Limbeck was an alternative country band, with pop-punk roots, hailing from Orange County, California. ==Background== Originating in Laguna Niguel, California,〔Wilson, MacKenzie. "(Limbeck: Biography )", Allmusic. Retrieved May 29, 2011.〕 Limbeck featured Robb MacLean on lead vocals and guitar, Patrick Carrie guitar and backing vocals, Justin Entsminger on bass, and Jon Phillip, who replaced Matthew Stephens on drums in 2005.〔Iwasaki, Scott (February 10, 2006). "(Limbeck showing off drummer )", ''Deseret News''. Retrieved May 29, 2011.〕 The band's name comes from the (misspelled) name of a character on the television show ''Charles in Charge'', Buddy Lembeck.〔Haddon, Cole (March 30, 2006). "(What the Heck's a Limbeck? There are many theories but only one truth: good music )", ''New Times Broward-Palm Beach''. Retrieved May 29, 2011.〕 The group claimed to be influenced by Fleetwood Mac, Wilco, The Beach Boys, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Beck, ELO, Big Star, Queen, The Replacements, The Beatles, Old 97's and The Flying Burrito Brothers. While classified as indie rock due to their relatively small niche in Southern California, the band's musical style has also been described as alternative country music. Their style has been likened to that of Old 97's, Ryan Adams, and Teenage Fanclub.〔Prevatt, Mike (May 13, 2004). "(Limbeck: Point, click, rock: Limbeck connects through its photo-inspired music )", ''Las Vegas Mercury''. Retrieved May 29, 2011.〕 Their original sound was very power pop and emo inspired, as heard in their early releases, including ''This Chapter Is Called Titles''. Slowly, the band became more and more alt. country influenced and changed their sound almost entirely with their release of ''Hi, Everything's Great''. By the end of their time as a band, Limbeck had all but abandoned their early songs, rarely playing this material live, if ever. The band titled the 2005 album ''Let Me Come Home'' in part as a reaction to critics frequently saying that the previous album, ''Hi, Everything's Great'', was a "road-trip album".〔Iwasaki, Scott (August 5, 2005). ("Limbeck having fun with tour: Album's title, 'Let Me Come Home,' aimed at critics of last CD" ). ''Deseret News''. Retrieved May 29, 2011.〕 The band has discussed the influence of their lengthy tours upon their music. Limbeck has toured the US several times, including as opening act for The All-American Rejects in 2003.〔Bronson, Kevin (June 19, 2003). ("Buzz bands: Limbeck's tuneful travelogue" ). ''Los Angeles Times'', p. E13.〕 Geography plays a role in the band's recordings: several songs name interstate highways known to Orange County and San Diego County residents, such as I-8, CA-22, and I-15. In 2000, the band was featured in an iMac commercial.〔("Show Announcements: Junior Brown, Limbeck, David Banner, Davey Jones, The Verve Pipe" ). ''Phoenix New Times'' blog.〕 The commercial featured the iMac video editing software in which the band created a music video under the name ''Garage Monkeys.'' As of December 2010, Limbeck has unofficially disbanded according to a string of comments posted on their Twitter page. Each of the members has since moved on to other projects: Carrie & MacLean are still in Southern California, where they've started a new group called The Young Dudes; Entsminger is playing bass for Source Victoria in Phoenix, Arizona; and Jon Phillip has relocated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he's started a record label called Goodland Records. As of 2011 Jon Phillip is the new drummer of the Milwaukee band Trapper Schoepp and The Shades. In December 2012, Limbeck reunited for the "Holidaze with Limbeck" tour. The tour included three shows in California and a show in Phoenix, Arizona. Reubens Accomplice and Trapper Schoepp and The Shades opened the shows. No further shows have been announced. 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「Limbeck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
