The Early is one of those kooky little instrumental indie rock bands, whose major influences include Do Make Say Think, Built to Spill, and, of course, Third Eye Blind. The band features Ken Edelson and Alex Lewis on guitar, Tim Shrout on guitar and bass, Philippe Bronchtein on bass and keyboards, and Jacob "Hide Your Daughter" Nussbaum on drums. They took the world by storm when they stepped on the scene in 2004, playing a few local gigs in their hometown of Montclair, NJ. Throughout the next two years, they gained something of a creepy high school girl following, along with that of some normal people as well. In the winter of 2004, they earned an honorable mention at the Montclair High School Battle of the Bands, having only been together for a few months. The next year, they proceeded to take the gold. The Early disbanded in September of 2006, after playing one last incredible farewell concert, which included, "the best live version of any song I've ever heard, ever." Currently, the Early is busy pursuing their college educations, as well as their neverending quest to find some peyote.
