Copperview

Saint Louis is city with a countless number of 20-somethings who share one dream - to make it in the land of rock and roll stardom. For every band that sinks, there's two more waiting in the wings. It's relatively simple to put four or five people together in a room, give them varying instruments and tell them to give it all they've got. More than likely, they'll produce musical sounds with the smoothness of chunky peanut butter. But if you take five seasoned musicians with raw talent and a passion for rock, throw them in a blender with some blues and alot of alcohol, you'll pour out a tall frosty glass of a band called Copperview. They take everything plus the kitchen sink, and make it sound like something amazing. Each band mate of Copperview is a former member of a touring band from Missouri. Toby Picker (lead guitar) was formally of Six by Silver, Jeremy Patterson (drums) and David Kopp (bass) were previously the rhythm section of gunderson, and Samuel Baker (vocals) was the front man of Morning After. Combined, the members of Copperview have spent more than twenty years on stage - and it shows. Copperview's music is versatile enough to become popular/acceptable to the mainstream, without being shallow or "pop"-y. They're not out to achieve MTV status or to become the next teeny-bopper-worshipped band. Copperview is here to ROCK. Their songs are infectious, with a catchy bassline, great drums/rhythm, guitars that shred the freaky nar-nar, and in-your-face style + lyrics. You will find yourself wanting to sing along, except that you don't know the words - yet. Copperview is currently working on recording their full-length album, and hope to have it released sometime soon. These guys eat, drink and sleep the idea behind the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. But it's not just the musical aspect of the group that motivates them - they're in it for the fans too. Whether you were a fan of their respective previous projects or not, the guys make sure you're a part of the new band's family. Even though Copperview has only been around for just shy of a year, they have fast become a favorite of anyone who has had the privilege of catching them in action. Once word of mouth works it's magic, people won't be going to Copperview shows JUST to hear the in your face rock in roll tunes, they'll be going out for an honest-to-goodness show. And they're going to get it. So bring along an extra pair of socks... Yours are about to be rocked off by Copperview.
