Voyager One (band)

Voyager One (band)

Voyager One is a band from Seattle, Washington formed in 1999. Allmusic.com has compared the bands style to the shoegazing music played by Ride, Swervedriver and Catherine Wheel.

Band history

The band was formed in late 1998 by guitarist Jeramy Koepping and Peter Marchese on guitar and vocals. They recruited bassist Dayna Loeffler and a series of drummers before John Hollis (1) joined the band. The band recorded a demo record "Zeroes and Ones, Parts One and Two" in 1999, which received airplay on Seattle independent radio station KCMU (now KEXP) leading to the band being signed to Loveless Records.

Their debut record "From the New Nation of Long Shadows" was released in 2000. "Monster Zero" followed in 2002 on Loveless Records, then followed by "Dissolver" on Tokyoidaho Records in 2005, and then most recently "Afterhours in the Afterlife" on Loveless Records in 2008. Several EPs have also been released as well as appearing on various compilations.

Voyager One live shows typically include visual effects from several 16mm film projectors operated by Projectorhead. The projectors show spliced-together clips of salvaged short films on the wall behind the band. Projectorhead collects the source material for and assembles the films. Two video recordings of Projectorhead's work have been released on DVD, "Shadows and Daydreams" and "Magic Time Bomb".

Voyager One has toured the U.S. west coast several times and toured the southeast states with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club on their "Howl" tour in 2006. The band has also made several trips to festivals such as CMJ in New York City and SXSW in Austin.
