karrigan

Karrigan from Orlando, Florida consists of Chase Williams, Keith Allen, Ryan Klein, Mike Mercado and Austin O'Laughlin. These five experienced and talented musicians came together to provide a new fresh sound for pop/dance rock. Formed in 2007, the band has already played with prominent artists at the 2007(Ernie Ball) and 2009(Kevin Says) Orlando Van's Warped Tour and many other venues throughout Florida and the Eastern United States. Karrigan recently recorded in January 2008 in Woodstock, NY with producers Michael Birnbaum & Chris Bittner (Coheed and Cambria, The Sleeping, Straylight Run). In 2008, Karrigan spent all summer hand-selling their debut release, "My Conscience Got the Best of Me" EP and sold over 6000 records and had great reviews on absolutepunk.net and throughout the rest of the music world. The band currently has finished recording and plans to release their new summer sampler at the 2009 Van's Warped Tour. They are excited to show the world their fresh new sound as they grow as a band and grow in popularity throughout the United States connecting with their audience through upbeat songs about life, love and partying under the Florida sun. Karrigan's ability to connect with their fans is undeniable and evident on their always active myspace page. This talented new group of musicians will continue to rock audiences throughout the U.S. playing the music they love for their large and expanding fan base. Expect great things from the band in 2009!
