disBAND: Futures Past

December 29th, 2008

[Watch a new episode of disBAND tomorrow, Tuesday @ 6pm ET to see how Toronto-based Futures Past fare. For now, peep this blog from vocalist Ricky to hear what he thought of the band's experience on the show! - Kat]

Hello planet earth, we are futures past. We like to think of ourselves as a group of five superheroes, but instead of having powers, we write some pretty spruce songs together. So much that we want to share them with everyone, so if you haven’t heard us yet we hope you will very soon!

What can we say about disBAND – it all happened so fast. Like a hit and run that left a neato bruise you couldn’t wait to show all of your friends, family and fans. We knew going into it we had a good shot at impressing the judges. The only reasons they wouldn’t like us that came to mind were 1) they hate fun or 2) they don’t love their family.

Haha just kidding. We were mega stoked to be on the show, but when we got to the shoot nothing was what we expected (just watch and find out!) We were stumped, but still pretty excited. I think it’s fair to say these three days were filled with the most suspense, surprises, anxiety, and drama.

The entire experience was rewarding for all of us. We met a barrel full of great people who guided us, inspired us, and taught us a whole bunch about music industry, and what it takes to make it. This experience has brought us all closer together as a band. The music we are beginning to create is what we have always wanted to make. It eels like we are a new band with the new direction of music and we are ridiculously excited for you guys to listen to our tunes. It’s gonna make you bump and grind! Although our EP Prophecy was released in January, we are busy writing new material for a release in the distant future. Until then, enjoy some of our singles, video blogs, and downloads we will have up on our MySpace page.

The biggest thing for us as a band is our fans and individuals who go out of their way to support us and help us out. Without all of you guys we would be nowhere so to spend an entire weekend surrounded by you was something all of us are mega grateful for. We would like to thank everyone at MuchMusic who has made this experience possible. The music industry is very arduous so an opportunity to showcase our passion on national TV is always a welcomed change.

We hope you enjoyed our episode of disBAMD, we worked really hard at it. Actually that was a lie, we were treated like kings and had the most baller time possible. But just before you scamper off to watch the episode over and over again, we wanted to thank everyone for all your support and say how much we love you all. Find us on MySpace, search our videos on YouYube, and leave us comments and messages. Let’s a build a friendship that will last forever ;). O yea one last thing, Alex usually doesn’t take his clothes off as often as we made him for this episode. Actually that’s a lie too.

Love,

Futures Past
