Philo-san (fye-low sahn) emerges from suburban Detroit playing an eclectic style of original retro-rock. The members of Philo-san may have very diverse influences but they come together to create danceable songs in genres including rock, pop, reggae, swing, rockabilly, and surf. Although the band strives to create its own sound, there remains a sense of familiarity among those who have experienced their music. With funky basslines and versatile drumming forming the foundation, quirky guitar licks and soaring melodies cap off the sound that is redefining Detroit Rock.
Forming out of life-long friendships, members of Philo-san have now become committed musicians as well. Growing up together, bassist Mike Boettner, guitarist Ralph Mangeno, and drummer Tim Cooper have witnessed each others progression first hand.
Creating, learning, and performing together, members of Philo-san are constantly pushing themselves and crafting new sounds. With a solid set of original songs completed and an abundance of new material in the making, the band is now looking to take their show on the road to bigger and better things.
In January 2007, Philo-san will release their debut album, Mind Over Manners, featuring eleven original songs. Stay tuned, this is just the beginning!

| Hey people! Big thanks for everyone's support at our last couple of shows! Lately, we've been busy writing and getting a handful of new songs ready to record in the studio. We're shooting to have them recorded by mid-summer, then we'll be getting cd's duplicated shortly after that. We'll be updating as things progress, so check back for more info and show announcements. |
