History


Formation and first EP (1998-2002)


Influenced by artists such as Reel Big Fish , Michael Jackson and Oingo Boingo , the band was formed in 1998 as The No Tones , consisting of vocalist Tim Maurer , guitarist Brent Feige , bassist Justin Meacham , drummer The Rev|Jimmy Sullivan , trumpet players Vince Walker and Aaron Bertram , and trombonists Ryan Dallas Cook and Brian Robertson . A few months after forming, they changed their name to Bomb Squad , under which name they released an EP, now known as the Bomb Squad EP .

In 1999 the band changed their name to Suburban Legends. Guitarist Brent Feige left the band shortly before the release of the first demo album, Origin Edition , for which they recruited guitarist Brian Klemm . The album was self-pressed and even though Brian Klemm was already in the band, Vince Walker recorded the guitar parts for the demo album.


In late 1999, vocalist Tim Maurer and drummer The Rev|Jimmy Sullivan left the band, the latter to form the band Pinkly Smooth . The former was replaced by Chris Batstone , the latter by Derek Lee Rock . A few months later, bassist Justin Meacham left the band as well and was soon replaced by former lead vocalist Tim Maurer 's brother, Chris Maurer .


In 2001, the band released their first, self-titled, EP, Suburban Legends (album)|Suburban Legends , on We The People Records, featuring some re-recorded songs from Origin Edition . This was the band's only release with Chris Batstone on vocals, as he left the band in early 2002.

Rump Shaker and Disney (2002-2005)


In early 2002 previous vocalist Tim Maurer rejoined the band on vocals, and the band re-recorded the vocals for their EP, and re-released it independently as Suburban Legends (Tim Remix) . During the year, the band played close to 1000 shows at Downtown Disney (California)|Downtown Disney . They also performed on many occasions for the X Games Xperience promotion at Disney California Adventure Park in 2003.


In 2003, the band recorded and released their first actual album, Rump Shaker (album)|Rump Shaker , followed by a year of heavy touring. The band released their first live DVD in 2004 titled Season One (Suburban Legends)|Season One . At the end of the year trumpet player Vince Walker and bassist Chris Maurer left the band, the former to go to college and the latter to get married. While Maurer was replaced by Mikey Hachey , Walker wasn't replaced and the band continued with only one trumpet player. In may of 2005, trumpet player Aaron Bertram left the band to get married as well, and was replaced by Luis Beza .


In late 2005, former trumpet player Vince Walker rejoined the band for the 2005 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon , after which vocalist Tim Maurer left the band once again. The band went on a pause until further notice.

Death of Dallas Cook and new formation (2005-2006)


At 12:25 AM on October 19, 2005, trombone player Dallas Cook was killed in a Hit and run (vehicular)|hit-and-run motorcycle accident on the Costa Mesa Freeway .Cite news |first=Rita |last=Freeman |title=Motorcyclist dies after Santa Ana crash |url= http://ocregister.com/ocregister/homepage/abox/article_722281.php |work= Orange County Register |date=October 19, 2005 |accessdate=2009-09-11 A few days after the incident, a large group of Suburban Legends' fans and Dallas' friends and family gathered nearby the ESPN Zone at Disneyland Resort's Downtown Disney , where the band played their many performances in the early 2000s, to share their memories of Cook. On November 29, 2005, the band performed a benefit show for the Dallas Cook Memorial Fund , which was as set up in Cook's honor to donate money to the Huntington Beach High School instrumental music program. The performance also featured former members Tim Maurer , Chris Maurer and Aaron Bertram returning for one final show, but most notably trumpet player Vince Walker permanently switching to the vocalist position.


In 2006 the band recruited trombonist Phillip Inzerillo to replace Dallas Cook . They released their first EP with Vince Walker on vocals, '' Dance Like Nobody's Watching '', which showed the band's shift in style towards disco rock. The band promoted the EP by appearing on G4 (TV channel)|G4 's Attack of the Show! on April 18, 2006.


On July 19, 2006, while they were on tour and in St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis , Missouri , Phillip Inzerillo woke up to notice the band's tour van was on fire. The fire destroyed the front driver's side of the van. The band's tour money had also been missing from the van. It is suspected that the fire and robbery was caused by an arson ist.


At the end of the year, trombonist Phillip Inzerillo left the band without official announcement, and wasn't replaced. Around this time keyboardist Dallas Kruse started performing with the band, despite never being listed as an official member.

New musical direction (2007-2009)


In 2007 the band released a Japan-only album, an extended version of their EP release, titled '' Dance Like Nobody's Watching: Tokyo Nights , containing several new and re-recorded songs. In early July 2007, the band started releasing videos on their YouTube account documenting progress recording new material in the studio. Later that year, the band released their first full album with Vince Walker on vocals, Infectious (album)| Infectious . The album continued the shift in style started with Dance Like Nobody's Watching , with ska being traded in for a pop-rock sound with disco and funk elements.


On November 11, 2007, the band was robbed again, while supporting Streetlight Manifesto on their Somewhere in the Between Tour. This time, Suburban Legends' van was stolen along with approximately $80,000 worth of all their equipment and instruments. Fans were first alert of this when Dallas Kruse posted a MySpace bulletin reading:


" You all know just HOW MUCH suburban legends have been through throughout the years& #33; .... lets all gather to HELP THEM through this!
I just got a call from my dear friend MIKEY, bassist for Suburban Legends.
They are on tour in Philly and woke up to head down to the van and trailer from the hotel room and the van and trailer were stolen.
Every piece of equipment and merchandise the band owns is gone.
Drum sets, horns, clothing, basses, guitars, amps, etc.
The value of the equipment alone is appx 40k. The value of the trailer alone is 30k. Estimated value of everything is probably close to 80k (in my estimation) including the van, trailer and gear.
They are troopers and going to try and rent another van, rent gear and finish the tour.
This is devastating. Most, if not ALL of you know just how dear and sincere these guys are and how close I am with them.
Is there ANYTHING we can do to help them?
My idea was to find someone with money who would be able to immediately front them an investment for gear and work out terms for the band to pay that person back. Or does someone here have connections to a car dealership? Instruments? SOMETHING!? !
Please help!
if you have some help or ideas, PLEASE, lets help the guys out!"


Another MySpace bulletin which was posted on November 13, said that the van was recovered in a neighborhood in Philadelphia apparently after somebody saw the news story on the van theft and gave information of its whereabouts. When the van was recovered, it only required minor repairs. However, the contents of the van and trailer were missing. While insurance issues are still being resolved, the band apologized to the fans for any shows they miss and state that they will be back on the road again.

The song "Fire" from their 2008 album, ''Let's Be Friends , is about the van fire and robberies.


The band's second DVD Poisonous Candy Factory was released in March 2008. Similar to Season One (Suburban Legends)|Season One , it featured live sets containing songs from Rump Shaker through to new, unreleased material, music videos and extra videos from the band.

Shortly after this release, the band headed back into the studio and recorded their third official album, '' Let's Be Friends (Suburban Legends album)|Let's Be Friends , released on July 10, 2008, while touring with Less Than Jake , Goldfinger (band)|Goldfinger , and Big D and the Kids Table on the Shout It Loud Tour 2. This album mixed elements of previous albums, featuring a return to ska on some songs as well as a continued focus on a pop-rock sound.


In the winter of 2008, they toured with The Aquabats on the Hooray for the Holidays Tour.cite web|url= http://theaquabats.com/news/ |title=Welcome to |publisher=Theaquabats.com |date= |accessdate=2011-07-09 In February 2009, they appeared along with The Aquabats' Christian Jacobs|MC Bat Commander on MC Lars ' new song, "This Gigantic Robot Kills", from Lars' new This Gigantic Robot Kills|album of the same name . MC Lars describes that "this song is about bringing ska back. It's about this kid who builds this giant robot" who "as he destroys Orange County, he leaves behind a trail of Less Than Jake CDs, a field of Aquabat limited edition vinyls, and a stack of CDs by Suburban Legends."cite web|url= http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=p_my5kgRiE8 |title=?MC Lars & Suburban Legends - This Gigantic Robot Kills?? |publisher=YouTube |date=2008-10-22 |accessdate=2011-07-09 As well, they performed at Miley Cyrus ' 16th Birthday Party celebration.cite web|url=https://twitter.com/sublegends/status/1701859729 |title=Twitter / Suburban Legends: at mileycyrus remember when |publisher=Twitter.com |date=2009-05-04 |accessdate=2011-07-09

Shortly after, trumpet player Luis Beza left the band.

In 2009 the band appeared as a full ska band on the 2009 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon , with a new ska song titled "Open Your Eyes". The performance featured former member Aaron Bertram on trumpet once again, and guest musicians Byron Panopio and Justin Lewis, on trumpet and trombone respectively. The three continued to perform with the band on the subsequent tour and Disney shows, along with touring trumpet player Chris Lucca , but at the end of 2009 Panopio and Lewis, as well as long-time collaborator Dallas Kruse stopped performing with the band.

Day Job era (2010-present)


In 2009 the band had announced they were planning to release a full ska record once again, and in late 2010 the band released a seven-track EP as a preview, Going on Tour EP . This was followed by the departure of bassist Mikey Hachey, even though he continues to collaborate with the band on some occasions. He was soon replaced by Brad Polidori .

On January 1, 2011, the band's song, "You," from their 2003 album, Rump Shaker , was performed by the Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains Marching Band in the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California . The band chose to perform the song in honor of the late Ryan Dallas Cook .

In July 2011, it was announced that Suburban Legends was cast as the house band for Pick-a-Split , a retro-themed bowling game show pilot hosted by Neil Hamburger .

During November 2011, Connecticut's Asbestos Records and Chicago, IL's Underground Communiqué Records launched a fundraiser together on Kickstarter to release Rump Shaker (album)|Rump Shaker on vinyl, among other third-wave ska classics from Pilfers , Edna's Goldfish , and The Pietasters . The funding goal was met by January 18, 2012, and the records began pre-production in Spring 2012. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/59430281/the-3rd-wave-ska-preservation-society-vinyl-reissu

On February 23, the band's 2009 collaboration track with MC Lars and The Aquabats ' Christian Jacobs|MC Bat Commander , "This Gigantic Robot Kills", was released on Rock Band Network .

On April 3, 2012, the band released its fifth full-length album, Day Job (Suburban Legends album)|Day Job . It includes new songs, four re-recorded tracks from Going on Tour , a collaborative track with rapper Lyrics Born , as well as two Disney covers, " Under the Sea " from The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid and " I Just Can't Wait to Be King " from The Lion King , which have been long-time staples of the band's live performances.

Style


Suburban Legends' style of music has evolved over time and is different from that of other ska bands. While earlier material being heavily rooted in ska , the 2006 release ''Dance Like Nobody's Watching brought a different sound took ideas and influence from disco , funk , and pop music|pop , some songs on the EP containing little to no ska sound at all. The band furthered its distance from ska with the 2007 release of Infectious, heavily focusing on disco on the record. The band has not abandoned their earlier sound, though, regularly performing older material alongside their current work.

The 2008 album '' Let's Be Friends (Suburban Legends album)|Let's Be Friends '' combines elements from all their previous releases. In May 2009, the band announced that they would be recording a "full blown ska rock album," not simply a ska-influenced album because they have horns or an album with only a few ska songs.cite web|url= http://palebirdnest.com/SL/public/news.php |title=Suburban Legends |publisher=Palebirdnest.com |date= |accessdate=2011-07-09 Further supporting the band's transition back to ska, less time was devoted in live performances to songs found on more recent albums, such as Infectious , with the band reintroducing older songs such as "Alternative is Dead," "Gummi Bears," "I Want More," and "Waikiki," all of which were found either on Origin Edition (1999) and Suburban Legends (EP)|Suburban Legends (2001). The band has been playing these songs and other from that era ever since. In 2009 the band also started performing a new ska song, "Open Up Your Eyes", which later appeared on their 2010 Going on Tour EP and their 2012 Day Job (Suburban Legends album)|Day Job album.

Part of the band's claim to fame has been its live shows which often involve dance routines far more complicated than those often found in ska bands, as horn playing usually inhibits movement on stage.

Covers


The band has been known to cover the song " Under the Sea " from the Disney movie The Little Mermaid (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid live since 2002. More recently they have played this and other live covers of " I Just Can't Wait to Be King " from the Disney film The Lion King , Frankie Valli 's " Can't Take My Eyes Off You " (with Brian Klemm singing lead), The Foundations ' " Build Me Up Buttercup ," Kool and the Gang 's " Celebration (song)|Celebration ," Gary Glitter 's " I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am) ," Elvis Presley 's " Rubberneckin' , and Stevie Wonder 's Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder song)|Higher Ground ." These covers are often regarded by fans as the proverbial "Coup De Grace," or a perfect finish to the show that "sells" the band to the audience. However, due to licensing issues, album releases of even live recordings of these covers are unlikely, the Disney covers in particular. However, one of the few covers the band has recorded was the theme song to '' Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears . Their other recorded covers include " Rose Tint My World " from the Rocky Horror Show (intended to have been included on an aborted ska tribute album to Rocky Horror , featuring other ska artists such as Chris Murray (musician)|Chris Murray ), and "Dancing Machine" by The Jackson 5 . They did a ska cover of the Bed Intruder Song during their Fall 2010 tour and while on the "Reel Big Fish vs Aquabats" tour.

The band appears on a tribute album for influential '80s group Oingo Boingo , entitled '' Dead Band's Party . Their contribution is a cover of the song "On The Outside."

Lineup


The band has had many lineup changes over the years. Original vocalist Tim Maurer left the band after the recording of Origin Edition , and was replaced by Chris Batstone . Batstone later left the band, and Maurer rejoined. After an album and live DVD, Maurer left again after the 2005 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon to spend more time with his family. He was replaced by former trumpet player Vince Walker , who returned to the band in the same performance, oddly switching roles from horns to vocals. Walker also plays the trumpet and guitar in some songs on stage. Before becoming the band's lead vocalist, he already had provided lead vocals on several songs such as "Desperate", "Blingity Bling" and "Powerful Game".


Guitarist Brian Klemm joined the band in 1999 and has been with the band ever since. He can also be heard doing lead vocals in several of the band's songs, such as "Desperate", "Powerful Game", "This Cherry", "So Fine", "Love Fair", "I Just Can't Wait to be King" and "Girlfriend's Pretty". After the departure of Aaron Bertram, Klemm started providing more backing vocals live, and this increased even more after the departure of Mikey Hachey.


The band's original bassist, Justin Meacham , left the band in 2000 to form Avenged Sevenfold and was replaced by Chris Maurer , the younger brother of former lead vocalist Tim Maurer . Apart from bass, Chris Maurer also provided backing vocals on many songs live. Maurer left the band in 2004 to marry his fiancée and was replaced by Mikey Hachey , who stayed with the band until 2010, when he left the band to pursue other musical activities. He also did many of the band's main backing vocals after Aaron Bertram left, and also occasionally sang lead vocals in "Powerful Game" live. The band's current bassist is Brad Polidori .

One of the band's early drummers, the late The Rev|Jimmy Sullivan , left the band to form Pinkly Smooth and later became known as "The Rev" in Avenged Sevenfold , along with former Suburban Legends bassist Justin Meacham . The band's current drummer, Derek Lee Rock , has been with the band since 2000.


Trumpet player Vince Walker was with the band until his departure in 2004 to focus on his education. He rejoined the band in 2005 to become the band's new lead vocalist. Aaron Bertram left the band in 2005 to marry his fiancée, but returned to the band in 2009 as a touring trumpet player. In between this, Luis Beza was the band's only trumpet player. Since 2009, Bertram usually performs with the band as their trumpet player, but touring musician Chris Lucca often takes the trumpet player role in the band's overseas tours. Bertram was the band's main backing vocalist before he left, and has also provided lead vocals for several songs such as "Gummi Bears", "Rose Tint My World" and "Powerful Game".


Trombonist Brian Robertson is the only member to have been in the band since its inception in 1998. Dallas Cook , who also provided lead vocals for the band's cover of "Rose Tint My World", was killed in 2005, and was replaced by Phillip Inzerillo who left the band in 2006. Since then, Robertson has been the band's only trombonist. He usually only plays trombone, but also sings backing in the song "Blingity Bling" from Rump Shaker (album)|Rump Shaker


Keyboardist Dallas Kruse began playing with the band around 2006 after the departure of Inzerillo. While not an "official" member, not appearing on the band's website and not announced by the band, he has been performing with the band since the tour at local shows until late 2009. He has also produced several of the bands' albums from ''Dance Like Nobody's Watching: Tokyo Nights on.
