🎸🥁DANCE ALL-NIGHT TO “FMERA BAND” @HUMPHREY’S. $15.00 Cover CHRG

**Join us for a fun-filled night of dancing at Humphrey’s Backstage Live.** **ABOUT “FMERA BAND”** **Somewhere between an electronically charged atomic particle and an algebraic function lay the band FMera (ef-em-er-uh). FMera extrapolates its post-Shoegazeresque era influences from bands such as Ride, the Cure, Interpol, the Smiths and New Order and masterfully weaves them into a mechanically timed and melodically spaced equation of undulating sounds. Heavy layers of rhythm guitar laced and chimed with notes ring high above the vocals, subdued in tone but not in volume. [This introductory paragraph was written by Mike Stauffer in 2005].** **FMera was formed in 2005 by Mike Stauffer, Paul Welch, Dustin Frelich and Eugene Iglesias. Lamentably, we have to add to this writing that Mike Stauffer passed away on February 27, 2022 due to a heart attack upon returning home from a jog/run. Mike was crucial in developing our sound and direction and talent base but apart from that he was far more than a band mate, he was a true brother to us through the years. Not only was he special to us, he was a loving family man and an unparalleled role model and father for his precious young daughters. He was loved by so many and missed by so many. We are heartbroken.** **Currently as it stands, FMera is fronted by Paul Welch, who had the humbling opportunity of playing keyboards on a regular basis with the legendary two-tone band, The English Beat.
