So I'm kind of unhappy about last night's Super Bowl. The Arizona Cardinals should of won! How more greedy can the Pittsburg Steelers be. They've already won enough, the Cards haven't won for 86 years! Of course, they should of not stopped the clock after the Cards final touch down. We know who the referees wanted to win. =p But whatever, it wasn't my team, so congrats to the Pittsburg Steelers.
Okay so I have a new favorite band. They're outta Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. They go by the names of Daniel, Stephen, Nathan, Steve and they make up the band called Eleven Past One.
(l-r: Steve, Stephen, Daniel and Nathan)
These guys found me back on December 10th (I sound like a loser for knowing the day, but I still have the message they sent me to check out their band on myspace.) Know you're thinking to yourself, Eleven Past One, where in the world did they came up with that? Well I got the story to tell ya.
"All about ElevenPastOne!! They are a Canadian band out of the small town of Bowmanville, Ontario, CANADA. Growing up music was a big part of each member’s life since they were little. They are all classically trained and pretty much know whats up! Starting off with Brothers Daniel Richter (vocals) and Stephen Richter (guitar) the boys would jam for fun and write songs of there own. Dan had been singing before he could talk while Stephen studied flamenco guitar under Professor Ruban Diaz. During high school at Bowmanville High School there was a locker fire in one of the halls. The whole school was evacuated. This is how Stephen Richter and Steve Patenaude (drums) came together. The two had been in the same class and had nothing to do due to the fire and so they went back to Steve's house where he had drums and guitars. Stephen, being a guitar player, grabbed the guitar and Steve, being a drummer, got on the drums and at that moment there was musical chemistry as they call it. The next week Steve went over to Stephens’s house met Dan and a band was formed. Dan finished university at UFT with a bachelors of music and next was the hunt for a bassist. After jamming with a few bass players finally the right one came across the band...a childhood friend of Stephen's...Nathan Meima. It was just the cherry on top of everything. After Nathan was introduced to the band, the band started writing music together, playing local shows and things really started to come together. The band was first known as "Daniel Richter Band" but wanted something catchier. One night the band heard that they were going on a tour across the states and needed a new band name. Each member of the band, for some reason, had been seeing the time 1:11 frequently which was very weird. The band came together to think of a name but couldn’t come up with one and then they looked at the clock. Can you guess what the time was? 1:11. After that they knew it was a sign...they would be named ElevenPastOne. Now the band is getting ready to take off for a tour starting mid Feb traveling from Miami all the way to California with band manager, Sean Haden. The band is excited and can not wait for the experience of a lifetime."
That was taken off from their myspace blog. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, I'm the street leader of the New England Eleven Past One Street Team. Add it to your myspace. www.myspace.com/11past1newenglandst . And check out the bands' myspace at www.myspace.com/elevenpastonemusic . I've been chatting with two out of the four members for the past month (Stephen and Steve), and let me tell you, these guys are wicked down to earth. I have received a few comments from Daniel, but I don't know what's up with Nathan. But I bet he's as chill as the other three are. If you have your doubts of what I say, talk to them yourself because they love talking to their fans! Sadly they're not coming my way during their tour, but I hope to see them perform really soon! So please, please, please check these guys out and take a long listen to their music because I don't think you'll be disappointed. I sure am not!!!!!
