Drag the River is an alternative country band hailing from Fort Collins, Colorado, United States.
History
The band formed in 1996 when members Chad Price and Jon Snodgrass recorded 20 or so songs which were released as demos in 2000. All the members of the band come from a punk rock background. Price and ex-member Karl Alvarez have both been active in ALL since the 1990s. In 2002, J.J. Nobody of The Nobodys joined the band. Later, in 2004 Casey Prestwood of Hot Rod Circuit and Dave Barker of Pinhead Circus joined and picked up the steel & lead guitar, and drums, respectively. On March 8, 2006, it was announced that the band had signed to Suburban Home Records.[1] They toured across the US in May 2006 with Koufax, Cordero, and Tim Barry of Avial.[2] It's Crazy was released on on June 6, 2006.[3] In August and September 2006, they toured across the US with I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House, and then appeared at The Fest.[4][5] From November 2006, Suburban Home Records began reissuing the band's back catalogue.[6] The band was also nominated for best new song for "Modern Drunkard" by the Spanish magazine La Movida. The band announced they were breaking up in 2007,[7] however they reunited and released "You Can't Live This Way" in 2008. They continue to play shows as a duo (Price & Snodgrass) and often as a full band.
