Pistol Whippin' Ike

Pistol Whippin Ike is more than just a rock and roll band; it’s music with attitude, a feeling of raw energy and a full throttle all out assault on the senses. Spring of 2000 ushered in the genesis of Pistol Whippin Ike. Pistol Whippin Ike played their first live performance to an audience of wildly enthusiastic people that immediately became fans. Soon the band was invited to headline the Harder Beat Magazine Showcase; Pistol Whippin Ike stole the show with a knockout performance that left the crowd amazed, and demanding more. Impressed with the bands distinctive sound, The Gravity Games included three of Pistol Whippin Ike’s songs on The Complete 2003 Gravity Games home video/DVD collection and matching compilation CD. The band also quickly received an endorsement from Carvin Corporation, makers of world-class guitars and amplifiers. Pistol Whippin Ike was later asked to headline a showcase in the Dallas Music Fest, where they dominated and were voted Best Hard Rock Artist. Pistol Whippin Ike began working with the prestigious music marketing and management firm Ardsley & Bay. Soon after, Ardsley & Bay arranged for the band to record its next album with Multi-platinum Producer, David Prater. That album entitled. 44 Caliber Confessions, was released to rave reviews and in front of a rabid crowd of hundreds of fans in Dallas.

Guns, Skindread, Atimus Pyledriver, Drowning Pool, Vains of Jenna, and others. Concurrently, the song “Tell Me” from .44 Caliber Confessions was received well by regional radio and an accompanying video was produced and was played extensively on various music video outlets.
