Malbec is a Los Angeles-based rock–hip-hop–pop band, formed in 2003. They claim to be one of the first few bands to integrate sequenced hip-hop beats with modern pop stylings; their musical style includes influences from Southern hip hop, Britpop, classical compositions and folk music.[1]
They have appeared on a number of TV shows and movie soundtracks, including One Tree Hill, Flight of the Phoenix, Long Way Round, The Omen, Palo Alto and most recently in the episode "Chuck vs. the Colonel" in NBC's Chuck. They are also to be featured on Fox's upcoming show VIP Passport, Kyle XY, Dirty Sexy Money, My Best Friend's Girl. Malbec also recorded "Given the Times" in Simlish for the 2007 Electronic Arts game The Sims: Pet Stories 2.
They have toured with Mute Math, Mat Kearney, One Republic, Under the Influence of Giants, Phantom Planet, Rock Kills Kid, Copeland, The Knux, and Tally Hall.
Malbec has released two EPs, working with producers Richard Gibbs and Rick Parker and drummer and songwriter Tony Fagenson. Malbec released a self-produced full-length Dawn of Our Age in March 2008.
Malbec are currently releasing a series of five EPs called the Answering Machine EPs. They are writing, recording and releasing a new EP every month for five months, starting December 2008.
