Who is 45HiGH?
"Give me something real, something that will affect
me, some inspiration"
- ügOn TVüh
These lyrics reveal the kind of music that is about
to be unleashed onto the world by NYC pop/rock band
45HiGH.
Their debut release "Dream It Up," co-produced and
mixed by David Seitz (The Black Crowes, Suzanne
Vega), is just the beginning of great albums to
come.
45HiGH's vision was born when songwriters Pete
Giambalvo (voc) and Andreas Altmann (guitar)
auditioned drummer Donovan Pyle in a rehearsal
studio in NYC. Their jams created the mission
statement "On TV," the sincere "Hung Up on You," and
the Police-influenced "My Addiction."
Inspired by creative momentum they then added
guitarist Rik Cavazos, whose hard rock influence
further fueled the arena-sized vision of 45HiGH.
This is a group of eclectic minds with various
influences whose approach to songwriting remains
simple: "Rock music is a visceral experience so we
try not to get too heady about it,üh says Pete.
"Feel is the most important thing to us."
Front-man Pete Giambalvo's powerful voice soars
effortlessly over a tapestry of catchy guitar riffs
and heavy grooves. These ingredients invite the
listeners to delve beneath the surface and discover
a subtle sophistication. Pete explains, ügWe grew up
listening to bands like The Beatles, The Police, STP
and Cheap Trick. Their music is so dynamic and
timeless. Thatüfs the kind of music we aspire to
create.üh
Playing reputable New York City venues such as
Snitch and Crash Mansion, one can see that their
brand of rock is attracting an ever-growing
following.
"Everywhere we play, people are taken aback by what
theyüfve just witnessed,üh says Andreas. "It's
actually kind of fun to be in the position that we
are in. It's nice to have that mystique about us."
45HiGH is a sonic explosion; a band that is real,
that affects, and one that inspires.
