The band Jence was originally titled Time. It was founded in the summer of 2005 by Daniel Habib, Jon Riley, and Justin Swaim. It started as a trio of banjo, bass guitar, and drums; until Justin learned how to play guitar. After a while Matt Habib, Daniel's older brother, was added to the group as the second drummer. The first recording was in 2006, by Mitch Hensdale, at New Horizon Recording Studio in Kernersville, NC; a demo of three covers and three originals. Only one show was played with both drummers before Matt moved to Florida for school. The band, back to being a trio, later recorded their first all original album titled "Time Machine", which was recorded by their high school band conductor Jonathan Miller. After this release they began to perform at local music clubs in Greensboro, NC. After a year Jon left the band and Matt came back to be the drummer. By this time the band had already changed their name to Jence. After two years Jence added a second guitarist, Luc Gravely. Gravely was a friend that Daniel met through a mutual musician friend. Now that there were four members in the band they went straight into the studio to record their second all original album titled "A Deep Blue Dream". Some of the tracks from the first album were re-done. Shortly after the recording process was finished Justin left the band to concentrate more on school. There were a few shows were both Justin and Luc performed. Jence continued to perform, reaching out more towards the Raleigh area, and in between. Jence has performed at venues such as The Clubhouse (Greensboro, NC), Somewhere Else Tavern (Greensboro, NC), Greene St. (Greensboro, NC), The Pour House Sports Bar & Pub (Greensboro, NC), The Soundvent (Thomasville, NC), Clay St. Tavern (Mebane, NC), Katmandu (Raleigh, NC), The Brewery (Raleigh, NC), The Pour House Music Hall (Raleigh, NC), The Berkeley Cafe (Raleigh, NC), Deep South-The Bar (Raleigh, NC), The Alzheimer's Charity Event 2006 and 2007 (Sanford, NC), Bicentennial Park Cancer Charity Event (Asheboro, NC), Moxies Bar (Mocksville,NC), and JP Looney's (Oak Ridge, NC). Jence has opened for bands such as Tommy Tutone, Automatic Loveletter, and Bad Boy Troy. Jence is currently working on new music for their second, technically third, album. Recording is said to take place during the spring of 2009. You can visit the band website at http://www.myspce.com/jencerock.
