14 years beyond their initial formation, Austin-based trio Amplified Heat are still destroying live sets and demolishing stereo systems. The group’s high-intensity brand of rock and onstage energy has far from dwindled over the years and still retains the original Ortiz brother lineup – Jim Ortiz (guitar, lead vocals), Gian Ortiz (bass, backing vocals) and Chris Ortiz (drums).
Amplified Heat’s performing Sunday December 3rd – 1:00am at the Sahara Lounge as part of Saturnalia Festival and you can check out their new single, “Big Black Smoke” from the upcoming album Madera – due for release early next year.
