User:CjsRoxMySox/The Show

"The Show" is an American rock band formed in 2007 by guitarist/vocalist Johnny St Lethal and guitarist/vocalist Brandon Mitchell. Lethal was driving to his hometown of Pittsburgh from Los Angeles, and he picked up Mitchell, who was hitchiking from Albuquerque. After many lineup changes came members Josh Kranitz (drums) and Kris Corona (bass). The band's debut album, Here's to Your Jigsaw, was released in October 2009. They are currently on their follow-up album.

Formation (2005-2007)
After a trip to Los Angeles, Lethal was driving back to Pittsburgh. Passing Albuquerque, he picked up hitchhiker Brandon Mitchell. Both musicians, the two talked about their ambitions and goals as musicians. They quickly became good friends, and both stayed in Pittsburgh. Two years after this, they decided to form a band, although they had previously rejected the idea. Soon, bassist Jeff Bets and Josh Kranitz became members. The band had five months of solid rehearsals, then, after a sold-out show at The Rex Theatre in Pittsburgh's South Side, they briefly toured.

Here's To Your Jigsaw (2008-2009)
The Show, wanting to be sure to record before their original chemistry was lost, went from a repertoire of more than 100 songs to a solid twenty, and recorded most of these for their album, at Treelady Studios in July 2008. The process itself took a full year, ending in July of the next year. The album, featuring a mix of songs penned by Lethal and Mitchell, was released and distributed internationally on October 13, 2009.

Present (2010-Today)
The band then toured the UK, stopping at such locations as the o2 Arena in Glasgow, in the spring of 2010. They then played a homecoming show at The Rex Theatre, and will headline Rock United 8 in August.
