Pomeroy...Quite simply, this is the
one band you need to see this year. Formed in 1998 by a handful of
idealistic musicians, Pomeroy fuses musical genres with a seamless
patchwork of hip-hop, rock, funk and soul. It is Pomeroy's catchy
songwriting and infectious hooks that provide a tantalizing picture of
who they are... Five individuals bringing distinct influences together
to create a unique and memorable sound.
Matt Marron (guitar/vocals) and David Fairbanks (vocals / percussion)
started Pomeroy with a three song demo that was recorded in a garage
studio during a weekend getaway to Los angeles. As soon as they returned
home to Manhattan, Kansas, the two shopped around for a rhythm section,
and with a bit of good fortune Pomeroy became complete when they met
Dean Hopkins (bass) and Chris Davis (drums). The band soon recorded
their first CD and set out on the road, and thus Pomeroy was born.
After a couple years of relentless touring, Pomeroy sat down to record
their second album. Coccoon Club quickly became a success, selling over
8,000 copies in the Midwest alone, and with this also came the fifth
piece of the puzzle, Tyson Leslie (keys/guitar). On the strength of "Coccoon
Club", Pomeroy opened a sea of new markets across the countryand paved
the way for their third release, "IDENTITY". As an EP, Identity was
unveiled in 2003, lauding Pomeroywith new found respect from fans and
critics alike. Identity has been touted as the closest thing to
capturing the energy of Pomeroy Live...and the live show is what Pomeroy
fans live for. Recently, Pomeroy decided to add 4 live tracks to the
Identity EP, to satisfy the demand for their live recordings.
"Identity" now includes their popular rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Sir
Duke", along with a previously unreleased recording of their newest
song, "Soundtrack". As a full length, "Identity" was re-released
nationally in June of 2004 through ADA , a division of Warner Music
Group.
The national release of Identity promises to turn the Pomeroy outbreak
into a full-blown epidemic, as the band continues to capture new
audiences across the country and the momentum begins to really build
around this epic live experience.
Pomeroy has shared the stage with The Dave Matthews Band, Nelly,
Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, 311, Sister Hazel, Christina Aguilera and
many more.
