Amplified Heat are based in Austin but hail originally from Houston via Colombia. In 1995 brothers Jim and Chris formed Blues Condition (the name taken from Cream’s Disraeli Gears album) in honor of their newly-acquired influences (Lightnin’ Hopkins, Hound Dog Taylor, John Mayall). The idea was to "amp-up" the blues playing it at louder volumes and in a frenetic manner. This split their audiences (those who embraced their style and those who thought they were bastardizing the genre). To clarify their musical intentions the band decided to change its name to Amplified Heat (another Cream reference). This change made all the difference. Austin's Red River community has embraced them whole-heartedly. Their Arclight Records debut 'In For Sin' showcases the band's loud, intense take on the blues.

Looking for national booking and management.
