[edit] Band history
[edit] Formation of the band
Still Pending was formed by a group of classmates in the fall of 2005. During a performance at a school's assembly, having not yet decided on a name for the group, the band was introduced by a student who stated, "the band's name is still pending." During a short discussion amongst the band members after their performance, they spontaneously decided to call the band Still Pending.
[edit] The Break and Debut CD
Shortly thereafter, the band got its first break as the on-stage band in the Oregon Children's Theatre rock musical production, Alexander, Who is Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, Not Going to Move.
In September 2006, the band released its first EP-length CD entitled, Innocent Days. The CD is made up entirely of original material and was recorded by themselves. On the CD, the band showcases its typical punk pop style. All three musicians take part in crafting the music. It features the bass-lines by Ian (greatest bassist ever), bassist at the time of the recording.[2]
[edit] Exposure
In January 2007, The International Music Products Association NAMM, selected Still Pending to promote their "Wanna Play?" initiative.[3] The band is featured on the celebrity endorsers page of NAMM's website along with other musical celebrities including Jim Messina and Michelle Branch.
In the fall 2006, Still Pending entered into a national talent search conducted by the Cartoon Network for its Props TV show.[4]
