ok so... A long story short....Keith von Kaenel and Matt Greenfield - two long time friends and partners in music - ran into Matt Jankowiak, someone they had known since grade school, at a local grocery store.
With both Keith and Matt G. on the microphones and acoustic guitars and Matt J. on the acoustic drumset, the three began to play together in the back room of Keith's garage in Downers Grove, IL.
They decided they needed a bass player, and when there was none to be found, Matt G dropped the guitar and bought a bass. A 16-track demo was recorded in the backroom of Keith's garage during the summer of 2004 titled, "The Backroom - a self-recorded demo."
A year later, the band released a shorter self-recorded demo and began playing shows at every bad venue they could find. In February of 2007, The Backroom began recording at Strobe Studies, a professional studio in Chicago that provided much more than the resources of Keith’s garage ever could.
The 14-track debut album, Reagan Era Rocketship, is set to launch on 07/07/07. Get excited, The Backroom will be rocking the Chicagoland area and should be playing somewhere near you, sometime soon...
