The Bands of Think Forward Show 2

The Living Wrecks
www.thelivingwrecks.com

The band formed in late 2006 in Baltimore with Shane Wreck, Kevin, Jack,
and a revolving lineup of bass players. Feb 07 sees the addition of our
newest member Alex (one big ball of energy) on bass. They released the
Get Wrecked EP in March, 2007 and are currently working on their
new release, Cheap Heat. They will conquer the world or at least
The Sidebar with their brand of stripped down, fast, loud punk rocknroll…

Formed in the winter of 2004 by Kathleen Wilson on lead vocals/rhythm guitar (former keyboardist of the Shakedowns), Alex Fine on lead guitar(former guitarist of the now defunct Alphabet Bombers), Curt Schmelz on bass (also formerly with the Alphabet Bombers), and Matt Pie on drums, Thee Lexington Arrows blend a unique style of surf rock, rockabilly, and garage rock coming from each of the member's eclectic influences.

OmegaBand
www.omegaband.net
Indie rock, Alt-Rock, Metal, Punk, Garage, Hard Rock, Black Rock, Glam, Psychedelic...The list of subgenres is both never ending and constantly morphing while rock and roll in its orginal definition was something much more basic and primal.
The word rock had a long history within the English language as being a metaphor meaning "to shake up, to disturb or to incite". The word roll was also a popular metaphor which meant having sex as in "roll in the hay" and so on.
Though the variety of influences is infinite, the realm of OmegaBand is within the context of this definition. And while the aim of our message is most definitely to shake up the snow globes of minds that surround us, it is in our live performances that we are most able to illustrate these ideals with the unrestrained passion and sensuality that comes straight from the soul.
Originally formed in 2005, OmegaBand currently consists of Alpha Betts on lyrics and microphones, Kirk Waldroff on bass and Bala Harper on drums. Recently we've had the good fortune of adding Kristin Arant on percussion and background vocals and James Reeves on guitar.


Rainy Day Cacophony

Hi! Rainy Day Cacophony has always been and always will be a musical project featuring the musicality of my friends and i. This congregation of like-minded musical souls has been going on since 1999 and has been documented with various tapes and a couple of cd’s. I took a hiatus with this project due to my involvement with other bands (Guys in the Van and Showcase.) Since 2006 I have been back into it and have been writing a few songs. The first batch is featured on an album called Chainsaw Pop. Which was a solo effort due to crazy work schedules, existential crisis, and life in general. Ask and you shall receive (the album, that is.) Currently Justin Maynard has been playing bass and writing songs with me (Tim Sutton the Korean guitar player responsible for this mess.) Thanks goes to all the awesome bands that have shared a stage, all the kind people that have taken pictures, come out to shows, or just had some encouraging words to say. You know who you are. More events will take place as this project unfolds....


Royal City Riot
www.royalcityriot.com
Formed on Long Island in November 2006, comes a band that plays a wide variety of music that Long Island hasn't heard in years. With ex-members of The Flaming Tsunamis, Stealing Jane, and The Vagabonds and borrowing members from Spider Nick & The Maddogs, Royal City Riot brings a new sound, something fresh. Combing a traditional ska sound fused with a new two-tone edge, then mix with some reggae and rocksteady beats, and out comes Royal City Riot. The band has enjoyed support from a loyal fan base in despite its young age, and also shared the stage with national acts as Big D and the Kids Table, Westbound Train, Whole Wheat Bread, Brain Failure, The Toasters, The Slackers, Satori and The Pietasters. RCR just finished up their first full length album and will embark on an east coast and midwest tour in support of it this summer and fall. So keep your eyes open, and your ears listening…
