Project

Icon for hire

Biography: The band was formed in Decatur, Illinois by vocalist Ariel and guitarist Shawn Jump. When the two met in 2007, Ariel, upon discovering that Jump played guitar, initiated a musical collaboration between the two of them. When the need for a drummer arose, Jump recruited Adam Kronshagen, an old friend he had held jam sessions with as a member of the local party scene (Jump was six months clean at the time).^[1] Bassist Joshua Davis joined and the band was officially formed in November of that year, choosing their name as a satirical comment on the state of the music industry.^[2]The band played their first show in a local club before an audience of family and friends, who gave them a positive reception even though, by the band's own admission, they gave a terrible performance. Ariel has been quoted as saying of the performance, "Our passion for music was there; whatever we lacked in sound we made up for with enthusiasm." Over the next two years, the band toured throughout the Midwest and released twoEPs, the self-titled Icon for Hire EP in 2008 and The Grey EP in 2009.^[3] The same year as the latter release, Davis left the band.

Ghost town band

Biography: GHOST TOWN is a four-piece electro-rock band from Los Angeles, California.  Formed in late 2012, they have exploded in the rock/electronic music scene. Before December of 2012, Ghost Town's members were unknown. Their basis was that their fans should like them for their music and not for their appearances. This anonymity fueled people's curiosity. In December of 2012, they released a photo of thier faces with censors covering their eyes. This sparked a riot on their Facebook so they released their actual photo. Not long after, they decided to host a live stream of them talking to fans on the streaming website of Stickam. People from all over the world joined them and listened in. This soon became a weekly stream; however, Stickam was shut down thus not allowing for broadcasts.Summer of 2013, Ghost Town was booked to open for the Journey's Noise Tour with Mariana's Trench, Air Dubai, and DJ PROTECTOR. This nationwide tour allowed for the band to spread their music out to the nation.

The Script

Members in this band are: Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, Glen Power

Biography: The Script are an Irish trio whose music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. This is a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R'n'B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives. It's got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 versus Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley. "Irish people have soul," according to Danny. "It comes from generations of pain, and generations of understanding emotion to be able to physically get that in a solid sound."

Biography/origins:

The band saw its beginnings in emcee/vocalist Mike Shinoda's small bedroom studio, where he and Delson recorded the band's first material in 1996. The two had attended high school together, where they met the band's drummer, Rob Bourdon. Shinoda hooked up with DJ Joseph Hahn while studying illustration at Art CenterCollege in Pasadena. Meanwhile, attending UCLA, Delson shared an apartment with bassist Phoenix, who left the band after college and returned a year later. The final piece of the puzzle was singer Chester Bennington, a transplanted Arizona native who started making records when he was 16. "When I was two, I used to run around singing Foreigner songs--there's tapes of me doing that...Since I learned how to talk I've been telling everybody I was gonna grow up to be a singer." laughs Bennington.
