   About focuspoint
IMG 023

Welcome to the official focuspoint MySpace page. focuspoint consists of singer/guitarist Chris Watson, guitarist Jeremy Olson, bassist Paolo Mottola and drummer Danny Woodward. The guys met while attending Stadium High School in Tacoma and created the band in 2000. After a hiatus to pursue higher education in 2003, the band regrouped in late 2005 and has since played consistently at various venues in Puget Sound.

In early 2007, the band entered the studio to record its first album, “Lost in the Sound.” The 18-track album features all original songs spanning the band’s seven-year history and kicks off with three strong singles, “Never Again,” “Sweet Release,” and “We Came Alive.” The singles represent the album’s themes of angst, heartache and restlessness.

After playing more than 20 shows in support of “Lost in the Sound” in 2007, the band went back into the studio in early 2008 torecord the five-track “Alright EP” led by the title track. Inspired by early 90s grunge and alternative rock, the CD shows influences of Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, and Silverchair. The “Alright EP” is now available on iTunes, Amazon and many other online retailers.

Hey hope your summer is going great. We are trying to raise funds to record our next album in Spring of 2010 and we need your help. If every single friend of ours on Myspace spends only $2 and buys two of our songs on iTunes, not only will we be able to record a new cd for you next year but we will also be able to tour again and bring our music closer to you. :) Thanks again for your support remember our fans are number one and we always comment back personally so drop us a line and tell us how you're doing.

Hey,

Do you have plans for this Saturday night? If not you should come to Hells Kitchen off of 6th & Proctor in Tacoma. I am throwing a hiphop bash party. I have selected 5 acts to perform from the Seattle / Tacoma area. The music starts at 9PM sharp, and I advise getting there before then. This isn't a show that is going to have just one headliner, ALL the groups know how to perform and put on a good show. On top of that the Jagergirls, Dollsquad gogo dancers, and monster promo teams will be on location giving away free giveaways, while Nasty Left, Kalen. w/ SK & SPACEMAN, iLL G Sektions, evergreenOne w/ Todd Sykes and 10Th & Commerce perform through the night. It is $5.00 at the door 21 years of age and over.

Hope to see ya on Saturday!
