The New Longview, based out of San Luis Obispo, CA., has just begun to attract the ear of audiences around the state. Since forming in 2004, The New Longview has grown from a hugely popular local band to a group that has captivated listeners throughout California with their energetic grooves, all through a grass roots and word of mouth process. Known for their ability to bring a crowd wherever they go, The New Longview has enjoyed sharing the stage with such bands as Ziggy Marley, Robert Randolph, Steel Pulse, Pepper, Ozomatli, Strung Out, ALO, and The Expendables, and has rocked audiences of 3,000 at their largest venues. Bringing a mixture of Rock, Reggae, and Funk, The New Longview has recently caught the attention of radio stations in Northern and Central California. After the addition of their song “High Tide” to San Luis Obispo radio station New Rock 107.3, The New Longview held a spot on the station’s Top 10 for over four months. “High Tide” has also appeared in the radio station’s regular rotation for over a year, a feat which no local band has yet to achieve. The New Longview has also been featured on the Santa Cruz radio station KPIG 107.5 and San Luis Obispo’s Coast 101.3. The recent success of The New Longview is a testament to the potency of their talent. It is proof of their ability to not only create great music, but to bring together people from various musical backgrounds to enjoy a positive, high energy show.
