Longwave

Taking influence from shoegaze pioneers and post-punk icons, Longwave got their start in 1999 when Steve Schiltz (vocals/guitar), Shannon Ferguson (guitar), Dave Marchese (bass), and Mike James (drums) congregated in a small New York studio to record demo material. Gigs in Lower Manhattan sharpened the group's sound, which melded sweeping melodies with touches of space rock. Endsongs marked Longwave's proper debut in fall 2000. It was an impressive first record, full of lush string arrangements and heavy guitars that helped differentiate the band from such New York City contemporaries as the Strokes. Two years later, Longwave displayed a darker disposition on the Day Sleeper EP. Within a week of its release, the Strokes' manager asked Longwave to play three dates with his stylish five-piece, and Longwave's solid performance quickly landed them a permanent opening spot for the rest of the tour.What followed was the dreamy williwaw of The Strangest Things, released in March 2003. Another EP, Life of the Party, followed one year later, but founding members Marchese and James left the band soon after its release. Drummer Nic Brown and bassist Christian Bongers stepped in as temporary replacements, allowing the band to resume recording its sophomore album with producer John Leckie. There's a Fire was released in June 2005,in mid-2008 and released Secrets Are Sinister (amazon.com).
