The Peak Show
(1999 – 2005)

…was my first major musical project.  We were signed to Atlantic Records.  We had numerous licenses to TV & Film, and we still occasionally land those placements to this day.

We made a f-ing great album that was never wholly released.  It was written by The Peak Show, produced by Gabriel “Front Row” Rowland & Mario Caldato, Jr. (yup, *that* Mario C. of Beastie Boys production fame), and mixed in Virginia Beach by Grammy winning mixer, Serban Ghenea.

We were a rowdy bunch. We were known for our wild house parties, balls-to-the-walls shows, totally modern dance / rock music, and guerilla promotional antics – like performing at Coachella 2 years in a row (4 shows total) completely uninvited. Here’s a video of that…

The Peak Show was:

Gabriel “Front Row” Rowland – catalyst / drums / programming / wildstyle
Derock Goodwin – guitars / guns / driving
Holland Greco – vocals / lyrics / xfactor
Alex Painter – bass / samples / fortitude

other members:
Megan Jacobs – keys, backup vocals, & angelic presence 2003 – 2005
Chris Gongora – original bass player 1999 -2000
Ceci Bastida – keys & background vocals 2002 & maybe some of 2003

FILM & TV / TOURING GOODNESS
We had a sweet little run of licenses to TV + Film + Soundtracks.

This is due not only to the caliber of our music, but also to people who cared for it and championed it. Y’all know who you are and we thank you!
