Murfreesboro's thriving indie rock scene brought members Denis Beck (guitar), Andy Spore (drums), Adam Richardson (piano), John Burr (vocals) and Jack Hughey (bass) together from places like Rome, Ga. and Oakridge, Tenn., to form the band.
After many "heinous processes" of picking a band name, they received How I Became The Bomb from Shane Spresser, lead singer of Velcro Stars, when they opened for them at the Temptation Club last June.
How I Became The Bomb's show at the Boro last Thursday evening was a nonstop, entertaining performance that featured Richardson's amazing piano playing with Burr's and Beck's vocal harmonies.
The audience enthusiastically danced and sang along to every song without noticing Spore's slow drumming technique.
The energized audience sang along to How I Became the Bomb's original "Fat Girls Talkin' Bout Cardio" and Devo's "Gut Feelin'/Slap Your Mammy," while Hughey convinced everyone to clap along
to the beat.
Their debut EP is coming out in April and will be available at all of their shows.
