!!!!!! BORDERLINE ELEVEN has a BIG Announcement in the works - keep watch !!!!!!
** This is an ORIGINAL MUSIC, ALTERNATIVE ROCK, HIGH ENERGY PERFORMANCE BAND. We WILL put your event into high gear! **
"You guys ROCK!!!"
"You'll win Battle of the Bands at West for the next two years, too!"
"Totally awesome!"
These are the kinds of accolades heard by the band today, but three years ago, they thought nothing of such things....
Borderline Eleven began in November, 2005, when guitarists Dan and Joe wanted to start a band for something fun to do in their spare time. They asked another friend, Andy, to join them on drums. After working together for a while, they knew a key aspect was missing from their sound. Andy’s older brother, Luke, jumped on board on lead guitar, and the band's sound was complete.
Hunkered down in Dan's basement, the guys tinkered around for a few months covering some popular songs and trying their hand at writing their own material. They ventured out to play open mic nights at a local church, testing out songs and observing the response to their music. Everything was positive, and the church invited the band to play there whenever they wanted. This encouraged the guys to keep it going because they had a sound people liked.
Songwriting continued to flow, and by the end of 2006, they had 18 original songs and 6 covers. The guys produced their first six-song EP in the summer of 2006, “Pacific Wasteland”. Their sound is alternative rock with catchy beats and clean lyrics, and their influences are New Found Glory, Relient K, Hawk Nelson, and Switchfoot, among others.
Now that the last three members have successfully been graduated from high school, they are undertaking the steps to transition from a teen band to a serious adult band. Their debut CD is set for release in the fall of 2009 along with a music video. Increased gig activity is also underway as well as consideration of full band management and label signing. BORDERLINE ELEVEN is on its way!!
