Downthesun was a six-piece nu metal band from Kansas City, Missouri/Des Moines, Iowa. ==History== The band was formed by bassist Lance "Kuk" Collier and samples operator Nathan Church who were in a local Kansas City band that opened for Slipknot. This put them in touch with Slipknot's Shawn "Clown" Crahan. The band went through several line-up and name changes before becoming Downthesun. The line up that recorded the album in June 2001 was: Aaron Peltz (vocals), Anthony "Satone" Stevens (vocals), Neil Godfrey (guitar), Lance Collier (bass), Nathan Church (electronics & vocals), Danny Spain (drums). In 2001 the band signed to Slipknot's Maggot Recordings label.〔D'Angelo, Joe (2001) "(Slipknot's Maggot Label Signs First Act; Members Moonlight With Others )", MTV, December 7, 2001, retrieved 2011-12-10〕 After recording the guitar tracks for their self-titled debut, Godfrey left the band to join first Motograter, and then Lo-Pro with former Ultraspank singer Pete Murray. The band then recruited Bruce Swink to handle the guitar for the band's live shows. Although listed on the album liner notes, Swink did not play on the album. Downthesun was briefly signed to London/Sire records before the label folded, leaving the band unsigned for a brief period of time. They were signed to Roadrunner Records and released their self-titled debut album in 2002.〔Torreano, Bradley "(Downthesun Biography )", Allmusic, retrieved 2011-12-10〕 Before the album's release, they shot a video for the song "Medicated", which was aired on MTV2's "Extreme Rock" and Fuse's "Uranium" shows, and can be viewed on YouTube. Early 2003, however, saw the band, for reasons unknown, experience a mass exodus of band members, as Aaron Peltz, Satone, Danny Spain, and Bruce Swink all left the band. Kuk and Church soldiered on, however, finding replacements for the departed members, and recording a few demos and playing live shows around the midwest before calling it a day in late 2003. In 2010, downthesun got back together to record new music.〔"(Downthesun is back )", Blabbermouth.net, May 23, 2010, retrieved 2011-12-10〕 However, a post by bassist Lance "Kuk" Collier revealed that due to his rehab and lack of interest from the other members, the reunion was off. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Downthesun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
