Damiera

Performing taut, muscular, but intricate indie rock and roll within the mold of In the Drive-In and Braid, Buffalo, NY’s Damiera will be the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Dave Raymond and guitarist Matthew Kipp, who created the band from your ashes of the previous project, Group, which split up in early 2005. Wanting to get their fresh band off the bottom without wasting period, Raymond and Kipp recruited drummer Brad McRae, previously using the Florida-based Sleeping Lady Drowning, and started writing materials while looking for a bass participant. By enough time Damiera experienced they were prepared to record, they still hadn’t discovered a bassist these were happy with, therefore their friend Tag Henry, vocalist using the group Queen Town Nights, volunteered to try out around the group’s self-titled debut EP, released in past due 2005. After Damiera lay out on the tour having a short-term bass participant, Henry thought we would leave Queen Town Nights and sign up for Damiera full-time. Nevertheless, the band’s solid lineup didn’t last lengthy, as Kipp switched in his resignation; getting a fresh lead guitarist became a intimidating task, and after auditioning over 100 music artists, Damiera discovered New Orleans indigenous Rock Whittington by way of a publishing on the web. After woodshedding a fresh set of materials for two a few months, Damiera agreed upon with Tamerlane Information and documented their first complete record, M(US)ic, by using manufacturer Jayson DeZuzio. Nevertheless, before the record could reach shops, Tamerlane went of business. Familiar with dealing with obstructions right now, Damiera released a promotional tour in any case, and performed over 200 displays in 2006, getting together a 1,000-device limited pressing of M(US)ic. The music group had no difficulty selling all of the discs, and Similar Vision Records agreed upon Damiera, offering M(US)ic its initial official discharge in early 2007. Although group received generally positive reviews because of their record, Damiera abruptly announced in June (with a message on the MySpace web page) that they’d split up, basically stating “we established an objective and discovered it.”
