Youthful, imaginative, energetic, and honest are but a few adjectives that could be used to describe this punk-inspired emo band from Anderson, Indiana. Their powerful lyrics and catchy melodies are used to take over whatever ears strap them on. Short of a Dollar formed in 1999 as a trio consisting of guitarist Dan Eddy, bassist Patrick Caldwell, and drummer Warren Grove. Shortly after this formation, lead singer Bobby Mathison was picked up. In the summer of 2000, the band began to work seriously on writing songs and practicing. It was then that the band realized that drummer Warren Grove's heart was simply not in the music. Warren left the band on good terms with all of the remaining members. Labor Day weekend of 2000 was when drummer Chris Nealis joined the band. And on October 13th, 2000, Short of a Dollar played their very first show at Wesley Free Methodist church, in front of a fairly small audience. A week later, they stepped into the studio to record their first EP, entitled "No Real Excuse." It was completed in a mere day. Needless to say, the quality of the EP was less than outstanding. Short of a Dollar played heaps of shows, including "Stage Fright" at Verizon Wireless, until November 2001, when they stepped into the studio once again, with producer Eric Klee Johnson, to begin recording their first album. In December 2001, bassist Patrick "FAt PAt" Caldwell left the band to pursue other things, and in early January of 2002, Tristan Smith took his place. In May 2002, the CD was completely finished, and released, entitled "Don't Look Back." About 9 months after the recording was finished, the lead guitarist/singer, Bobby Mathison, left the band on good terms. Short of a Dollar then picked up lead singer Josh Vazquez and lead guitarist Eric Farrell. And all is right with the world.Have you performed in front of an audience?we play whenever we can get a show. i think the most memorable show was when we had the honor of playing warped tour.
