Next band to enter the ring for the local band slot on the Edgefest 2009 Little Rock ticket...

Affectus




Affectus is a band comprised of members from the Arkansas River Valley area that have been cutting their teeth in the local music scene for the better part of a decade. Founding members have been earning their stripes with several local acts since their early high school years. Each member of the band has been honing their craft since the ages of 13 to 15 years old. The name Affectus is derived from the Latin term meaning "emotion," "disposition of mind," or "to affect." That sums up the goal of the band, which is not to just simply put on a good show, but to tug at every human emotion and offer an unforgettable experience that could change the lives of those who listen. The music is a unique blend of modern rock, with passionate and beautiful vocals, innovative drums, dynamic and raging guitars, vigorous bass, and intoxicating harmonies.

Bio: Vocalist: John Warren, Guitarist: Blake Pendergrass, Bassist: Brandon Nolan, and Drummer: Kyle Southall are four best friends who share a common dream, music. Like so many struggling musicians, the road has been incredibly difficult, but after 6 years, it has only made them stronger. Members have come and gone. Friends and lovers were lost along the way. So much has happened. Yet, they are still here. Affectus has won and placed in several competitions, played coliseums in front of thousands, and played clubs in front of 30. Still, they drive for so much more. There are few more humble of places than Johnson County, but they do not claim to be from anywhere larger. It is there that they hold tight to their roots and inspirations. Affectus, as a group, made a decision years ago, to do this right. Each of the members is professionally trained and extremely talented. One will not find a harder working four than the boys of Affectus. Fame, the immortality of fame, a dream of a future, is what they all desire more than anything else in this world. Their hearts and souls are poured into each and every song they write. They have a sound, a powerful, beautiful sound, that promises to be New, to everyone's ears. They only beg, to be heard.
