Bozeman Magazine

They've been described as honky-tonk, country, rock, edgy and progressive but, if you ask Bozeman, Montana's Ten Foot Tall and 80 Proof what style they are they'll tell you, "made in Montana, roots, rock, country!" Ten Foot Tall & 80 Proof have never wondered where their music might take them but rather where could they take their music. Since the band formed in early 2006, Ten Foot Tall and 80 Proof has rapidly ascended the Rocky Mountain region's musical ladder. In January 2007 they embarked on a recording project which resulted in their debut album, "Princess of Doom" which was released in January 2008. In February 2010 the 1080 boys released "Another Round" their second album. The last 5 years found these boys wandering around the U.S. in their big van "Stella" playing over 150 shows/year in such places as Minnesota, Michigan, Wyoming, California, Idaho, Washington Oregon and of course, Montana. Collectively, the members are versed in a broad spectrum of styles, including country, bluegrass, R&B, blues, rock, jazz and funk and their shows include a touch of them all. See ya on the dance floor!
