The band has released two LPs since their formation in 2009. The self-titled "The Preservation" recorded in a home studio in 2010 and "Two Sisters" recorded in 2011 at Public Hi-Fi in Austin, a studio built by Spoon drummer/producer Jim Eno.

At that point they had just released their first EP and we were deeply in love with their fuzzy face melting shoegaze sound. Since then, they've released two full length albums, including last year's release "Mauve" and toured Europe, Japan and oh, yeah, went on tour supporting a little band called The Smashing Pumpkins. Boyfrndz Boyfrndz has captivated Austin with their rhythmic and head-bobbing noise-pop music.

The Tontons don't have a readily available mainstream band to make an off-the-cuff comparison, so in this space we won't tell you they sound like Indie Flavor Of The Week or Noted And Weighty Classic Rock Name. The Tontons simply sound like the Tontons. That sounds like false bluster, but anyone who has been tracking them since 2008 will tell you the same thing. Up front is Asli Omar, that vocal vixen who can make men and rock nerds alike quake in their boots. Bassist Tom Nguyen, whose rumble forms the dermis of the band and then them boys Adam and Justin Martinez come in with titanic guitars and drums to make sure you are still moving your feet. This is a band that has been fully embraced by their native Houston, and the Tontons have hugged the city back with relentless gigging around town, and ...http://www.101x.com/homegrown/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10483468deidregott@gmail.com (Deidre)http://www.101x.com/homegrown/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10483468Mon, 14 Jan 2013 23:18:07 GMTTomorrow continues Free Week with awesome shows all around town for free!

How they found each other involved many beers and various endeavors in the Austin music scene.

This mixture produces a rock and roll sound that has been compared to the likes of Toadies, Alice & Chains and Queens of the Stone Age. Oak is Keeping have been playing around Texas and its surrounding states for over a year while Shay, Mastin, Zac and Adam wrote and recorded songs for their debut album, Animal Style! The record is full of double guitar attacks, driving beats, haunting melodies and powerful bass lines. The band's next EP, Doom Rainbow, didn't come out until late 2012, picking up right where the band left off.... Heavy riffs, sweet solos, dragon lightning bolts and some more sweet songs.
