Red Leaves

Red Leaves is a dark pop indie rock band from Austin, Texas. Being compared to everyone from The Cure to Explosions in the Sky, Red Leaves brings to the table a sharp post-punk attitude while utilizing a more accessible pop structure with distinct melodies, unexpected rhythms, and compelling lyrics & vocals awash in distortion.
The band formed in 2004 in Austin. Band founders David Lujan and Singer Mayberry were living in a small one bedroom apartment when they started collaborating on home recordings. Both were finishing up their bachelor’s degrees from The University of Texas; Mayberry was studying Classical Guitar and Music History, while Lujan was a Studio Art Major.
The band really got going in 2006, and since then they have self-released three EPs and one Full Length Album, as well as toured the Southwest and West Coast four times. In 2007 they were invited to play on line-ups at national festivals with Wutang Clan & Everclear at The Santa Fe Muzik Fest in, and The North vs. South Festival in Kansas.
For most of its duration the band was a trio. David Lujan has always been the lead vocalist and guitarist, while Singer Mayberry played Bass, Keys, Guitar, and sang backup on many songs. Being a trio, with six different drummers throughout the band’s duration, in 2009 with a new drummer Dorian Colbert (ex. Member of Lomita), the band added a fourth member, David's brother Marcos Lujan as 2nd bass player.
