The Gorgeous
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gorgeous were a metalcore band based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band formed in the summer of 2003 with Dali on guitar, Julien on Bass and Miguel on drums. The three played a few shows without a vocalist and quickly recruited Jordon.
The band recorded a five song demo at Flying Monkey Studio in Kelowna and took a one year hiatus. The following summer, the band had an opportunity to tour Canada upon which they decided to relocate to Montreal and renew their music career. In Montreal they recruited Hal Ferris on second Guitar. Shortly after, the Gorgeous was signed to Distort Entertainment and in the fall of 2005 recorded Great Lakes at Silo Studios in Stoney Creek. The Gorgeous subsequently toured Canada several times and in January 2007 toured the UK as direct support for the Architects. A few months prior to this tour, Hal decided to go back to school and was replaced by Kevin Keegan from A Javelin Reign and Bend Sinister. The Gorgeous recorded one last demo to be used as promo for their upcoming album and the four new songs are as of now unreleased.
They toured with the Cancer Bats in 2007 on their last tour.
On March 7, 2007 on their MySpace page, the band announced they were breaking up.
