More or Less
09/05/05
Alex is home on May 18!! Jamming will commence the next day and not stop for weeks! We are in the middle of planning a tour with Blame It On Rio from Fort Wayne, Indiana for August 18-28. We are super pumped to be heading out on the road for the first time to gain some exposure and to have a hell of a grand time. If you live in Western Canada then look for us because we'll be playing near you I'm sure!
See you all in the summer at More Or Less's comeback show!!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The group's first show was in a high school Battle of the bands in 2003. after several months and a couple more shows, the bassist was dropped from the band and Chad took over (originally just on vox). He now shares vocals with Alex. Ben was added to the band when they wanted to record some piano in an 8-song basement recording. They decided to keep Ben because he was tall and they wanted to boost the average height of the band. With the name More Or Less they've played lots of shows and have written many new songs. 2005/2006 will be dedicated to touring and writing some good music. The band is now Alex, Chad, Mark and Ben.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We try to make our shows fun and filled with energy... except for when we are all mad at each other because some of us are drunk and can't play or if some of us ran away with our girlfriend, or if we forget to pick someone up, or if we are late or if we broke each other's instruments.
