in Heaven started out as Jon Philpot, alone, in a studio, after
hours, in Atlanta Georgia. Then he moved to New York and it
was him, all alone, in his room, unemployed, trying to figure
out how to make music in his bedroom and get a job. Then comes
along James Elliott, a friend of friends from Table of the Elements.
They became friends, drank many drinks and went to Europe with
Presocratics. James started The Social Registry with Rich Zerbo,
left TSR and made music under the name Ateleia. Around that
same time, Sadek Bazarra moved to New York with his company
GHAVA. Jon and Sadek hung out, talked about girls, art and music.
Adam Wills was soon to follow. Jon and Adam worked together
at the studio in Atlanta. The first day Adam was in NYC he knew
more people than Jon did in a year. Soon all the friends came
together and Jon finished some songs. Old friend Scott Herren
released "Tunes Nextdoor to Songs" A short album.
Some call it an EP. Excitement was in the air and they started
playing the songs. Sort of. At that time, the group consisted
of everyone minus Joe Stickney, plus guitarist David Daniell.
Joe was an ol friend of Adam. He played drums with Paul Duncan
and liked Jon's drum kit. Joe jumped in, David jumped out, they
started writing songs and now I present to you Bear in Heaven. |
