Wrong Side of Dawn

About Wrong Side of Dawn

Wrong Side of Dawn plays genre-spanning guitar rock featuring rich acoustic guitar and raucous old-school electric ax-work, for a sound which combines the accessibility of alternative pop with the adventurousness of ’60s and ’70s classic rock. Wrong Side of Dawn is Brian Rose and Nelson Pavlosky. It couldn’t happen with the talent and support of many other musicians and friends, but as of now there are no other permanent members of the band. Nelson Pavlosky – rhythm guitar: Nelson can often be found strumming on his green Takamine acoustic-electric named Kermit. Musical influences include various punk/ska/emo bands, 90’s alternative rock, and people who play acoustic guitars with weird tunings and open strings, such as the Goo Goo Dolls and Joni Mitchell. His favorite band is Queen, even though his songwriting doesn’t lean in that direction. He was active in jazz choir and musical theater throughout high school, and still sings loudly in the shower to this very day. Nelson can also play the piano, ukelele, and oboe, in decreasing order of competency. In his spare time, he enjoys pyrotechnics, eating fruit, and fighting the Man. Brian Rose – lead guitar: Brian played violin in a school orchestra for 10 years, but because he never practiced or took private lessons, he sucks. He listened mainly to the Goo Goo Dolls until the summer of 2000, when he took a few guitar lessons and began listening pretty much exclusively to The Who and any song on this list*. Favorite artists and influences include The Who, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, U2, Billy Joel, Ben Folds, Dave Matthews, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and all classic rock. Brian likes to seem diverse by pretending that he also likes classical, blues, jazz, and hip hop, but that’s a lie. He really only likes blues. Being a music minor, though, he does understand theory, bitch. He enjoys watching poker, baseball, and badly-made flash videos. *They change this list every year. The older — and much more correct — list that I was raised on is no longer available.
