    Artist History
    The Invisibles started with humble beginnings in the summer of 1999 with a group of high school friends playing their first show for a large group of drunken high schoolers in a small rural town in northwest Colorado. After having just graduated the band went separate ways to go to college Troy DeRose, the guitar player and primary singer songwriter and the former guitar player, now bass player Josh Roberts kept the dream of the invisibles despite living 150 miles apart and after finding a drummer in Grand Junction, CO where Troy attended college, they were soon reunited to reform The Invisibles. Under the new lineup The Invisibles played a number of shows with local bands as well as opening for Let’s Go Bowling and The Tossers winning over the hearts of many of the local youth while building a strong fan base. In the summer of 2000 they recorded their first full length album Farewell to Innocence in the living room of the house DeRose was living in. This self released album got airplay on the local college radio station and helped to get their name out and their reputation as a serious band in the area. In the fall of 2001, after personal conflicts and differences in direction the drummer quit and again left The Invisibles as just Roberts and DeRose. They had almost given up on the idea of playing that music despite strong new songs that had been written and the desire to play this music they had fallen in love with years earlier. A period of six months passed until Andy Thomas presented himself as a possible contender for the drummer position. Thomas, who was actually a fan of The Invisibles, fit in perfectly bringing a new clarity to the band and really sealing up the lineup. They began playing again opening for Denver based bands The Fairlanes and Laymen Terms, as well as The Teenage Tragedies and The Hudson Falcons. After a few months of playing with Thomas, The Invisibles decided to record their second full length album opting this time to use a real studio they went to Paradice Records a local recording studio and friend. Here they spent their evenings for the two months working on Walking Away From Things We’re Not. This album was quite a change from their previous album showing new mature song writing. With their album done and a tour on the schedule The Invisibles just recently added another member, Ethan Steenson as second guitar player, bringing a new fullness and dynamic to the band. They hope that this addition will develop their live sound to match what they created in the studio.

    Press Reviews
    This CD is a breath of fresh air in an era where the music is either too poppy or too political. "walking away from things we're not" helps reinforce the reasons I love punk rock. John Tonic (Tonic Press)
