Formed in Rochester, New York in 2009, pop-punk rockers, Forget Me In Vegas, performed at numerous local and regional venues, quickly developing a loyal fanbase locally and an even larger online following. They refer to their fans as "High Rollers"
Their first recording, a 6-song EP, titled "Get Gone, Stay Gone" after the single was released in December 2010 for free to download. They opened for several well-known rock acts including Mayday Parade, Cute Is What We Aim For, Action Item, and Punchline. In April 2011, the band released a single called "Is Anyone Up", a song condoning sexting and the popular website Is Anyone Up?, teasing their first full-length album due out in late 2011/early 2012. Forget Me In Vegas took a large step when they were voted on to the Vans Warped Tour in 2011, playing the Ernie Ball Stage at the Buffalo, NY (Darien Center) show on July 12 of that year.[1]
The band is currently working on their first full length record which is set to be finished and released before the end of 2011. They are also planning to tour the Northeast/Midwest of the United States late this summer and early fall.
The name Forget Me In Vegas comes from the band all going on a trip to Vegas together once a couple years ago while in past bands and accidentally left Chris (now Lead Vocals) at the Palms. According to the band "His taxi got stuck in traffic and his phone had died so we we’re all kind of freaking out. Long story short, we missed our flight because we almost forgot Chris in Vegas and thought that’d be a rad band name. So when all of our past projects broke up and we decided to form this project, it just fit.."
Forget Me In Vegas was originally a band thrown together at the last minute to jump on a show supporting Mayday Parade, they have established an increasingly large and intensely loyal fan base, hailing from all corners of the world. Forget Me In Vegas prides itself on staying in constant touch with their fans through responding to every comment, tweet, message, email, etc. that comes their way. The band also streams their live performances and has weekly featured webcasts Sunday nights at 7PM EST on www.stickam.com/forgetmeinvegas which tend to acquire 20,000+ viewers from all over the world. Their debut EP "Get Gone, Stay Gone" was released on December 17, 2010 for free to download. Since then, it has been downloaded over 15,000 times worldwide on multiple music sharing sites. "Influenced by girls, partying, and just living life, FMIV's freshman album, produced by Steve Sopchak, is a musical journey of allusion with lyrics that bring out those universal feelings, to create an album that will surely be played all over the world." - Kellyé West, YoungHollywood.com Staff.[2]
