+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| Post-punk popsters Longwave got their start in 1999 when Steve Schlitz |
| (vocals/guitar), Shannon Ferguson (guitar), Dave Marchese (bass), and |
| Mike James (drums) congregated in a small New York studio to record some |
| demos. The lineup had been fledgling for a number of years and Schlitz |
| had been sitting on a stack of sweeping melodies, but once Ferguson left |
| the sunny skies of California behind Longwave developed a space |
| rock-tinged sound. Gigs in lower Manhattan melded the group's |
| U2-inspired sound and also caught the eye of Luna Lounge owner Rob |
| Sacher. Sacher founded Luna Sea Records soon after spotting Longwave and |
| offered the band a deal. Endsongs marked Longwave's debut in fall 2000. |
| It was an impressive first record full of lush string arrangements |
| surfing around heavy guitars, certainly a different fit to what was |
| currently happening in New York City at the time; the Strokes were hot |
| and Detroit's own White Stripes were on a rock rampage. |
| |
| In 2002, Longwave formulated a darker disposition for the Day Sleeper |
| EP. Within a week of its release, the Strokes' manager asked Longwave to |
| play three dates with his stylish, rambunctious five-piece. The Strokes |
| were so impressed, Longwave landed the opening spot for the rest of the |
| tour. Such an opportunity allowed great publicity for the band, not to |
| mention a contract with RCA. Producer Dave Fridmann (the Flaming Lips, |
| Mercury Rev, Mogwai) collected the band in his Tarbox Road Studio in |
| up-state New York to work on Longwave's major-label debut before the |
| year's end. What followed was the dreamy williwaw of The Strangest |
| Things, released in March 2003. Shortly after the June 2004 release of |
| the Life of the Party EP, founding members Marchese and James left the |
| band. Drummer Nic Brown and bassist Christian Bongers stepped in as |
| temporary replacements so the band could resume recording their |
| sophomore album with producer John Leckie.There's A Fire was released in |
| June 2005. |
