Lead singer and guitarist Dave DeVoe wasted no time choosing music as his passion by the age of five. Joining right in with his family of musicians, he has studied piano, guitar, and voice giving him the vehicle to portray the music in his head by the age of thirteen. It was then that he began his first band Mirth, which had great high school success, but aided in opening the door for Dave's college project Beyond Mirth. Not yet the foursome we know today, Beyond Mirth initially played over 100 shows in two and a-half years at well known venues such as CBGB's, Arlene's Grocery, and The Stone Pony. The title track from their EP had even landed itself in heavy radio rotation in Michigan, Chicago, and Phoenix. In 2000, Beyond Mirth had run its course, and Dave took some time off for various side projects. Approximately one year later, the death of a close friend sparked divine inspiration in Mr. DeVoe and auditions for the next Beyond Mirth began. After a tireless search, their! immediate chemistry assured Dave that he had chosen the best musicians to bring his new sound to enthusiastic audiences, which meet them at every show. Guitarist Ed Aular hails from Venezuela where he heightened his musical chops at the Echeveria Lozano Music Conservatory. Making his move to New York City in 1994, Ed honed his style playing everything from R&B to rock. He feels that the streets of New York were his best classrooms. Drummer Mike Higgins is currently studying music at N.Y.U. after being a successful percussionist for over 10 years. He has done everything from touring Europe with a symphony to playing in a rock bands. Mike's eclectic mixture of influences gives Beyond Mirth the solidity that many bands lack. Bassist Gerard Toriello began his career in the biz as a guitarist, buzzing from band to band until he made the instrumental transition at a lightening speed. Although he now lays down some of the most solid bass lines around, Gerard did worship guitar gods in his younger days. Citing legends Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton as his influences, its no wonder this student of the stars is such a success once again proving that all these characters coming together as one give Beyond Mirth its unique distinction. Live performances when they can hash out their latest tunes are where this band earns most of their fans. Songs such as, "Open Up," and "In My Head," are the high powered anthems that win over crowds. Beyond Mirth has even been known to take a memorable cover like "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears in their dark rock fashion and bring it completely out of its element. This band's tight knit deliveries prove that Beyond Mirth is no fluff act who's undying dedication to spreading their sound will surely do just that. |
