Биография

Though the seven members of the emo-pop band Josephine Collective had been in various other screamo bands also called Josephine for a few years before they solidified the 7 layer lineup, the group officially began in 2006. Preferring to use their full names, the hirsute (wtf?) group -- singers Dillon Teague Devoe and Alexander Henry Sandate, guitarists Craig Martin Swank and Damon Peter Phoenix Baltuska, keyboardist Lili Redwine, bassist Colby Michael Logback, and drummer Jared Daniel Bond -- didn't have to play together long, however, before they were discovered by Warner A&R rep John Feldmann, who also had given The Used their break. Josephine Collective released their debut EP, Living, in July 2007, accompanied by a handful of appearances on that year's Warped Festival which included famous teenaged dream Kathy Perry and the Dillingered Escape Hatch. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi P.S. They would then go on to record and release an LP called We Are the Air with Mr. Feldman and Brandon Paddock, right at the fulcrum of the industry's analog-to-digital pivot. They toured regardless, and they had fun. Band members then moved on, one by one, until there were four and then there were no more by 2009. It was a fast but fun ride and this very profile might have you wondering.. is it over yet? Convince Tom to put our myspace back up and we might just have something up our (collective) sleeve for you. ~ not Marisa Brown Robi
