Forgive Durden is an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington, who got their name from the novel Fight Club. They are signed to Fueled By Ramen. Fueled By Ramen released Forgive Durden's first full-length album, Wonderland, on May 9, 2006.
On January 27, 2008, lead singer Thomas Dutton announced on the band's blog that the other three members had decided to leave the band, citing personality conflicts as the primary reason.[1] He also announced that his brother Paul had been helping him write and record a new album, Razia's Shadow: A Musical with the help of Gatsbys American Dream's Rudy Gajadhar playing drums, and Aaron Weiss from mewithoutYou as the narrator. It was not mentioned whether the other two had become full-time members of the band. When performing live, Dutton has recruited numerous members to perform live including Fred Mascherino, Dave Melillo, and Casey Crescenzo.[2]
On August 4, 2010, Dutton announced that he would be playing a special, one night only performance of their debut album Wonderland at El Corazon in Seattle on September 10, 2010. It was also said to be his final hometown show, as he is moving to New York. Places & Numbers and Princess Dinosaur were also a part of the show. As well as local Seattle band, The Pilots.
