South San Gabriel is an alternative country band based in Denton, Texas.
History[edit]
The band is named after the San Gabriel river fork north of Austin, Texas. The group consists of the same players from Centro-matic with the inclusion of guests, but focuses on more introspective and subdued offerings from their repertoire. Lead singer Will Johnson, has alternated between the two projects, while also releasing solo albums.
The first South San Gabriel album, Songs/Music, was credited to Centro-Matic on its US release (it was credited to South San Gabriel on the Netherlands release on Munich Records).[1]
South San Gabriel released Welcome, Convalescence and The Carlton Chronicles – Not Until the Operation's Through in 2003 and 2005, respectively.[2][3][4]
In 2008 the band released Dual Hawks a split double-album with Centro-matic.[5][6]
