Celeste!
Well, if you believe the first words on this band’s www.myspace.com Web site, Celeste! is no more. No more? One indication that these boys are no longer plying their musical trade – www.celeste.net is available. In the manner of most electronic-age junkies, we tried to find out more about them on the Web and came back rather disappointed.
All kidding aside, now. Of course, the group’s October 2007 blog states that the boys played their last show as Celeste! some time ago. Two members started looking for other band members immediately, for a project called The Youth. Other members are also working on separate musical projects.
As with many young fellows, these guys started a band after high graduation (2004). The tunes they put together, such as “The Suicide Song” were fairly good rock/pop compositions, though it would be hard to find something to truly separate them from other “guy” bands of the past five or six years. Oh, the influences are strong enough. This group lists The Used, Fall Out Boy, Copeland and Acceptance as part of the structure that holds them up. “Breakups and Breakdowns” is an OK rock song/ballad. For some reason, the vocals stand out with Celeste! But there will be some disappointed Atlanta-area fans. For the most part Celeste! could be one of those groups appreciated long after they made their ill-fated start. We shall see.

Whew. interesting. It seems that the current thread with this genre is continuing to grow a lot contrasting to what many music experts have predicted. I think they have performed a long long time ago and I’m not sure if they can still get the press results that they are wanting. Good luck to Celeste
I feel like every guy band strives to sound like Fall Out Boy, which is a big disappointment for me. It never fails to amaze how close they can get to sounding exactly alike though. Minor-rant done, these guys do sound professional in their songs. Some indie bands are not capable of having that ‘professional’ sound that makes them work out, so I’ll give these guys kudos for that. Also, I do like the name of the band
Nifty and mystical!
After reading the last comment I almost didn’t even want to go hear this band as I have had just about enough of bands that can only differentiate themselves by their name. However, while they do have that “same sound”, they also sound like they have great chemistry together and have probably been around the block musically awhile. Not enough to have me become a fan, but I am sure quite a few would appreciate them.
The name of the band is great. The sound I think leaves something to be desired. I just didn’t hear anything that would make me jump up and down about. Or, anything that sets them apart from the other cookie-cutter boy bands out there.
I watched these guys perform at my college about a year back or so. They were a pretty good band. I’m not generally into the genre of music they played, but I liked them pretty well. I think “The Suicide Song” is my favorite from them.
