Bio / Background
News about a band you don't know:
2005: The album "The First of the Fifth is about the past four years, experiencing life in Akron and Toledo Ohio, Los Angeles, Richmond Va., Detroit MI, and Chicago. IL. The tracks were recorded in garages, basements, churches, houses and apartments of Akron and Toledo, Ohio and Chicago, Illinois over a span of 4 years.
The CD also has a 60 page book of lyrics, pictures, and ramblings about the meanings of the songs and the current condition of the recording industry.
Frozen Inertia Timeline:
1998:Tim and Brad begin recording stuff. Sometimes this would just be a drum track, sometimes keyboard part, or guitar or bass part, but all the music was played and recorded by Brad and Tim. The tracks were then mixed on a 4-track tape recorder, and then uploaded to a computer to be roughly mixed on to CD. This was actually kind of a new way to record a demo at the time, especially with the limited budget of pocket change.
↓ more ↓However; the finished product, while of rough quality, was good enough to create local attention at our school at the time. The educational song "periodic table of elements" was used in the science class at the school, and is still used today.
1998/1999: Tim and Brad graduate High School, and make a second CD entitled "Hemidemisemiquaver". The recording technique quality is greatly improved. Also, a few other people are brought in to help with the instrumentation. Daryl Largent sang lead vocals on "the puritan song" which is currently being used in several educational classrooms. Tammy Saurman added several saxophone parts, and other horn parts were added by Denny Dayton and Jennifer Lauderback. Most of the songs on the CD were aired on Akron's Public Radio Station: 91.3 FM. This included an hour show with interview, and several airings of the song "unspoken anger" as a local spotlight.
2000: Frozen Inertia get help by adding an extra 13 people on the CD "Frozen Inertia and Their Fake Band". This created the fullest sound of the recordings to date. Simon Shaffer was added to the live band and played guitar on most of the tracks on that album. The band were able to play several successful live gigs around the local Akron/Canton area, and create a small fan base, that to this day, the band is unaware of.
2001: Tim gets commercial ,and joins a band called "Glass Jo" in late 2000, which, in retrospect helped (or hurt) the writing skills of the Frozen Inertia band. Brad joined the band on drums in late 2001 and the band played extensively around the Akron/Canton are and parts of Pennsylvania. Tim also learns about the unusual business side of band managers and producers through random conversations to Tennessee and visits to Los Angeles.
2002: Tim Gets Greedy, and moves to Toledo to finish college. Also, creates Frozen Inertia: Phase 4, which is a mix of electronic, and drum heavy music. Brad plays drums half the album, but the sound of live drums is mostly missing. It's considered to be a transitional album.
2003/2004: A band in two locations, Tim currently lives in Chicago, and is recording material with Brad via long distance. The Idea for the new CD is to take the best elements, and songs from the previous 5 years, re-record and re-write them, and create a collection of about 10 songs. The sounds will have elements of the "garage" sound of the first CD mixed with the live "jazz" sound of the third cd, and blend it with the electronic sound of the fourth. In November 2004, the album "The First of the Fifth" was finished. Also, in March of 2004, our website http://fimusic.org was launched, which recieved over 10,000 hits by December 2004. Not much, but not bad for a band with no marketing budget.
