A Band Called Life biography, A Band Called Life discography
Nominated in the Freddie Awards category for Best Reward in a Frequent Flier Program!This talented and musically tight foursome inflicts no pain on the ears or minds of listeners.From ballads to thrash, they do it all, and do it well.The ominous beats Tony powerfully pounds onto the drums keep heads banging and crowds dancing.From the sound of it, one could imagine him having an extra set of arms in order to play as complexly as he does.Dark Kent's pocket oriented style and huge tone are the rivets on the track that keeps the train running smoothly.His barefooted playing style shows that he is grounded and at one with both the sound and the audience.Call them brothers in spirit, cousins in life, and a family bonded by rock and roll.BAND CALLED PAIN is fresh, new, kinetic, energetic, accomplished, unexpected, and really, really good.They've also played larger gigs such as the Talking House Productions Special Industry Showcase, which included performances by members of Metallica, Guns and Roses, Velvet Revolver and Linkin Park.Click here for PDF Promo Kit (3.How would one describe the vocal styling and presence of Allen Richardson?Maybe the difficulty of the answer itself serves as the most fitting testimony.Meaning that uniqueness is hard to describe and is something that should be witnessed for oneself.Allen's soulful and commanding voice serves notice that there is more than one way to stir a pit.Early on, a steady diet of Iron Maiden, Dio, and Metallica began to craft his idea of what he wanted in a band.From a guitarists point of view it was the genius of Jimi Hendrix and the detuned stylings of Pantera's Dimebag Darrell that took his playing and vision to the next level.Shaun Bivens is the embodiment of rock and roll.Over the years Shaun has also become an accomplished producer, with credits on albums for several major labels.The rock influenced, monstrous soundscapes created by producer Hank Shocklee and the Bomb Squad (Public Enemy) were instrumental in developing Shaun's sensibilities as a producer.Piano lessons as a child...My Mother set the tone for my appreciation of the arts and for that I'll always be thankful.Enough on that, lets zoom ahead a bit shall we?The time was fall, 1989 and I was about to begin my junior year at Penn State University studying finance.Realizing that I was neglecting my soul, as well as being incredibly bored, I gave up banking and reembraced my first love which I had turned my back on 3 years prior.Instead of bass clarinet, the weapon of choice this time around was bass guitar.The final years of school my grades may have suffered, but my chops and more importantly, my happiness surfaced.I've been living here doing my thang ever since.Over the years I've played many a gig with many a character.So if you're down, get in touch with me for a gig, recording or whatever and maybe we can make something happen.Perhaps best known for his outrageous and constantly changing drum kits.Tony attended his first live rock concert when he went to see Motley Crue at the Arco Arena in Sacramento.Tommy became my first major drum influence.Besides Van Halen and Motley Crue, I saw so many great shows as a kid.Being in the crowd, under the lights with the smoke and the sound.The goal was to be one of the greats, the guy that everyone talks about when they leave the show.Guitarist Shaun Bivens wears a Mohawk, a wallet chain studded with dice, and black nail polish.Lead singer Allen Richardson keeps a permanent five o'clock shadow and has the slurry drawl of Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland.In fact, the only thing that binds the members of A BAND CALLED PAIN with the backpackers on Hiero is their race and their shared resentment for mainstream record companies.Hiero emcee turned mogul Tajai approached the band at a show two years ago."He said, 'That's a good record, man, what are you guys doing with it?"We were like, 'We're just sitting on it right now.It turned out to be a smart move.It had garnered a large fan base playing the Rooster's Roadhouses of the world; its video could hold its own against any recorded band performance on VH1 ; the band is getting spins on 107.In a former life, Bivens was actually a rapper; he cut a deal with RCA under the stage name Chocolate Chip.Still, Bivens and Richardson are wary.Richardson and Bivens formed their first garage band when they were ten.Dubbing themselves High Voltage, they played Iron Maiden covers at ten times the speed, using two congas and an ice chest for a drum set.Ghetto Cyrano , as though it were just another rap album.It didn't get established until we left the label and they signed Musiq Soulchild."Fella got a distribution deal with Def Jam in 1997."Especially when you're on a label where the rapper is the biggest rapper in the world, and you have 22 acts that never came out.Richardson wrote the lyrics, which deal heavily with emotional catharsis, while Bivens produced all the tracks.Fella, and Richardson says he had to start thinking of Plan Bs.They recruited Providence to hold down drum duties, started recording, and went through a string of bass players before settling on Dean.Seen live, the band is stunning.Richardson hides behind a pair of aviator sunglasses that, when coupled with his lyrics, hark to Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.Dean insists that won't be too hard.Sociologically, because we're all brothers doing this.You know how that works, man, it's like we're the Eminem of the rock world."Fella days he played one of his early rock demos for Damon Dash, who couldn't believe it was the same person singing.Z, he would have wanted to do something with it," he said.This October A BAND CALLED PAIN will open for Buckcherry and Smashing Pumpkins at the Verizon Wireless Center in Indianapolis.The group is getting plenty of mileage on its own.Broken Dreams, coming out on July 3, Bivens wants people to know that he and his band are ready to bring something fresh to the scene.The band is new to a lot of people so give me a little background about how you got
together?We went through about four bass players before we ended
up with Bryan, and that was it.Metal band with two other cousins, and we were
listening to Iron Maiden and KISS and stuff like that.As far as writing was concerned, we just hit a wall.Do you mind if I send this over to these people at HBO?Do you have any plans to get out on the road?We would like to open for another band in smaller venues, just to get out and get our feet wet.The show is its own beast, outside of the record.Who would be your ideal band to tour with?Instead of using a drum head for the front of our kick
drum, we use a piece of Reversa Screen.So for different songs, whatever the topic may be, we
can put any footage we want on there.My drummer and his drum tech are always coming up with
crazy stuff!They build these crazy, elaborate kits.What are your goals as a band right now?Our music is stuff that you can sing along to without getting polyps on your throat.BAND CALLED PAIN play dark, brooding music influenced by Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath and, perhaps, Godflesh and Disturbed.For us, it is the song that matters most.BAND CALLED PAIN were formed by Bivens and his cousin, singer Allen Anthony in the late 90s.The group was rounded out by bassist Bryan Dean and drummer Tony Providence.SOUNDS LIKE: Equal parts hard rock and metal, heavy on the riffs.ABCP, and he was floored when he saw them.They joined forces, bringing an end to a revolving cast of bass players.The role of bass can vary greatly, but first and foremost I try to lock it down with the drummer because that's what gets the train rolling, especially in a live setting.It doesn't always need to be prominent, but certainly noticeable.GEAR BOX: Dean plays a Lakland Deluxe 5 string tunes ACGCF, and a Fender Jazz Bass.My initial reaction to this band was less than enthusiastic, but over time they've grown on me.We have made an agreement with the trusted payment processor located in USA.HomeWho We Are2007 HighlightsRiver GearNotes from FriendsMay We Suggest....NASCAR events, biker events, community festivals as well as other places and do what we do.We just enjoy being with people.We bring all of our toys and give
all we have for those around us.We ask nothing of our hosts except
that we get to be around people.From the music to the compassion for all of our friends.The purpose is the same.So come on and join us however you wish.Do something to let friends know that life is
worth living and that there is always hope.Just like a mighty RIVER.This artist has not uploaded any music.Click on one of the albums below for more info.Interact with other fans of A Band Called Horse.Start a new discussion now!Embed these shows on your other sites (myspace, blogs etc...Interact with other fans of A Band Called "O".Start a new discussion now!Recent exploits ( a day in the life of....Recent exploits ( a day in the life of....This is not really a band.His influences are the Cure.This young man has so much talent and do much to give its about time that someone gave him the break he deserves.We'll take care of the rest.If you sign up or log in you can get access to advanced del."Bookmark this at My Yahoo!"You must be logged in if you want blip.This vid is not about me showcasing for a change its about giving talented bands who are unsigned some sort of recognition, hopefully that leads to something more fruitful for them.The guy is called Marco Abyss, he is the drummer for a black metal rock band in the Philippines called archaic argot.He calls himself A Band Called Kinderfield, and thats the title he hates it when you sh ...The guy is called Marco Abyss, he is the drummer for a black metal rock band in the Philippines called archaic argot.His influences are the Cure.This young man has so much talent and do much to give its about time that someone gave him the break he deserves.It looks like no one has posted a comment yet.This helps us prevent spam (Get more info)."We've got a great service for great shows.The world is fundamentally changing as it becomes easier for people to create their own video."Or, check out our Help Section and FAQ for help using the blip.
