In December of 2002, in a small Poway rehearsal studio, The Perils of Being was born. Formed from the ashes of many previous bands and deriving their sound from numerous influences, The Perils of Being has remained true to its sound. Writing self-proclaimed ambient hard rock, The Perils of Being combines ethereal melodies with rhythm-driven rock music. With their original line-up still intact, except for acquiring a new vocalist in 2005, the quartet continues to thrive in the San Diego area supported by a strong assembly of fans, friends, and family.
Comprised of Noah Slifka and his passionate, vigorous drumming; Sean Barrett and his driving, yet melodic guitar work; Matt MacAdams and his amazing mastery of the bass; and Matt Wehren's heartfelt vocals, The Perils of Being creates more than just ordinary radio-friendly rock. The members captivate audiences with energetic live shows and strive to leave no one feeling disengaged. Their music speaks to all, both lyrically and aurally, and they are truly a band that loves what they do.
To date, The Perils of Being have performed up and down the Southern California coast from San Diego to Santa Barbara, stunning audiences with their energetic live performances. They have performed live on San Diegos Fox 6 News, been invited to the Connexion International Music Festival in Las Vegas, NV, and have shared the stage with national acts such as Mushroomhead, Drowning Pool, and most recently, Disturbed. The San Diego music community has also recognized The Perils for their talent. In 2005, after only three months with new front man Matt Wehren, The Perils of Being was nominated for a San Diego Music Award in the Best Rock category. Much of the band's independent success is due in large part to sponsorships from Jagermeister, Whiteboy Clothing, and Monster Energy Drink. The support from these companies has made it possible for The Perils of Being to perform for diverse audiences and at special events around the country. The band is currently at work on their debut album, The Unheard, expected to be released independently in early fall of 2006.
Three years running, and with countless more to come, The Perils of Being continue to perform for anyone and everyone. From playing more than a few shows for less than a few people to awing the audiences of sold out theaters, their quality remains the same. Passionate, emotional, and strong - lend an ear and The Perils of Being will gladly provide a story.
