Like it says on their Myspace page, Long Island's The Fearless is ready for world domination. And anyone who takes a sample of the collection of tunes featured on the page will see it's hard not to imagine their worldly aspirations gracing computer screens all across the world.
"It's so crazy now because with a MySpace page, it's like "Who needs a website?" says guitarist/vocalist John Neder in a phone interview conducted from his Long Island home. This summer, The Fearless have been packing the Long Island clubs with eager fans and curious observers alike. "Now that people have access to the music [at the Myspace page], I see more and more people singing along with us, and that's really great - because we're just a much better band in a live setting when we've got this kinetic energy going between us and the fans. We're wild up there, and it's no fun when there's no one else to share that with."
If this weekend serves as any indication, The Fearless won't ever have to worry about playing to an empty ballroom. This Saturday night at Mulcahy's in Wantagh, Long Island, the band will be featured as one of the finalists in The Long Island Music Festival, sponsored by Good Times Magazine. Neder, a festival winner in a previous outfit - has an altruistic outlook on the festival, and its impending outcome. "You know, it would be really great to win the whole thing, but they've got an early projection of a thousand attendees at this thing, and that's definitely the largest crowd we'd ever played to. Just to get to this far is enough in itself."
The Fearless, with their uncanny harmonies - like if Revolver was made by the Kings of Leon instead of The Beatles - are the surely the act to catch at this year's festival, but if you miss them, they'll be at the Arlene Grocery in NYC on September 21st. From there, the band will retreat back to their own studio, deep in the sand of Long Island, and by November, we should be able to expect brand new material from The Fearless. And continuing the tradition, it will all be featured on their MySpace page.
