Bio

Vagabond Society was founded by Kiel Bowman, and Elaine Lee is the first supporting member. All of the music thus far has been written by Kiel, and the influences are far and wide. He grew up on a diet of Californian punk, like the Offspring, AFI, and Green Day, as well as some alternative music along the lines of Incubus, but ultimately grew into an appreciation of San Diego's local indie scene, showcasing bands like Pinback or the Album Leaf. Throw in a mix of the music of the maple leaf country, Canada, who boast groups like Broken Social Scene or Wolf Parade, and you end up with a wide variety of conflicting influences that nevertheless inform the creation of new music.

Our band is different from others in that it frequently does not utilize common song structure, and does not utilize the common guitars-bass-drums-vocals band structure. Its not that standard conventions have been avoided, but other things have gotten in the way, resulting in a musical outfit that stands apart from the normal coffeehouse singer-songwriter fair as well as the typical conventions of punk groups in the local all ages club. We believe that this has resulted in a more interesting and rewarding musical premise.
