Status Green

The story and sound of Status Green began long before the bands formation in 2005. Growing up in New Jersey to a healthy soundtrack of classic rock and left to spend their adolescence in the windy valley of influence that lies between New York City and Asbury Park, the end result couldn’t be more fitting. One part the glory days of the E Street Band and another part the poppy fuzz of Blondie, one can't help but be reminded of the often overlooked yet wildly influential moments in music history when the filth and fury of rock and roll made for strange bedfellows with the sights and sounds of pop. It is these recurring scenes and sounds that shape Status Green.
Like all classic Rock & Roll folk tales, Status Green formed from a drug-induced summer full of daydreams and motorcycle diaries. Lou Montesano returned home from his travels inspired and went right to work, rallying his childhood friends around some very big ideas. Playing shows up and down the East Coast on their own terms, it wasn't long before they began to see that they were on to something, that something was happening. In three short years, Status Green came from local obscurity to sell out The Stone Pony and the now defunct CBGB's. The band recorded and self released their first album, and opened for Bon Jovi after winning a tri state listener poll on 95.5 WPLJ. |
