Silent Auction
[ View Image Gallery (33 pics) ]
Profile: MEGA SHORT BIOSilent Auction is: An electronic duo writing electro synth-pop with heavy EBM and indrustrial influences - working within the ideals of traditional song structure and incorporating the heavy dance landscapes known throughout the sub-culture and alternative futurepop genre. With both radio friendly lyrics and pop culture melodies, Silent Auction works to create a clean fusion between the underground and mainstream - building a bridge between both worlds through the influence of music. HISTORICAL / INFORMATIVE BIO Inspired by bands such as Depech Mode, Petshop boys , Modonna , Iris , Mind in a box and many others, Silent Auction has managed to maintain its own unique blend of emotion, conviction, hardship and romance through its music. Formed in 1997 in Rochester, NY by Jason Barbero and Jason Rowe, the band began as a dark industrial project derived from grinding noises, intense rhythm programming and chaotic digital sounds. In late 2000 Silent Auction began to break away from the industrial noise scene and moved towards experimental darkwave and synthpop, with Jace Luce joining the band in 2001 to add live bass and additional vocals. Over the next two years Silent Auction began to realize their true musical direction, as chaotic life changes coupled with new influences and shifting alterations to the group lineup steered them toward a melodic and far more danceable sound. With the addition of Theresa Snyder in 2003 as lead female vocalist and co-composer, Silent Auction completed their crossover into the realm of what is now referred to as electronica, synthpop and futurepop. Jace Luce departed the band in late 2004 to concentrate on his solo project, and in 2005 the remaining three members buckled down in earnest to write and record what was to become their first release featuring their now fully matured Silent Auction sound,"Amber Lights". On November 18th 2006 Jason R announced his decision to leave Silent Auction in order to focus on his family and other commitments.In April 2008 the band introduced Brendan Bulson as there live drummer along with an new arsenal of tools for the stage. We would like to take a moment to thank Eric Lees - Brendan Bulson - Myk Barbero - William Higgens and Sean Gillette for helping us get all of the wood and supplies we needed to create phase 1 of Studio A up all 4 flights of stairs in the new building. ..
