Biography
In September of 2008 Tyler Weaver (Drummer) formed a progressive rock band with Michael Tellez (singer/guitarist) and Nigel Barrios (keyboardist/bassist/vocalist). The San Antonio based band played locally looking for singers who would be interested at shows as well as online ads, and the dreaded flyer in the window. It was all but given up when Nathan Shimek (vocalist/guitarist) answered the ad “Singer with Balls, No BS”. It was an instant match of southern rock style vocals with a poppy progressive rock sound. “The Doors meets Zeppelin meets modern technology” says Bobby Mercier Recording Engineer and owner of The Looney Bin Studios.
Glow in the Sun formed in December of 2009. All previous history of music was set aside for a new mix of influences and creative vision. In 5 months the quartet had written and recorded their first full length album “Eagle Nest”. Named for the street of the house where the album was written. They played a couple of shows at “The Korova,” a new club in downtown San Antonio, averaging 35 heads a show and sold shirts and stickers. After the first show they were offered free time at “Pro Amp Studios” and featured in Back Beat Magazine under “Bands Worth Paying to See.”
