Information AboutThursday (band) |
Thursday is an American Rock Band from New Brunswick , New Jersey that has released four Full-length Albums . The band's name comes from their desire to not be automatically associated with any particular Musical Style . Thursday is set to release the live '' Kill The House Lights '' on 2007-10-30 through former record label, Victory Records . The band will also be touring in November in support of this release. HISTORY Formation and ''Waiting'' See Also: Waiting (Thursday album) Thursday was formed in 1997 by Vocalist Geoff Rickly , Guitarist Tom Keeley , guitarist Bill Henderson , Bassist Tim Payne , and Drummer Tucker Rule . Keeley recounts foundation of the band: The band began playing Basement Shows in New Brunswick and surrounding New Jersey and New York areas. The band played their first official show on December 31 , 1998 in Rickly's basement alongside Midtown , Saves The Day and Poison The Well . They recorded Demos to hand out at shows, and in the Summer of 1999 , they teamed up with MP3.com for their first official release, the '' 1999 Summer Tour EP '', which featured demos of songs that would be soon be found on their debut album, '' Waiting '', released January 18 , 2000 , on northern New Jersey-based Eyeball Records without any singles nor radio or television support. ''Full Collapse'' See Also: Full Collapse Hesitant to join a larger label, but with full support from Eyeball Records, Thursday signed to Chicago -based label Victory Records and released '' Full Collapse '' on April 10 , 2001 , without much radio or television support, but in a way that the band had not originally intended. Victory Records removed the lyrics from the packaging against the bands wishes in order to cut costs. Thursday toured in support of the album, including a tour with Saves The Day that caught the attention of Victory Records . Victory Records filmed a Music Video for " Understanding In A Car Crash " consisting of live footage of the band and marketed the song as the band's first single, without the bands authorization. A second single, " Cross Out The Eyes ", would follow, but it received much less attention. Thursday was routinely upset at Victory Records over the use of the band's image and promotion, including the label's attempts to distribute Thursday-themed Whoopie Cushions . The band's newfound popularity and disgust with the label led to internal problems that bred the '' Five Stories Falling EP '', a release the band used to fulfill contractual obligations with Victory Records. At live shows, the band routinely told fans not to purchase the EP, but instead to download " Jet Black New Year ", the one new song found on the EP amidst live performances of four Full Collapse songs and the first song created since Full Collapse, a time during which the band almost broke up. ''War All the Time'' See Also: War All The Time (Thursday album) Having parted ways with Victory Records and joining being a War . '' War All The Time '' features Andrew Everding on keyboards, though he would not become an official member of the band until December 26 , 2003 , when he was officially welcomed into the band at the band's Christmas Holiday shows held at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey . ''War All The Time'' spawned two singles, " feed that appeared to be real and Teenagers being weapon targets. Thursday toured extensively to support ''War All the Time'' through many dates with acts such as AFI , Thrice , and Coheed And Cambria . On these tours, Thursday performed many in-store acoustic sessions at various Tower Records stores and other record stores. The band also recorded a live acoustic session for Y100 Sonic Sessions, a radio program on the now defunct Philadelphia-based radio station, Y100 . The live Acoustic version of single "Signals Over The Air" was used on Y100 Sonic Sessions Volume 8. Following ''War All The Time'', the band released two EPs. The first was '' Live From The SoHo & Santa Monica Stores Split EP '' and sold exclusively on iTunes; the second was a promotion found in Revolver Magazine , '' Live In Detroit EP ''. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2004 but returned once again for a charitable cause to save New York City 's CBGB , on August 25 , 2005 . This performance was streamed live through the CBGB 's website. At this show they performed two songs that have not been released.
