The Beginning
It was the ladder of 2005 as two musicians boldly walked away from an established band to set forth their efforts on a more eclectic, modern style of music. In the heart of the Long Island music scene, the founders of the The Still Life knew what they were up against. Jeremy Pinto(lead vocals) and one, Lou Peragine(rhythm guitar/keys) began writing songs with one acoustic guitar with a unique but simple vision in their minds. Music that evoked a specific emotion with lyrics that perfectly captivated that emotion combined with a catchy hook and honest feelings poured over a simple song structure.
Shortly after the infamous duo started writing, they recruited a previous lead guitarist of Lou's, Craig Goldberg. Those of you who know him know what a good guy he is. Class personified. He brought to the table exactly what the band needed; tasteful flavor and ingenious ideas. His knowledge of the music scene steered the group in the right direction for success. Craig is also the first person in the known universe to have the band's logo tattooed on his body. 11:59 Craig.... 11:59.
Continuing the song writing process in the acoustic stage, they developed their sound and song writing skills. In march of '06, Devin Ball of Lindenhurst and Rob Rivera of Central Islip completed the lineup at drums and bass, respectively. The stage was set for them to go into the studio after only a month of rehearsal recording their debut EP, The Clock and the Canvas. It was released in the summer of that same year.
It sucked.
But it was a great learning experience for the band.
Full Collapse
In December of 2006, Devin left the band to pursue a career in 'chillin.' Richard Terrana, Jr was his immediate replacement. His influence altered the direction of the music, as he instilled an energy and aggression that the songs were most DEFINITELY lacking. Things looked up for the band as they gained exposure with the musical talent growing. Unfortunately, after only a few months, the work load began to interfere with Craig and Rich's schooling. When forced to decide what their main priorities are in life, both decided that the music would have to be secondary to school. They decided to step down to avoid causing detriment to their close friends' aspirations. Around the same time, Rob decided he was going to live with his long time girlfriend who lived in Texas and to utilize his degree from Penn State to finally begin his teaching career.
Keep This Alive
So in June of 2007, once again it was the founders, a duo again. They began working on an acoustic album promoting themselves through open mic appearances and local acoustic performances. Although, very well received, the acoustic guitar didn't serve justice to the eclectic songs they had written. The kept pressing on although deep inside, spirits were low. They opened a recording studio in December of that year to keep their sanity under control. During that time, auditions were held in search of a musically top-notch musicians. After a grueling search, a drummer from Glen Cove rose above the rest, Craig Michie. That same week, after a couple chance happenings at the bass position, Richy Weber auditioned above anyone's expectations. These guys are no joke, no bullshit musicians. They play their instrument with passion and have a love for music. They convey the sound and message of the music the way it should have been all along.
