Flight 409

Flight 409 formed in 2001 and quickly became a fixture in the Fresno music scene. From rocking out on cardboard guitars to nation-wide tours with bands like Saosin, Poison The Well, and The Used, this group has proven that they are a force to be reckoned with. Eager and ambitious, they waisted no time recording a demo, playing at high schools, and passing out CD's. Almost immediately they were headlining in front crowds of over 300 people. Their drive and dedication landed them several dates on Vans Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos tour. In 2008, after spending over a year in the studio, Flight 409 released the full length album, "We Don't Dance" featuring the hit single, "Operator" on the independent label Something In The Water, U.S., and Radtone Records, Japan. The record has received much praise from fans and promoters alike for their catchy crowd-pleasing melodies, hard hitting guitars, unique instrumentation, and solid drumming; coupled with their energetic heart-felt live performances, Flight 409 should not be missed. Recently settling in to their final member changes, the band now consists of Andy Thornton (vocals), Justin Wiley (guitar), Brett Johns (drums), Kyle Baker (guitar), and Shaffer Young (bass). Flight 409 has been through a lot but continues to move forward. Determined to spend their life on the road, be sure to look out for Flight 409 as they head to your town.
