Grant Cogswell – Unsuspecting audiences have been startled, freaked out and cracked up in recent years by the experience of going to see some band they know (the list of bands Pleaseeasaur has shared a bill with is endless and very diverse) only to find sometime in the evening the phenomenon of a variously costumed, singing, dancing JP Hasson getting all up in their grill.
Kinney Lewis – NadaMucho.com isn’t known for its work in the blues field, but it is known for good taste in a fairly wide variety of music. I will be up front that I am not an enormous “modern”blues fan, nor do I pretend to know much about the scene, but as someone that has played guitar for most of my life, I have listened to a good chunk of the blues and I can certainly appreciate and respect the foundation it laid for a lot of the music that followed it and ripped it off.
Steve Takeuchi was the singer/songwriter for Mayor West, a local alt-country band that garnered big local success on the strength of just a single EP, sharing bills with the likes of Bobby Bare Jr. and Split Lip Rayfield in the band’s first (and apparently only) year in existence.
Matt (Duss, guitar & lead vox) and I (Stacey Lester, bass) used to play together in a band called the Visitors. We recorded an album but never released it. A while later, I was on vacation with a friend who used to drum in that band and I pulled out the old album and listened to it. I felt there was still a lot of potential in the songs, so I emailed Matt and asked him if we wanted to do a new project.
