Heroes of Idleness

About Me

Heroes of Idleness is a musical trio devoted to achieving a classic rock vibe with an indie sound. The three members, Nigel Hames (guitar, vocals), Robert Stephensen (drums, vocals), and Joe Wright (bass, vocals) have been playing and performing together for nearly three years and have developed a set consisting of catchy, eclectic tunes. With heavy influences from such bands as Led Zeppelin, Pixies, Johnny Cash, The Doors, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam, their tastes have combined to create an uncommon sound. They are dedicated to professionalism while ensuring their audience has a good time.Past performances have included The Haven (Winter Park), The Liquid Cellar (Orlando), The Blind Pig Pub (Deland), etc. They recently were asked to play the Deland Music Festival, and were also added to a second stage to accommodate another band’s cancellation.More information and musical samples from Heroes of Idleness may be found at myspace.com/heroesofidleness or youtube.com/heroesofidleness.
