SEIDOAN
(seh - doe - in)Seidoan is an experimental indie-rock band from Boone, NC that has developed a strong following in and around the mountains of North Carolina. “Seidoan,†a Buddhist term meaning violent meditation, found it’s place with the members by accident in the Fall of 2005 when the infamous “SEIDOAN†sign appeared at their practice house and quickly caught on to become, not only a name, but a state of mind. With numerous influences, Seidoan transcends genres with sounds ranging from punk and reggae to alt-country and rock ‘n roll. In addition to having a wide variety of original songs, Seidoan has also covered songs by the Meters, Merle Haggard, Rage Against the Machine, Bob Marley and Ween among others. As college students on the campus of Appalachian State University, Seidoan started playing parties and benefit gigs supporting the community and quickly worked their way into the bar scene. Seidoan began refining their sound during the summer of 2006 and performed at such festivals as the Off The Grid Music Festival and as an opener for nationally touring acts at the Trade Music Farm in late August. Their debut self-titled EP was released in early December 2006 and has received great response. In January of 2007, Seidoan was asked to appear on the first Boone music compilation album entitled “Boone Music Scene Vol. 1†released in early April of 2007 and distributed nationally. With a strong love of music, the members of Seidoan look to the future with endless drive and desire to take their “state of mind†to the world. Seidoan is entering the studio once again in early 2008 to record there first full length release.
