The Few

Alternative, Pop Rock | Knoxville, Tennessee

When a band starts over with a new singer, it's like being given a blank canvas, and The Few decided to go all Jackson Pollock on it. The Knoxville, Tennessee band's members have been literally painting themselves for both promotional photos and live shows. It's a visual gimmick the members thought would help give the band a fun vibe that's often lacking in the current, oh-so-serious rock landscape.

"We racked our brains trying to come up with a concept that would be different," said guitarist Seth Rowlette.

The band's sound, on the other hand, is still a work in progress. Having just formed in January, The Few has had a busy six months writing new material, taking it into the studio and preparing for a tour that includes a slot at Rockapalooza on Saturday at the Jackson County Fairgrounds.

"We had a game plan right off the bat," Rowlette said. "We just hit the ground running and tried not to waste any time." The band members have plenty of prior experience when it comes to life on the road. Rowlette and the rest of the rhythm section spent five years together in a band. When they decided to take a new direction, they invited Lindsey Stamey, another member of the Knoxville scene whose previous band had just broken up, to join them on vocals.

Adding Stamey immediately changed the band's sound. It also made it easy to lump the band in with other popular rock bands from the South that lace post-grunge riffs with melodic female vocals, which doesn't bother Rowlette in the slightest. "We get a lot of comparisons to Flyleaf, Paramore and Evanescence," he said. "Those are amazing. I'll take those any day."

Though the band shouldn't have trouble fitting in with the rest of the hard-rock and metal acts playing at Rockapalooza, "we don't consider ours a heavy rock band," Rowlette said. "We have some indie influences and even some dance influences. We're really just trying to write as much as possible, defining our sound with every song we write."

Members: Lindsey Stamey (Vocals), Thomas Boyd (Bass), Colin Cunningham (Drums), Seth Rowlette (Guitar), Cameron Cunningham (Keyboards)

After releasing their debut EP the band changed their name to Oh No Fiasco.
