Dawn's Darkness
Dawn's Darkness is a highly eclectic, original indie pop/rock project featuring both male (Dors Ward) and female (Jordana Kocher) lead vocals, founded in September 2007.
The three songs featured in this first demo are penned by Jordana, but all the members of the band are lyricists or composers and much co-writing is expected in the future. We will be building our repertoire considerably with original songs spanning the genre of rock. Expect to hear everything from alt-rock and blues to epic rock and power ballads.
We are currently searching for the right person to replace our talented lead guitarist, Erik Burch, as he must unfortunately return to Iraq with the National Guard early next year. We are also seeking a rhythm guitarist. Please contact us if interested.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
After modest success (and a #1 hit on the Soundclick.com pop/rock chart) with her previous musical project, , singer-songwriter Jordana Kocher formed Dawn's Darkness, a local band with the goal of performing live shows in the Portland metro area. Their inaugural demo CD, When I Fall, is Jordana's first attempt at production, recording, and mixing and has been a wonderful learning experience.
The other band members are:
Dors - Male lead vocals
Erik - Guitar/backup vocals
Rollie - Bass
Troy - Drums
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We are based in Vancouver, Washington, just north of Portland, Oregon. As soon as we have rounded out our lineup, we will be preparing to perform live gigs regularly in the Portland metro area; we hope to release a full album by late 2008.
