James Dewees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Dewees (also known as "Reggie" & "Klaus", formerly known as "Paco") is a keyboardist and back-up vocalist.

He is well known for being the man behind Reggie and the Full Effect, a project for which he writes all the music and plays most of the instruments himself. The band's most recent album is 2005's Songs Not to Get Married To, on Vagrant Records. Under the Reggie and the Full Effect moniker, DeWees "fronts" the metal band Common Denomonator from Finland as Klaus, and euro-pop sensations Fluxuation.

Dewees was the keyboardist and back-up vocalist in recently defunct emo legends The Get Up Kids, and prior to that was the drummer in metalcore act Coalesce. Recently, Dewees also briefly played keyboards in New Found Glory, appearing on their Catalyst album, and subsequent tours.

Dewees currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
