Life, love, popular culture, our shitty town, our shitty jobs, shitty people, and whatever else moves us to make music. Oh ya, and old westerns and twilight zone episodes. Musical influences include: Deftones, Tool, Incubus, 311, Rush, old Metallica, Megadeth, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, System of a Down, RHCP, and A Perfect Circle, the Arctic Monkeys, among others.
Waking Abbott was formed in mid 2004 by it's members Jake Wilhelm, Adam "Mexico" Robison, Tyler "Panda" Gill, and Pete Foster. The band's primary goal is to develop and create a rightously blended style of ear pleasing melodies with aggressive , face-melting rock n' roll. The band is capable of capturing this eclectic style by meshing influences extending through a variety of genres. Waking Abbott is currently working on the completion of their first full length album. The album will include hard hitting joints from the bands rock collection, but will also feature several selections from their soothing acoustic sessions (these sessions are composed of cello, classical guitar, hand percussion, and of course, the vocal stylings of Jake Wilhelm). The album should be finished in the upcoming summer months.
DUPONT BAR & GRILL Be sure to join the band this Saturday night at Dupont Bar & Grill at Leo Crossing in Fort Wayne, IN. It promises to be a night full of good music, good friends, and good spirits.
Says Archbold, “This may your last chance to see the band for a while. With a new album in the works, the band is planning some time off from touring in order to focus on the writing process.”
