The Secret Machines are a three-piece rock band originally from Dallas, Texas. They are comprised of two brothers, Brandon & Benjamin Curtis, and a friend, Josh Garza.
Before forming The Secret Machines the members had played in various Dallas bands such as: UFOFU, Captain Audio, Tripping Daisy, Comet, & When Babies Eat Pennies. They recorded their EP, September 000, in Chicago six weeks after forming, and subsequently relocated to New York. In 2004, The Secret Machines released their first full length CD - Now Here Is Nowhere. Their second EP, The Road Leads Where It's Led, was released on 7 June 2005. The song "Nowhere Again", from the their debut album, will appear in the 2006 videogame Driver: Parallel Lines. [1]
10 Silver Drops, their forthcoming sophomore album leaked onto file sharing websites following the release of their lead single "Alone, Jealous and Stoned" in the UK. How this will effect sales of the album remains to be seen.
Their music could be best described as progressive rock with some krautrock influences mixed in. They describe themselves as space rock. Many have also cited the Secret Machines as a style of shoegaze, as a lot of their songs on Now Here Is Nowhere have samples that mimic that of shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Ride.
"They take Pink Floyd psychedelia, Led Zeppelin stomp, and Who-inspired choruses and charge them full of big-rock beats, atmospheric keyboards and all kinds of electronic whooshes." %u2014 Rolling Stone
They have toured with Foo Fighters, Spiritualized, Oasis, Interpol, M83, among others, including the Kings Of Leon, this past summer. They also supported the British rock trio Muse at Londons Earl's Court, December 2004. In February 2006 they did the opening act for U2's Vertigo Tour in Mexico.
