About this project

Ok, so being in a band is hard work with long hours, zero pay and, at times, small crowds as your only reward... but we love it. My name is Todd and I'm in a band called Language Room in Austin, TX. We've been together as a band for 2 years but collectively have almost 30 years of experience behind us. We recently put out our debut album which was completely self-funded by one of the last personal loans approved by a bank apparently. It's been getting great reviews and we've started getting offers to play out of town shows all over the country. This is great but it's very difficult to go all the way yo Colorado and to Chicago from Austin pulling a trailer with a Toyota Highlander and begging for places to stay.

We are looking to buy a used RV so we can really start touring constantly. We are legit, nice guys who work very hard at what we do and are only looking for this one thing to help us quit our jobs and make a serious run at this. With an RV we can hit the road and not have to stick to cities where we know people who have couches. We can go anywhere and play everywhere pushing our album as far as it will go. We have a great team behind us that believes in us but without this one thing we can't get off the ground high enough to make a dent in our dream. Here are some links to our music...

Language Room

Straightpin Austin, TX

Relocating from Los Angeles to Austin in search of new direction, Todd Sapio literally bumped into his old friend Scott Graham on 6th street during the chaos of SXSW, 2007. Scott had also just moved to Austin, frustrated by the LA music scene where the two had originally met. So, the West coast refugees began writing together. Conveniently, Scott had a brother who also shared a passion for creating music and Matt Graham, a recent transport from Shreveport, Louisiana, was introduced into the band shortly after the first few rehearsals. Two nights before an important gig, the band's current drummer vanished and in desperation they frantically searched for anyone to cover for the lost appendage. Turning to a drummer for a friend of theirs to sit in, Caleb Kelly did more than just cover for the show he filled the final void in the band's lineup. Another new-comer to Austin, Caleb also felt called to make music, so like many before him, he made the trip to the music Mecca and fell right into place with Todd, Scott and Matt.

Beginning in September of 2007, the newly formed Language Room began playing shows all around Austin and began setting a standard for what a live show should be. After winning a battle of the bands competition, the band immediately hit the studio to record their first E.P. From that session, "Make Me Choose" became the intro song for Livestrong.com and "Don't Cover Your Eyes" was used in the movie "The Beacon" out of Los Angeles. Unsure of the next step, Todd ran into Matt Noveskey, bassist for Blue October, at a local music store and mentioned the band. After hearing the E.P. Noveskey jumped on board as producer and in November 2008 Language Room and Noveskey began recording songs for the band's debut album, One By One. “It’s easy working with great musicians that know what they want,” says Noveskey. “I feel like these guys are my little secret… but not for long.” With honest lyrics and passionate performances Language Room is turning heads and hearts and setting standards everywhere.
