The band that is currently known as Miss Demeanor was formed in the summer of 2010 by Nick Cameron and Luke Clohisy. The two met at the beginning of high school and, after a few conversations, discovered that they both had similar tastes in music and eventually decided to start jamming. The two started off as a garage punk duo, constantly making noise in Nick’s basement.

However, though the two had lots of fun playing together, they felt something was missing. They needed a bassist. Conveniently enough, Luke ran into this kid who he described as “literally just a cool looking guy” at lunch. His name was Gabe Gonzalez and he liked punk rock. The two started eating lunch together, discussing music from the 90s every chance they had. Soon enough, after he met Nick, Gabe was in the band.

The power-trio remained a three piece set for quite a while, but still felt as though something was missing. One day, after Gabe and Luke finished taking a winter final for school, the two were walking around campus when they ran into a kid playing an old Avenged Sevenfold song on guitar. The three began talking, but unfortunately, the mysterious guitarist left before either of the two could catch his name.

The band played their first show as a power-trio under the name “The Singularities”. However, about two days before this show, the band again ran into this mysterious guitar player and found his name to be Andrew Holowka. After an impromptu audition in the lunchroom of their school, he was in. Though since he did not have enough time to practice with the band before that show, they played it without him.

After going through several name changes, the band decided on the name “The Machines”. They continued to play together for nearly a year, playing shows with underground hardcore punk bands Crude Humor, Shoebomb, When Flying Feels Like Falling, and Foreign Policy.

Sadly, after about a year of being a complete band, Nick Cameron left the band due to differences with the other band members. The band officially changed their name to “Miss Demeanor” soon after. Since his departure, the rest of the members have been searching for drummers tirelessly.

Recently, the band’s great personal friend and manager Luis Dubon came into contact with the band Haki. Their drummer, Ruby Dunphy, said that she was interested in the position and would love to be a part of the group. Once the band saw her style was exactly what they were looking for, she was in the band in a heartbeat.

Since the new lineup has now solidified, Miss Demeanor is eager to gig as much as possible. Anywhere. Anytime. All the time.
