7th Order is an American Rock & Roll band whose debut extended play CD release, 'The Lake of Memory',〔(7th Order "The Lake of Memory" EP on Allmusic.com )〕 was issued on the Big Island Sounds label in 2007 (although 7th Order had been in existence for several years by that time).〔(MTV - 7th Order biography )〕 The band is led by vocalist and songwriter Daniel Jones〔(7th Order on World Public Library (Project Gutenberg) )〕 and is notable for having been assisted by veteran British guitarist Martin Pugh〔(7th Order (Martin Pugh) on World Heritage Encyclopedia )〕〔(Martin Pugh on Discogs )〕 (of Steamhammer, Armageddon and ("The Rod Stewart Album" )), drummer Tim Kelliher,〔(Randy Hansen's Machine Gun Bio (w/ Tim Kelliher) )〕〔(Randy Hansen's Machine Gun (w/ Tim Kelliher) on World eBook Fair )〕〔(Randy Hansen (Tim Kelliher) on Discogs )〕 (of Randy Hansen's Machine Gun), and guitarist Geoff Thorpe〔("Metal: The Definitive Guide" - VR's Geoff Thorpe sits in with 7th Order )〕〔(Geoff Thorpe on Discogs )〕〔(VR's Geoff Thorpe sits in with 7th Order )〕 (of Vicious Rumors). Reviewers have recognized their particular sound as reminiscent of blues-rock bands like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds, with progressive undertones ala Led Zeppelin〔(7th Order reviews )〕 As of October 16, 2015 - 7th Order was the number one artist for the State of Hawaii on the Reverb Nation web site. ==History== 7th Order's pre-history began in Honolulu, Hawaii, where Jones and Thorpe went to school together the 1960's - both shared an interest in the rock and roll music of the era.〔(7th Order – Band History )〕 They undertook music careers that eventually took them to various parts of North America (and in Thorpe's case, resulted in significant worldwide success with his band, Vicious Rumors) - 〔(7th Order on the InfoRapid Knowledge Portal )〕 and 7th Order itself evolved from studio sessions they organized in California/Washington beginning in the 1990's.〔(7th Order – Radio Interviews and Broadcasts )〕 In subsequent radio interviews, Jones has identified the band's influences to be the blues/rock and roll innovators of the 1950s and 1960s〔(Google - About 7th Order )〕 - in one such radio interview on Radio Heemskerk, Netherlands in August 2003, Jones discussed spending several years playing in various bands around the US, crossing paths with established members of the rock and roll scene like Jesse Ed Davis, Mick Taylor, B.B. King, Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roger McGuinn, Eric Clapton and others.〔 With Jones acting as band leader, songwriter, and producer - Thorpe and Pugh flew in from California to help out with the very first 7th Order demo recording sessions in Seattle, WA. in December 2001. While 7th Order had received worldwide recognition via radio and TV〔( 7th Order live on Seattle TV )〕 exposure since their 2003 radio debut,〔(7th Order – "The Lake of Memory" Radio Debut, WNTI 08/03 )〕 their progress may have been impacted by several non-band related matters. Band leader Jones once commented in a radio interview: "My 23 year old son passed away in November of 2004... that is not something you just bounce back from in a few weeks... I then returned to Hawaii, so the band was just going to have to wait until I could deal with a few things".〔 Consequently, 7th Order then opted to hold back their debut release, 'The Lake of Memory' (the title song reportedly having been inspired by the writings of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner),〔〔(R. Steiner, "Staying Connected" )〕 but they also had to withstand yet another tragic setback: their management consultant and longtime friend, Steven B. Williams, was murdered off Santa Catalina Island, California in May 2006〔('Harvey Morrow convicted of murdering legendary Denver DJ Steven B. Williams" )〕 (Williams had previously been a successful rock radio DJ on stations such as Denver's KBPI and Honolulu's KIKI (AM)) - thereby delaying the CD release until October 2007.〔(7th Order's "The Lake of Memory" Release Date: 2007 )〕 The personnel involved at this point included Jones (who wrote and sang all of the band's material) with guests Pugh and Thorpe on guitars, alongside Benjamin Hadley on bass and both Tim Kelliher and Adam Gross played drums.〔(7th Order band members (on Discogs) )〕 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「7th Order」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
