Coalesce
In 2005 original members of Coalese (Jes, Nathan, and Sean) put aside all of their differences and met on common ground (Nate's birthday party for his daughter). They decided to once again take a stab at Coalesce as a creative outlet, instead of a career ambition. Coalesce was slated to play in Hellfest in 2005, but a legal maelstrom against the festival’s organizers prevented the festival from taking place. Since they had already made the travel arrangements, Coalesce booked and played 2 shows at small venues instead. One was in Philadelphia at the Unitarian Church and the other in the Wilkes-Barre area in an abandoned Nail Salon.
The band played what they perceived to be, and advertised as their ‘final show’ in Lawrence, Kansas in September of 2005. During the Philadelphia and Lawrence reunion shows lead singer Sean Ingram announced that the band was going to begin writing new music but under a new moniker. However the new moniker idea was quickly abandoned, and it was official that Coalesce was writing again as a cohesive unit in the winter of 2006. A self financed and released 7" to be released late in 2007 was the product of those meetings.
ll members of Coalesce have children. 9 children between the 4 members to be exact. The amount of time that is available for the band to tour and write is limited, but instead of trying to neatly package up Coalesce in a neat tidy description as "done and over with", the band has decided to leave it open ended. The songs, the lyrics, the ideas, do not leave the band members, and the pressure to not be able to express them, has proved to be greater than the pressure to do full us and european tours.
Coalesce stands is as it has always been, unreliable, unpredictable, and quite simple unstopable in their creativity and and drive to push the envelope when time allows them to.
The good news is that you get to see them in Sheffield. Bow at the altar of your kings.
