MISSION: The Back Pockets hope to embark on an "epic circle america tour" beginning March 8th & ending May 6th 2012, while creating a short film, spreading the joy of our elaborate shows, & promoting our newest album. Film to be based on our actual lives w/ added elements of magical realism, directed by film maker & bff Bill Guzik!!

OUR STORY: The Back Pockets are a flock of musicians, performance artists, & dancers based out of Atlanta Ga. Since our conception in Aug. 2008, we have played over 300 shows, released 4 albums & several music videos, & extensively toured the southeast. We hand paint every cd cover, hand sew every lyric book, do all booking, managing, & producing ourselves. Shows are elaborate acts of theater, audience interaction, set design installation, costuming, & music.
