The project began in late 1999, when Ross began writing the occasional song that didn't fit the atmosphere of either Sunless or Per Somnia. He decided to create a third musical project for the output of this EBM/sythpop styled material. As the project continued, the overall style and sound became more cohesive. The influence of of such popular bands as VNV Nation, Curve, Delerium, and De/Vision can be heard in the music. The debut 7 song CD, dead code, was completed in January 2001. It contained a cover of U2's "New Year's Day", which receives nationwide club play to this day. The follow-up limited edition EP constant change was then released. Both EPs are now out of print. The Endparty's first full length album beauty always leaves was completed in 2002. It is comprised of the best songs from the first two EPs, plus new tracks. In summer 2002, The Endparty began playing live shows. A number of talented keyboardists have joined Ross on stage over the years. After a fairly long hiatus from songwriting, Ross is now busy collecting and polishing the newer songs sporadically written after the release of Beauty Always Leaves and forming them, along with brand new 2007 material, into a second Endparty album. This new album features a definite change in feel from Beauty Always Leaves, featuring more mellow synthpop and guitar-based songs as well as some dancefloor material. The album is as-yet untitled but the track listing is set, and it should be released in mid to late 2007. |
