A band called ME is singer/songwriter (Joseph Scalero) and his five piece band that's dedicated to a diverse sound ranging from experimental to folk to pop & rock. We even include the kitchen sink (sometimes literally).
Why this name?
The name "ME" is simple & memorable. That's the primary reason for the name. Band names are over rated. For example the band "The Police" was a good name because the band was great. They could have just as well been called the "The Fireman". If the band sucks it doesn't matter how cool your name is. If the band is good, all of a sudden the name is hipper.
Do you play live?
We play live mostly in Northern California. Usually in our home town of Modesto. Though we also play gigs in San Francisco & Sacramento, both 90 miles away. We're currently forming a band with two members from Sacramento so we're going to be playing there more.
If you make it big..?
I'd give a lot of money to charity (Honestly) and of course buy a home over looking the Golden Gate Bridge.
