THE STAND (R.I.P.)

Emerging from Joplin, MO, come’s a band with lots of potential. The Stand has made their way through many traverses in their time together. I say that because after the band's individuals' hours in practicing, playing shows, and being on the road, is unreal. Nate Pugh, for instance, has been in 5 different bands with tons of practice hours. Duong and Josh used to play in two local bands known as A Show Of Hands and Hollywood Came Burning with about 3 years of getting "used to each other." Antonio just likes RockNRoll. But before The Stand, all of the guys were known as members from Against the Glass (except for Richie). So one thing led to another, and The Stand was born...
Richie is the newest asset to the band. Richie comes from Mesa, AZ with a booming voice. He was in search for a band here in Joplin to play with while being enrolled at OCC. With Richie's brutal voice, it was assuring that The Stand would manage. After a few practices with the original members, the band kept pursuing what they loved the best-playing music. That’s what separates The Stand from other bands. That’s also why you always see these guys on stage with smiles on their faces. But wherever the road may take these guys, JOMO will always remember their name.
We would like to thank Digital Planet for the recordings, The Foundry for such a great venue to play at, and all of our sister bands and fans that’s got our back.
