About Me

Agapefest 2008
The Silent Film Summer Tour 2007
for booking: contact Jakob Lewis @ [email protected] or call 573.578.3538
It started as a recording project for Portugal native Andre Anjos and the Midwestern songwriter Jakob Lewis. Meeting in their dorm room to write music, Jakob brought hisfolk lyrics and music and Andre infused it with his electronica influence. The two guys realized that what they had created for a school project could be taken beyond the classroom and The Silent Film was born.Knowing what they had, Andre and Jakob found a drummer and bass player and began recording. The "Least" EP was released in thespring of 2006 just in time for their summer tour.
At the end of the tour the drummer and bass player parted amicably with the band wanting to pursue other ventures. When returning to Greenville that fall, two new membersof the band were introduced. Oklahoma born Nathan Bender began playing bass for the band and Jon Goldstein from St. Louis, got behind the drums. Both musicians broughta fresh sound to the band and by November they had written all new songs and began recording. They finished their demo in time for the local music festival, Agapefest 2007put on at Greenville College.
The four of them developed not only a great sound but a strong brotherhood and ventured out again for their 2007 Midwestern tour with friend singer/songwriter Karl F. Klingfor a month. In this band's short life they have already played with such bands as: Lovedrug, The Felix Culpa, Tyler James, and many more. They look forward to finishing theirrecordings and putting out their new album soon.
"All we ask of you is that you scream 'all I need is painted on these walls' when it comes the appropriate time." -Jakob Lewis
