Who are we?
Dizzy Balloon is five friends who love writing songs. Their sound is unique in a world gone “hard core” and “indie.” It isn’t a trend, a genre, or a fashion statement. It’s not lazy, or boring, or melancholic. It’s a new generation of energetic, optimistic, well-crafted pop rock. Listen in. And for heaven's sake, turn it up!
Do The People Dig It?
"Owners of Live 105's 1 most requested local track of 2008 -the super infectious RAISE A GLASS- Dizzy Balloon victoriously were crowned champs of the NSSN 2008 local band competition. opening for KILLERS, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, FRANZ FERDINAND and BLOC PARTY. Catch them in action this Friday as they headline Slim's. (yes, how many other new local bands can do that I ask?)" -Aaron Axelsen, KITS Live 105 (105.3 FM)
"Young outfits such as this San Francisco quintet can launch careers at SXSW, and Dizzy Balloon just might have, considering the label honchos that stopped by their rooftop set. Fun-fun-fun songs about girls-girls-girls, all done smartly. The Beatles on Wellbutrin. Play, bounce, repeat." -Kevin Bronson, buzzbands.la
"Dizzy Balloon - TOP 10 BAY AREA ALBUMS OF THE DECADE. There are high school bands and then there are high school bands, but Dizzy Balloon stands in a class of its own. Songs such as 'Raise a Glass,' 'Young Love,' and 'What Can I Do' are as smart, professional, and catchy as any pop-rock made in the Bay Area this decade."
-East Bay Express
“Why settle for something average and run-of-the-mill when you can sit back and listen to these guys? With well-crafted guitar parts and cutting synth tracks, there’s just simply no reason not to give this band your full attention. Not to mention, their reputation of being a phenomenal live act.-Noisepop.com
"My highest votes went to Dizzy Balloon, a band with an infectious pop sensibility. They were like the class clowns in AP English -- juvenile without being delinquents, fun yet smart, and succeeding in making the folks around them really happy."
-SF Gate
