The Lives Of Famous Men
Posted by Rob Ortenzi on 11-Jan-08 @ 06:20 PM
HQ: Portland, ORNOW PLAYING: Rehearsal EP (myspace.com/thelivesoffamousmen) THE STORY SO FAR: Although the Lives Of Famous Men reside in the Northwest, the band cut their teeth in the rugged terrain of Anchorage, Alaska. But according to vocalist Daniel Hall, it wasn't the bitter cold or lack of sunlight that inspired the quintet to experiment with their emo-fused sound: It was their former bands. "After playing shows together in a number of different genre bands for several years, the five of us got together and decided to write music without the borders we were used to having," he says. WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: How many contemporary rockers cite classical composers and jazz musicians as influences? Not many, which is reason enough to give TLOFM a listen. Plus, their OCD kicks in when it comes to building a fanbase. "We try to be as one-on-one with people as possible, whether that means a conversation or two after a show," says Hall, "or spending hours a day writing people back on MySpace." [CF] YOU LIKE?
