About Me

Please Please Please is an indie rock band out of Kirksville, Missouri. Members are Dillon Lara (guitar/vox), Brad Burger (bass/vox) and Jeremy Morton (drums/vox/keyboards/percussion). The band formed in mid - 2005 in search of satisfying their musical goals and dreams.
Musical Influences range from Jimmy Eat World to Bob Dylan to At The Drive-In. Soaring atmospheric textures meet chugging bass and thunderous percussion in a wall of sound that is familiar, yet a sound all of its own. They do no push any belief on listeners, but rather strive to write songs that give a message of hope and faith.
They have gone on two self-booked/funded tours of the midwest. They self released "S/T" in 2006, "Seasons EP" in 2007, "Naipotu" in 2007, and are currently writing and recording their currently untitled third full length record - due out (hopefully) in Spring of 2008. A southwest/westcoast tour will follow in late summer of 2008.
They have shared the stage with several bands, Notably...The Appleseed Cast, Unwed Sailor, Latterman, Long Since Forgotten, The Casettes, Kiss Kiss, Caleb Engstrom, Ike Reilly Assassination, Romantica, Ha Ha Tonka (Amsterband), The Effects, Poison Control Center, Theodore, Umbros and of course...The Engaged.
