Amherst
Aisle is a piano rock band that met and formed in Irvine in 2009. The
four members were friends long before bandmates and lived under the same
roof before becoming Amherst Aisle. Derrick & Kevin were both born
and raised in Cupertino, a small town in Northern California and grew
up together playing various sports and “jamming” in Derrick’s garage.
Both of them graduated high school and attended UC Irvine to pursue
their higher education. Ben & Michael were both born and raised in
Villa Park, a city in Orange County about 20 miles east of UC Irvine.
The two of them are lifelong friends first meeting in first grade and
also pursued musical interests and collaborations similar to that of
their Norcal counterparts.
The two pairings of friends were brought together at the end of 2006
when Kevin & Ben dormed together for their first year of college.
The two of them found similar interests in music and shared their
friendship with Michael and Derrick. In August of 2008, Ben, Kevin
& Derrick all moved into an apartment complex across the street from
UCI called Ambrose which resides on the street Amherst Aisle. It
wasn’t until March of 2009 that Ben, Derrick and Michael began playing
together and got Kevin on board shortly thereafter.
They are a young but talented and determined group of friends that share
a common dream to share their music with those big and small and more
importantly, have fun.
-Our biggest upcoming show is going to be on March 3rd at the Whisky. We go on at 8:15pm.
-Our dream is to make it big together. We love
making music and would not want to be doing it with anyone else. We are
friends before band mates and want to keep it that way.
-We hope to continue releasing albums and performing shows and bigger
and better venues. We won't be able to do this without our fans. It
would not be nearly as fun without them.
