S.O.L. try hand in DBP

By Kris Neises | Monday, July 14, 2008, 09:02 PM

Positivity drives the Sidney/Piqua based jam-rock band named S.O.L. or Signs of Life.

“We are constantly evolving as a band, but the outlook has always been positive,” said Shawn Spivey (guitar/voice). “We try to always keep our energy and lyrics positive.”

The other driving force behind the band is diversity. The 2-year-old 6-piece band combines a list of music styles throughout their set of original songs.

“Our Style is a mix of rock, funk, reggae, blues, hip-hop and occasional jazz overtones,” said Spivey. “We focus on diversity because it keeps things interesting and allows us to improve and enjoy the vibe.”

The band will perform in round one of the Dayton Band Playoffs this Wednesday, July 16th at Canal Street Tavern. Also playing are rockers Savant and A Familiar Encounter.

“We are participating in the Dayton Band Playoffs because we hope to open doors for our band. Whether this opportunity presents exposure, recognition, respect or simply new fans and friends, we will take it,” Spivey explained.

Round two of the Dayton Band Playoffs at Canal Street Tavern begins July 30th. The top 24 overall vote getters from round one will move on.
