About Me
In 2007 after 3 years of living in the shadows, Inde-rock band, House of Echo affectionately known by at least 10 people at the time, began to outgrow its loyal following on the Internet.
House OF Echo (aka H.O.E.) is a mainstream-rock band that represents the intersection of Rock and Soul music. The band has crafted a sound that exists on the edge of what many would consider pop-rock. H.O.E.'s appeal is universal, it is black, it is white, it is rock, it is soul. The music is defined by meaningful songwriting framed with compelling arrangements, delivered by skilled musicians.
House OF Echo draws comparisons to super-groups like Maroon 5, Dave Mathews Band, Sting and The Police. The band comprised of 5 characters, is the brainchild of David Tauler, aka EchO, a distant but slightly cooler relative of Napolian Dynamite. Tauler, a singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist, and YOYO enthusiast initially set out to record a solo project and built a colorful rock band along the way.
House of Echo endeavors to populate the playlist's of the cool and un-cool people worldwide, one Mp3 player at a time. The band is set to release their debut CD in 08', 4 years after Dave's first demo, "Echo Dreamworld" hit the streets and attracted the band members on the strength of the material.
H.O.E. is:
David Tauler aka Echo- Lead singer, songwriter, saxaphone, piano, harmonica, YoYo
Paul Eldridge- Lead guitar, background vocals (also plays drums, keyboards)
Alfonzo Chapman aka Fonz- Drums (also plays bass guitar, keyboards, writes and produces)
Teo Lee- Bass guitar, (also writes and produces)
Derrick Dorsey- Rythm guitar, (New Member Formerly of Jimmie's Chicken Shack. also writes and produces)
Music Freedom, an online trade magazine discovered H.O.E. on Myspace and reviewed their work. The following excerpt ran on the front page of publication's website in 2007:
"Perhaps it's ironically fitting that the nation's capital, where divisions often rage, has given birth to a musical act that promises to cross more than a few boundaries. Grounded by smart lyrics and creative instrumentation, Washington, DC-based House of EchO, offers its listeners a mash-up of rock, funk, and soul. By melding rock guitar with funky drums and bass and gospel-inflected keys, what began as one man's solo project has emerged as an engaging musical hybrid."
