The Recliners
The Recliners is a ska band straight out of Redmond, Washington. Check 'em out at their shows, you'll have a lot of fun!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Beginning in the summer of 2002, The Recliners began as a 4 piece ska band, with one trombone. Soon they got a trumpet player and started playing around their school whenever they could. Not too long after that, they got a saxaphone player, but he couldnt play with them for too long. After 6 months as a 5 piece, they have just recently gotten a new saxaphone player, and have begun to record their debut EP, "Shut Up and Dance"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play live whenever we can, usually at Ground Zero in Bellevue. We love it, and one of our favorite moments was playing with The Ted Dancin' Machine at Earthriver Records in Seattle.
