HERE IS THERE
My spotlight artist for this week is Here is There. Here is There has been around the local music scene in Tulsa since 2007, forming with Zach Edmondson, Chris Gibbs, Matt Totty, and Ryan Chilcoat. Their first demo came out in August of 2007 and included songs like, "Fluma", "Just A Rainbow?", "Mister Know", and "Versus." Their sound at this time can be described as unique and diverse mixed with some subtle juxtaposition. With Zach's wailing and yet soothing vocals accompanied with the keyboard mixed in with the wailing sound of Ryan's guitar, in which his playing can be compared to that of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and with the major support of Chris' loud and yet mellow playing on the drums and the psychedelic and yet soft bass lines by Matt, Here is There's sound was like nothing that was going on in the music scene so hearing them for the first time was like a breath of fresh air. In 2008, they released 2 EPs, A Dreams and Disconnected On, in which the sound from their 2007 demo only progressed and got even better. Although in 2009 they went on hiatus for a bit taking a break for some personal time, however when they came back in 2010, they would return stronger than ever. At the beginning of 2010, they had a new member, Victor Infante, who was a great enhancer to their sound. Taking on vocals with Zach, Victor's rhymes mixed in with new back beats and super awesome dance skills added in to the same Here is There sound from a year ago, Here is There's music got even more better, in which at this time, I honestly didn't think they could get any better since to me their sound was already perfect. With songs like Kwestions + Q'ancers, Animalesque, and Th' Horr'r, Here is There's performances became something like no other.
Seeing this band live is something I enjoy doing and is something I try to do often because of the energetic and psychedelic feel I get from seeing them perform. In way, it's quite euphoric since they have the right sound to make anyone feel care free and forget about what's going on outside of where they are playing. So definitely this is a band you NEED to check out, and if possibly catch a show of there's since I'm sure it'll be quite rememorable.
