Bozeman-based Alter Ego was initiated in 1999 and within milliseconds was off and
running. Playing bar-gigs for the next few years gained the band's
reputation throughout the region as one of the best cover bands
around, but it wasn't until the last few years that Alter Ego
began to mesh move full steam ahead. With a lot of hard work in Big Al's
studio, "Fairytales From the Wasteland" was concocted. Alter
Ego's recognition and confidence elevated. The band began playing more shows,
and getting air time on the local radio stations, such as "The Eagle 104.7
and 105.7," where the band's original songs were sandwiched between the likes of
Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. In 2002, the band received a spot on the
local stage of the music festival "Rockin' The Rivers." Alter Ego put on
a great show and was invited back the folllowing year. Alter Ego made four more
appearances, and, in 2009, was bumped up to the oh-so-glorious "Main
Stage." Later in 2009, they signed a contract for the song "Fairytales
From the Wasteland" to be played during the pre-game radio show at
Montana State University home football games. This brought even more
widespread appeal. In 2010, Alter Ego was the performing band at the Gallatin
County Fairgrounds "4th of July Fireworks Show" sponsored by the Lions
Club. Despite a rainstorm, Alter Ego rock hard. In
2011, Alter Ego has been playing gigs at local bars including The Molly
Brown, The Belgrade Lounge, JR's, Mine Shaft and the Filling Station.
Their newest album, "Redemption at The Great Divide" (below) is dropping now!
