REDEFINING THE 3 PIECE BAND
Why a 3 piece band? “We just make it work” says Daniel J., founding member of Negative Filter… we love the 3 piece band dynamic, all of us have been and until this date are big fans of a lot of 3 piece bands that have made it work .
Negative Filter, based out of San Diego, is a Binational project, with musicians form San Diego and Tijuana, was formed back in the summer of 2003 in Tijuana Mexico where they performed in local venues and music festivals across the state, current members includes Daniel J. – vocals and guitar, Alex Brahms – Drums and Joel Sotomayor – Bass.
In 2005, the three-piece alternative rock band decided to take it to the next level and cross their music over the border, gaining immediate acceptance by performing in well know venues all over San Diego and Los Angeles, and by releasing a five song demo CD.
NF, whose genre can be classified as alternative rock is easily seperated from the rest by their melodic, powerful, dark sound and their roots that dig deep into metal, hard rock, progressive, and blues
In 2006 the band redefined its sound and closed the cycle of changes by winning the infamous ‘LOS ANGELES MUSIC AWARD FOR METAL ARTIST OF THE YEAR’ which was featured on L.A. ‘s Dirty Dave show at KCLA
In march of 2007, continuing the hard work, the band released their first Indie album entitled THE BLACKOUT and have been playing all around San Diego, north county and Los Angeles; to top things off they have had local radio airtime on "Missi's Loud and Local” show at Rock 105.3 and where featured on San Diego Reader july 2007 edition , as well as being featured in FLASHROCK on there September 16th 2007 show.
In summer 2008 Negative Filter played Detour Live and Rick Ortiz Presents, both at the house of blues in San Diego and also went back to the studio and recorded a new EP, witch will be due out late October 2008.
