Why this name?
Jessie Phillips (originally on bass in 03) came up with the name after seeing signs for Shadow Ridge and a local hangout named The Edge.
Do you play live?
It's the ultimate release... of course. Currently have shows planned in Conway and in Little Rock, members of the group have performed at Vino's, Juanita's, Soundstage, Downtown Music and the Pine Bluff Convention Center as well as various parties/pavillions/talent shows/etc.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Anyway to spread slammin music is great... as far as the "industry", it's taken away from the super rich and overexposed and given to the true artists by letting their music get out more.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely.
Band History:
Formed in Summer 2003, Shadow's Edge consisted of John Battles on lead guitar and vocals, John Booher on drums and backup vocals, Mike Pettingill on rythm guitar and Jessie Phillips on bass. By year's end the members went seperate ways, with Battles/Booher playing in Four Star Asylum and Phillips going to Dementia. FSA dissolved several months later and Dementia began to play shows around the greater LR area. Pettingill was a founding member of Innocence No More in 2006 and Phillips joined late in the year as Dementia was no more. After mild success in INM both in Conway and in Little Rock, the direction of the group was too slow-paced for both and in August of 2007, Shadow's Edge reformed with Booher still on drums and vocals along with Pettingill and Phillips on guitars and vocals. The bass position is still vacant but the group put together songs written both in the original SE as well as time spent in Dementia/INM and recorded new material along with original SE tunes at the top of September.
