disBAND: Mean Tangerine’s Verdict
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
[Catch a repeat of Mean T's disBAND episode on December 2 at 3pm & 11pm ET!]
Well, we got told to disBand. It’s embarrassing as shit, but only cos watching the playback my fly was open the whole goddam time. Joking.. I’m more presentable then that obv. But seriously it sucked, I felt like we killed the song, had the crowd into it, and performed like we always do. The judges obviously know what they’re talking about, but that doesn’t change the fact that we feel we have what it takes. Our moms tell us that all the time, and there’s no way they’re calling my mom a liar. Make sure you fans vote for us to get us back on, at the Much website!!! This is only the beginning!!
If you missed this episode, watch the full thing online now!

disBAND: The Fate of Mean Tangerine!
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
[Tune in for the premier of disBAND season 2 tonight at 6pm ET!! Our first band is the juicy Mean Tangerine...]
So today’s the day we either get told we have what it takes, and become so famous and respected that I never have to listen to anyone ever again - even friendly people. OR we get told to disBand, and we burn down the MuchMusic buiding. Joking, but seriously..
We’re obviously pretty nervous, and we’re all showing it in different ways. Jesse can’t stop eating, Mike has been crying in the fetal position for a couple hours, Brent has been looking in the mirror combing his hair, singing the song from the Eight Mile soundtrack for wayyyyy too long, and I’ve just been doing what I usually do, which is work out, and make out with really hot girls. We’re comfortable with the song we have to perform, and I’m confident. I won’t be shook if we get told to disBand just cos it’ll work out regardless thanks to our fans, and our everlasting hetero love.

disBAND: Reverse’s Perma-Smile
Friday, November 13th, 2009
Check out Reverse on season 2 of disBAND!
Hello world! This is Dizz, 1/3 of Toronto based Pop/R&B group REVERSE speaking (typing) to you live from rehearsal. We don’t stop haha =P
So life is pretty crazy right now. From the moment we found out that REVERSE was selected to be one of the 13 bands for season 2 of disBAND, we’ve been foaming at the mouth due to the high level of excitement. We are pretty much on ‘uber-rampage’ mode right now, trying to perfect our craft for what truly is an opportunity of a lifetime. We’ve been literally fighting for this kind of chance to share our music with the world FOREVER now. We won’t let it slip through our fingers! Now enough with the rampaging talk lol. Let me tell you just how we found out about this whole disBAND hoopla.

disBAND: These Kids Wear Crowns
Monday, November 9th, 2009
Being on the far side of the world (since we are from Vancouver-ish BC, to us, that’s Toronto) was a great experience for the band, individually and as a whole. We had too much fun to repeat any of it in character form (vowels and/or consonants). All in all, we wanna go back! And we wanna go back soon! Is what we were all thinking…
…Then, whilst driving in our van, Pamela Vanderson (who by the way is quite roomy and comfortable, contrary to popular belief), we got word that we have been selected to be one of the 13 bands on season 2’s season of disBAND! BOOM! Van explodes with eruptions of great excitement and vibrant smiles, most of which caused parallel concerned drivers to yield to a vehicle full of smiling, ecstatic and possibly mildly insane escaped crazy people. But we aren’t crazy, nor were we at the time, we just … had a moment. A moment of pure insanity.

disBAND: The Stiff Wires
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Check out The Stiff Wires on season 2 of disBAND…
Hello! We’re The Stiff Wires out of the Speed City, London, Ontario. We are what some have called a punk band, which probably won’t happen again and not your stereotypical MuchMusic band. Although we have developed somewhat of a Power Pop feel over time we’re still not really what would be considered the Much look and feel. Hopefully us being on disBAND can somehow change what that definition is, in any minor way.
Our road to disBAND was not one we took lightly and it was more of a push by our manager Joe. At first most of the band was very resistant about doing something on such a mainstream level, knowing full well what the backlash from some too punk for you’s would be.

disBAND: Street Pharmacy
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Watch out for Street Pharmacy on season 2 of of disBAND!
For the last 3 years, my three best friends and I have slugged it out at small clubs, bars, basements, lift bridges, house parties and various other places in and around Southern Ontario in pursuit of hewing our craft; professional musicianship. We have written and recorded 3 full-length albums, travelled to Cuba to record one of them and self-produced two professional music videos. We did all of this while the four of us successfully obtained university degrees while living in four different cities all over Ontario. Sometimes, we would have to learn new songs in the parking lot of the clubs before we played our set due to our scholastic obligations and geographical separation but somehow, we always had the time of our lives. To say our plate has been full for the last 3 years is an understatement.

disBAND: Syla Vale
Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Watch out for Syla on this season of disBAND!
The moment I found out I made it on disBAND, I was absolutely shocked! I was really nervous, especially when I had to go up against Beth Moore for a second round of my audition. I didn’t know what the judges had critiqued her on her audition, therefore I had no idea what to expect. So I kind of just went with my gut instinct and the judges put me through! WHOA HOO! It was definfitely a moment of relief and excitement! From that moment on, I was ready to start preparing myself to prove to Greig Nori that I have what it takes to be on DisBAND! BOOYAA! =D

disBAND: Maddy Rodriguez
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
Check out Maddy on this season of disBAND!
My name is Maddy Rodriguez. I’m a 15-year-old singer/songwriter and I want to be an Acoustic country/pop recording artist. I just found out that I’m going to be on this season of Much Music’s disBAND.
I thought I’d share with you how it all happened. Over the summer I worked really hard writing everyday and performing everywhere I could. After playing many open mics and coffee shop gigs, I realized that my songs needed something more. A little umph, you know? I knew that having a band behind me would really make my songs come alive. So, my Dad and I put out ads and then auditioned different musicians in order to find me a band!

disBAND: Em
Friday, November 6th, 2009
Check out Em on this season of disBAND!
Stoked is an understatement. When I got a phone call from Greig Nori asking me if I wanted to come to Toronto to be on disBAND Season 2, I freaked. I’ve been working my butt off for the last 4 years releasing and promoting my music independently. It’s been a crazy learning experience so far, and I’ve accomplished more than I thought I would.
Still, I need to take things to the next level. I can’t wait to perform in front of people with real pull. I’ve grown up watching MUCH, and I’m stoked to even set foot in the building for the first time… let alone play! Am I nervous about what MUCH is going to put me through in Toronto? Absolutely. But I’ve learned that if something scares the crap out of you, it’s always worth doing. Dear disBAND: Its go time.
