HEY EVI!: The Downtown Ficiton

Maybe it's too late to know The Downtown Fiction in 2010, but I think there's no word "late" to know everything that you should to know. Actually, when first time I watched their official video (I Just Wanna Run) on youtube, I have no special feeling for this band or their song. They like another indie band with cute vocalist Cameron Leahy, cool bassist David Pavluk, and another cool and cute guy Eric Jones on drum. After I heard their full EP "Best I Never Heard" I started to realize that "ooooh this band is different, I'm falling in love with them. Their songs like soundtrack in my life (lebay)", since that I searching anything about them, their songs, their biography, their photos (of course), etc. And this is a little biography about this band from wikipedia

Music career

Early Years

Lead singer and guitar player Cameron Leahy met drummer Eric Jones in high school, where they became friends. They had a mutual interest in music, and formed The Downtown Fiction in the summer of 2008. They began to post demos on the band's MySpace page, where their fan base initialized. Needing a bassist, Cameron and Eric added David Pavluk to the band, who also is responsible for background vocals. "The Downtown Fiction" is inspired by the film Pulp Fiction, a favorite film of Cameron and Eric.
