The North Texas band Fishing for Comets is made up of Camille Cortinas (vocals/guitar), Sam Romero (guitar),Aaron Thomas (drums), and Gary Rivers (bass/melodica/accordian). Although, as a duo, Cortinas and Romero have been writing together since 2002, this latest incarnation of their work has added new life and textures to the pallet. At the 2005 & 2006 Dallas Observer Music Awards the band won the award for Best Folk Acoustic act and received a nomination for Best Female Vocalist (Camille Cortinas)two years in a row. 2006, the band will see the release of its first full length album "Scattered Among the Archipelago", recorded at Purple Pear Studios,and also compose original music for a documentary by Joe Willix entitled " 5, 6, 7, 8...A Year in the Life of the Coppell House of Dance". Good times to come! "Although super-positive girlie pop usually makes us want to run and hide, it's not hard to like Dallas band Fishing for Comets. Camille Cortinas is one of few people who can pull off hap-hap-happy lyrics. Why? Because we believe her". Hunter Hauk- Quick Magazine
