Knock Me Down by Katie Horner

Saturday November 17, 2007, the new and improved local Seattle band, Knock Me Down, plays their first show with new members Mitch Duncan, and Gabriel Slatten. Excited with the new energy and talent brought to the band, original band members Daniel Sande and April Reeves, hope this jump start will send their songs souring to the tops of the charts.

Previously they considered themselves a upbeat pop-rock band, Knock Me Down vocalist Sande says, “We are working towards slowing it down and making a more radio friendly pop-rock.” Their goal right now is to record an album on which every track could be released as a single.

The bands musical influences come across all genres. For example Slatten grew up with brothers listening to 80’s rock and now draws a lot of his inspiration from bands like Poison and Duran Duran. But Reeves grew up with family who loved the Beatles, Buddy Holly and the Beach Boys.

All members hope to someday have the band be their source of income, but as of now outside jobs are crucial. Duncan, also known as “The Champion,” just recently moved to Seattle from Spokane and is a student at University Of Washington. Duncan, and Reeves both work at local preschools. Sande works in Bremerton, and Slatten works in the sound department at a major label.

Knock Me Down hopes to record their first full length record this winter and are working on getting into the studio with MxPx lead singer, Mike Herrera. Knock Me Down plays Nov. 17^th in Chehalis at 7pm. For calender details and more information, visit their official website at www.myspace.com/knockmedownmusic.
