Description:
Almost every bands' bio will tell you how driving their sound is, or how melodic the singer and the guitar player are, and how you will be assaulted by powerful bass riffs and primal screams of rage and so on and so on. But how many of them can truly describe there music to an audience? How many of them realize that it is still an art and not a "rockstar-wannabe-formula-we-are-the-new-insert-your-favorite-band-here" band? How many of them realize that music affects more than just the sense of hearing? How many of those bands can tell what their music looks like? Or what about the feeling of the music? As average as your brother, and as regular (or not so regular) as your buddy, so are the members of our band. First of all, we do what we do because we enjoy it. Second of all, we do it for the art. We try to focus any energy, talent, structure, or lack thereof, and intellect into our songs. We then get to hear not only how our music sounds, but also how are our music looks and feels, and we do this through you, the audience. The visuals and textures of our music can be as calm as a lake, flat as glass, not a ripple. When seeing a crowd stare in wide-eyed wonder, no moving mouths, just gazes of approval, you can really see your reflection. At other times it is like standing at the epicenter of an earthquake, right after the tornadoes hit. Such intense energy can only be described in such a form. When the members of the band are hoisted in the air over a pit of out of control fans, people are tearing down tents, climbing speakers, and singing along while performing that anticipated original, as a band member you see, hear, and feel nothing but satisfaction, like you have completed any great work of art from the renaissance. We as artists and entertainers feel accomplished, we have connected with the crowd, and made them forget their day and forget their troubles. Forget the assault of music and melodies; we paint you into the picture, and cover it in a thick, foggy, proggy-assed shade of green. Relax, breathe, and embrace the AMBIENT GREEN visions that are before you.
Band Members:
Nick Brown – Vocals, Jared Park – Bass, Colin Gholson – Guitars, Cole Groves – Guitars, Gary Robinson – Drums.
Nick Brown, lead vocals, is from Decatur, IL. He has been singing and performing for over ten years, although this is his first rock band. Nick joined Ambient Green in March of 2003, with intentions to continue his love for performing in an atmosphere where he and the other members can write the music and the rules. Nicks main influences are Incubus, A Perfect Circle, and Pink Floyd.
Jared Park, bass, is from Decatur, IL. Jared joined Ambient Green in March of 2001, where his influence has been a paramount importance to the band. Jared’s main influences are by the artists Les Claypool, Flea, and Washburn basses.
Colin Gholson, guitars, is the newest member of Ambient Green, joining in March of 2004. He has playing guitar since the age of 16. Colin has played with other bands such as Triple Crown, Honest Pod, and Hung. Colin says his goal is to always “Put on a good rockin’ show with lots of energy.”
Cole Groves, Guitars, “The night I was born, I swear the moon turned all fire red…” Cole has been playing guitar since the age of 14. When mapping out the fret board, he will summon the many influences of Rock, Metal, and Grunge, combined with elements of Blues and Jazz along with his weapons of choice, the Fender Fat Telecaster, or the Epiphone Les Paul Custom.
Gary Robinson, Drums, has been playing percussion since the age of 11, deciding to move towards the trap set at the age of 15. Gary has won several awards in small, school competitions and the Don Flach Memorial award at age 18. “Everything we observe, see, or hear is all done in time. From changing seasons, to animal migrations, to the heartbeat of civilization, it is all occurring in some sort of a fashion or pattern. That pattern is time. I just find it natural to focus on that aspect of music, and sometimes try and contradict it.” Gary’s #1 influence is from Danny Carey band Tool. Other influences include Mike Portnoy of Dream Theatre, and Neil Pirt of Rush.
