Los Angeles, CA- Los Angeles-based rock band The Active Set brings to Texas a new

L.A. sound with their debut EP, produced by Jason LaRocca of The Briggs.  The show

is part of the South by Southwest Conference celebrations on March 14, 2008 at the

Agave Bar, 415 East 6th Street in Austin.

About the highly anticipated EP and tour, band leader Matthew Stolarz says: “We're

excited to come to Austin and bring audiences our upbeat take on indie.  Some people

take themselves too seriously, but we believe that music can be intelligent and

energetic and can really create lasting, positive change.”  “Waging a war on wasting

away” has become their motto and a message that is prevalent throughout the EP.

The Active Set’s band members include:  lead singer and bassist Matthew Stolarz, a

Los Angeles native who left popular punk band The Briggs a few years ago to pursue

his vision.  From England is lead guitarist Wayne Russell who dropped out of university

to move to Los Angeles. Also on guitar is Francis Ramsden, an affluent surfer with a

strong business sense.  He joined the band having seen their ad calling for “smart.”  

Finally, from Indiana is 19-year-old Morgan Murphy, one of the youngest pro drummers

in the L.A. music scene.
