Eisley is an indie pop band from Tyler, Texas, consisting of four siblings (Chauntelle, Sherri, Stacy and Weston DuPree) and their cousin Garron DuPree.
The band began when Stacy was eight years old. Chauntelle and Sherri wanted to start a band, but wouldn't let their younger sister join. Frustrated, Stacy wrote her own song, and her older siblings were so impressed that they allowed her to join the band. Their brother Weston (two years older than Stacy) later joined the band as the drummer. The DuPrees' good friend and neighbor Jonathan Wilson became the band's bassist in late 2001. Jon decided to step down as bassist in July 2005 during their tour with Hot Hot Heat, maintaining a good relationship with the band. He was replaced as bassist by Garron DuPree, the DuPrees' fifteen year old cousin.
The band's name changed several times in their early years. They began as The Towheads, and were also briefly known as Neverland, and Sinclair. They soon became Moss Eisley, but for fear of legal troubles (because of the similarity to Mos Eisley, a spaceport town in the Star Wars films), they dropped the "Moss" portion of their name and became Eisley.
Eisley was signed to Reprise Records in 2003, and soon after that they opened for Coldplay throughout their US tour and at the V Fest in England. Eisley has also toured with Brand New, Snow Patrol, New Found Glory, Reggie and the Full Effect, Hot Hot Heat, and Switchfoot.
