About Me


Myspace Layouts - Image Hosting - Comments

The Diver and the Whale is a band from Elmhurst, Illinois. They play all sorts of music, most prevalent amongst the genres being alternative ? I'd say so, yeah. Anywho, dw formed somewhere around early last April. Peter spoke to Charlie and Charlie spoke to Eric and Eric spoke to basement and basement held a practice. Then it held more band practices. In that month they constructed a not-so-full-length concept album that they don't like to play in order anyway, so they just made 7 or 8 songs, ranging in goodness from 'pretty good' to 'lets forget that song and pretend we never played it ever'. After a summer that held 2 or 3 shows, Diver has been having a very good Winter, playing 3 shows: Vinter Vunderlund 2008, Elk Grove City Centre, and ASIAN FEST 2! All of the shows went berry berry good and other berry berry berry good bands light up le stage as well. Now Peter, E-Daddy, and Charles are working on some new material and are hoping to show it up again as soon as possible. If you want to talk to us (doubtful) then just comment/message us. We'll definitely receive your message because we don't have any other messages to confuse it with, except the occasional comment from our good buddies Wolf Recovery Program. They make good music too, so once you've read this listen to them. Also listen to Crystal Ships, Pisces, Shy Guy Says, Urbski's Dorcher Chamber, Truman, The Reptilian, thats all the bands that we've played with recently. Plus our friend Hawk, who goes by Haakon, he lays down trippy ass beats: enjoyable. We also played with Social Pariah, who know how you feel if you've 'ever received a text message in the middle of a make out session'. LOLZ. Have a good day/night;;;;;;; lorve diver :)
