"I've never seen a band come into the KUNM studio, set up so quickly and rock so passionately and as seamlessly as The Old Main. This band has a fire lit under them!" - Matthew Finch, host of 89.9 FM KUNM "Ear to the Ground"



Thus began part one of The Old Main's featured performace recorded live in-studio at Albuquerque's college radio station on the University of New Mexico campus. The Old Main's origins lie in a post 9-11 Albuquerque music scene where each member was involved in completely different projects. Jason Wolf (drums) played in a politically charged, high energy, hip hop / rock band, while Danny Garcia (bass) is a strong pillar in the scene, dedicated to the NM music movement. Lacy was the singer/songwriter/guitarist in a well received alt.country band called Weldon. They were in very different bands that shared plenty of stages together in Albuquerque's eclectic downtown music scene for years. Just six weeks after The Old Main's first rehearsal in the fall of 2006, the band booked its first show in a hundred and fifty year old saloon in Socorro, NM. Since then the trio has recorded two albums, getting ready for a third studio album, and played over 200 shows from Madrid, NM to Las Vegas, NV. These days the city of Albuquerque is buzzing - with the spotlight shining on the growing movie industry and the great amount of musical talent coming out of the Duke City, The Old Main is definitely on the right track and coming along right on time!



"The Old Main's entire set is well written, played and thought out. This music is awesome and has been sorely missed in the Albuquerque scene." (Michael "The Butcher" Nielsen - Random Live Reviews)



The Old Main's sound is very diverse: a mixture of blues sadness, southern country rock, with a kick of strong guitar riffs. lyrics that are real without the overused commercial phrases that spell everything out for you." (Zoey - iTunes review)



"Rod Lacy knows how to spin a yarn, and like any born storyteller, he knows what's important about his own story." (Marisa Demarco - Weekly Alibi)
