Give Away The Plot

Give Away The Plot formed in June 2006, membership then including Andy Ferris (guitar/vox), Shawn Hoffman (guitar), Jake Nichols (drums), and Seth McDuffee (bass/vox). Under the premise of four musicians writing a concept album, the group embarked on what then became "The Ecliptic." The first album tells the story of one's last days on earth, whilst knowingly reaching an apocalypse. In their baby steps as a band, GATP went the experimental, arty route, while trying maintain the hooks of a debut record. Soon following "The Ecliptic" release, McDuffee left the band.

In early 2008, Give Away The Plot began writing on their follow-up disc, "Mannequin Peepshow." Wanting to stray away from such a constrictive topic, the band went back to regular, sporadic songwriting, individually, and as a band. In this time, the band had a few live bassists, and played gigs in support of their first album. That summer, the band's "Ecliptic" track, "Nostalgia," was featured on the Future Destination Records compilation, "The Good Times," a beginning in potentially reaching the band to a wider audience.

That fall, the group was joined on bass by musician/songwriter Byron Tasseff. Coming in late, but certainly adding Tasseff's style to the mix, the band's sound is noticeably evolving. Blending hints of alternative/indie rock, with a ranging sound-scape of psychedelic and experimental ideas, Give Away The Plot is approaching it's destination of artistic freedom.
