Remington

Remington is an indi/dance rock/power pop trio from the New York City area. The band was created in 2003 by three music students from the Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music. The band is comprised of Mike Thurber on vocals and bass, Greg Evans on drums and Ross Mintzer on guitar and vocals. Their various upbringings in music bring a lot of different color and sound to the band, which interconnects into some great music.

Even though being a relatively new band, they have their experiences in many different style of music, including classical, jazz, rock, pop, and etc. Every summer, they provide a summer camp for students on all the basics of music to composing music, encompassing many different genre of music.

For the summer of 2009, they are planning a "Family Tour", which is a very interesting way of promoting and performing. This tour will be free of charge. The catch is that you have to provide a venue, place to stay, and food. So these concerts could potentially be at somebody's house, all you have to do is feed them and have them sleep in your living room.

All their music is available for download on their website for free. They are a great band and doing many things right. Check them out if you have a chance, and maybe you want to invite them for the "Family Tour".
