History

Formed in 2005 by five longtime Santa Barbara rockers in search of good times under the guise of quirky, alternative rock. Silk Hedge recorded and released its debut album in mid-2005 and followed the release with shows at Center Stage Theater, Jensen Music, The Neighborhood, and Old Fiesta Days.

More shows and a video shoot for “Loose Shag” followed in 2006, and the band began working on material for a second record. Late for the Launchpad was recorded in 2007 at bassist Craig Costigan’s Garage Majal Studio, and released in August of 2007.
