the local stage at the Vans Warped Tour, opened for Sammy Hagar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and represented the United States in the Global Battle of the Bands in London, England.
