Futon Blonde

Futon Blonde makes moody yet catchy indie rock with an emphasis on head-nodding grooves. Formed in Austin in 2014, the band came together around songwriter Janson Sommer’s demos. In 2015 they recorded their first EP ‘Act Right’ live to tape. After a rearranging of the multi-instrumentalist members, the more meticulously recorded EP ‘Solid State’ followed in 2016. The album showcased a heavier, funkier rhythm section as well as a new bag of studio tricks. The band continued to play around Austin with a rotating cast of bass players. The band toured Texas in 2018-19 and in the summer of 2019 released their debut LP ‘Uppercut’. After a stream of singles they announced that they will be releasing 3 EP’s in 2023, each exploring a different genre.
