With Broken Wings was formed in 2002 by Larry Fernandez, original guitar player Jose Gonzales, Steven Rodriguez, Larry Rodriguez, and Mario Figueroa under the name “Aesthic Failure”. However the name was soon forgotten when the suggestion of “With Broken Wings” came into play. We recorded a low budget 3 track demo through a friend at a home studio. Over the course of 3 days we recorded what became “In My Dreams”, “The Birth Of Catastrophe”, and “A Beautiful Tradgedy”. Soon after, we decided to replace Mario with Christian Absi on Bass. After a meeting with Drive Thru Records owner Richard Reines, we began working on our debut EP “Tonight Is The Night My Heart Stops.” We headed over to Lovejuice Laboratorys in La Habra, CA. We worked with Engineers Lui ? and Justin Powell (of A Thorn For Every Heart). In two days we were able to complete the EP, which consisted of 6 songs (the last song is hidden!). We re-recorded new versions of “In My Dreams”, “The Birth Of Catastrophe”, and “A Beautiful Tradgedy”. We also recorded “Sympathy Page”, “Lost In The Midst Of Chaos”, and the (hidden) title track of the album “Tonight Is The Night My Heart Stops…”. The CD was independently released on July 25th, 2003…and so far it’s gotten us a great following and a lot of exposure. Recently, Jose Gonzales made the decision to part ways with the band, and after a few weeks of looking, we came across Mike Reyes. With a new guitar player, new music, an amazing live set, and plans for upcoming tour dates sometime in Spring 2004 + Summer 2004, we are sure to go above and beyond what anyone (including ourselves) expected… |
