Anyway, the small bio...
Hermine Carating (drums) and Matt Novak (guitar/bass) met during their freshman year ('02-'03) at T.F. South in Lansing, IL. Through similar interests in music, they became friends. Somewhere down the line, they decided to create a band. Matt came up with the idea of finding a pianist for said band. This role would conveniently be taken by Gerard Manalo, a good friend of Hermine's from elementary school.
From there, they formed "Sometime Tomorrow." The sound was rough, unorganized, and everything below average. It was more of a practice run for their later trials.
Along came two good buds/greater musicians by the names of Neil Thomas and Brenden Heiburger. From the ashes of a musical travesty came "The October State," a more coherent and pretty solid indie sound. Despite the musical potential of this group, they never played a show.
Their two greatest additions that strengthened them, Neil and Brenden, would leave soon after due to time constraints and college. The original trio was done with music for the time being.
As time went on, the three of them grew musically, coming up with music and getting better at their respective instruments on their own. With more experience under their belts, Hermine, Matt, and Gerard resurrected "Sometime Tomorrow" but renamed it to accomodate their change in style and growth.
Thus, "Yesterday Dream" was born.
