Bio
Synth/bassist Jeff Gallea from RED VIOLET RED forms seminal ambient cold-wave band SPACE TRIO with art school chum synth player Dan Brumley, then adds James Tabbi on vocals and Jack Schaeffer on guitar to form ELEVEN POND in Rochester NY... the band breaks up over a combo of dominatrixes, shared girlfriends, being stuck in dreary Upstate New York and bad timing... years later the songs WATCHING TREES and PORTUGAL becomes popular in Europe and US dance clubs... albums by both bands RED VIOLET RED and ELEVEN POND become highly sought after cold-wave collector vinyl eBay items... WATCHING TREES gets labeled the 'Free Bird" of the fast growing Minimal Synth movement growing in Brooklyn NY... DARK ENTIRES RECORDS in San Francisco reissues the 1st LP "Bas Relief" in 2010... the band as a duo prepares to play live shows with one original band member and a new guitarist/vocalist... after a 24 year break ELEVEN POND has been reformed.
