LOVE MINUS ZERO is a band I play in based in the Delaware Valley outside of Wilmington DE/Kennett Square, PA or as Rob likes to say, "bass'd in Centreville, DE in my bass-ment"...
Formed in the spring of 2009 after a Facebook conversation between the popular singer/songwriter, Nik Everett and I, he'd suggested a Dylan cover band was in order. Bassist Rob Grant from the Cameltones saw the post and chimed in. Over the next few months the band formed long distance with planning and song lists and arrangement ideas flowing over 3000 miles of digital space.
The core band consists of Rob Grant (bass/vocals), Vinson Hendrix (drums/lighting director), Marilee Calabrese (keys/vocals/eye candy), Mr. Stevie Hobson (guitar extraordinaire/vocals), and moi (obnoxious frontman/vocals/guitars/harmonica). As often as we can corral her Marilee's daughter the spectabulous Guenevere Finley, joins us on vocals. On the videos from the Tin Angel below you will have the please of hearing the sublime sounds of drummer John DiGiovanni filling in with no rehearsal for Vinnie and nailing the gig.
There are a ton of vids floating out there online so we picked some of our favorites to collect here. Kind of an cornucopia of memories of our first year as a band. Hope you like 'em.
Big thanks to David Saddler for showing up and filming us. You da man, Dave
And real big thanks to His Zimminence, Bob Dylan for being Bob Dylan.
