Welp.. it goes like this. Dru Hensley and Adam Rolfes started playing together in early summer of 2003. It started off with them playing some original songs that Dru had wrote over the years. The style was pretty similar to Dashboard Confessional. They then progressed to write more songs and thought it was time to expand the sound from an acoustic duo to a full blown band. An add on www.comomusic.com brought about the hard hitting beats of drummer Matt Turner. With the new addition, the band was complete. Adam started writing more music and lyrics. Dru continued to write music and lyrics. After a few shows around Columiba, Missouri, the band decided to record the recently released "Thirty Minutes and a Phone Call Away..." Showing their ever progressing musical ability, the lastest cd from Sunday Evening Drive is currently under review by Vagrant Records. So listen to some music on here, stop by www.sundayeveningdrive.tk and sign the guestbook, and continue rocking out! Thanks for all of your support!
Why this name?
The original band name "Waiting for Yesterday" was already taken so we thought of something everyone could relate to. Sunday Evening Drive refers to leaving friends and love ones behind as you head back to school, home, or whatever. Take it as you see it apply to yourself.
Do you play live?
We love to play live. Right now we are building an ever growing fan base around Columbia, MO. We are looking to head out on the road in early to mid 2004.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It is a great way for unsigned musicians to get their music out there and heard by a wider variety of people. As far as the signed bands, they have tons of money anyway, so why not just be happy that the kids are enjoying your music?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course. We love playing live shows and if a major label can get our music out to more people who will enjoy it, then we are there!
