   About Missing the Point

Missing the Point is a four-piece rock/reggae band based out of Champaign, IL. Original band members Ian Fell, Steve Henigman, Steve Carroll, and Steve Meadows began writing and rehearsing in September 2001. Within a few months they began playing shows and recording tracks for their first release, a 5-song EP released in November 2001.

After developing a strong local following, the band released a follow up EP entitled “All I Had” in December 2002 and went on tour in support of the album in the summer of 2003. The first leg of the tour covered 10 states in 3 weeks on the east coast and concluded with several shows in the Midwest. Missing the Point began to develop a strong regional following with over 100 shows in 2003. The band is now hitting the road in support of their new album "Healing of the Nation" (LP).

In their time as a band, Missing the Point has had the opportunity to share the stage with such acts as Fall Out Boy, Lucky Boys Confusion, Local H, The Plain White T’s, The Matches, Don't Look Down, and many more.

Missing the Point is currently working on a follow up to "Healing of the Nation" (which is long overdue). Special thanks to all who give their support. Feel free to say whats up anytime.
