Standing up for what we believe in.
Band/artist history
We've played together forever. We have been through a lot already as both best friends and musicians. We used to write bad music and loved it. We played for 6 years in a basement before anyone outside of our close friends and family saw us. For over two years now since we got our first show we have lived a dream. We are always trying to make the dream last longer, but we'd still wake up happy if it ended now.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
It is our focus, and it is what we love to do. We place a major emphasis on putting together a show that fans wont forget. We have a dedicated lighting and sound crew that works hard with us to make it all happen. The Wake Crew rolls in, gets it done right, and rolls out as quickly as we came.
Your musical influences
People compare us to other bands all the time. Most of the time it makes us cringe. I think it must be everyone's natural reaction to music...what does it sound like? We do it too. But, to enhance understanding of our approach, we'll tell you what's in our cd players now...Refused, Snapcase, Dillinger Escape Plan, Not Waving But Drowning, Blackstar, J5, DJ Shadow, and our favorite local and regional acts from hip-hop to metal.
What equipment do you use?
We used to use Zoom Rhythm trak 234's, but we now have an Akai MPC 2000XL. Consider yourself warned.
Anything else?
We want to thank our fans and the people in our lives who continue to support our dream. Our friends and family are essential to our existence. We will continue to work to the bone to make this happen.
