Wrong Side of Dawn is an eclectic band with headquarters near Philadelphia, PA and New Brunswick, NJ, soon to be rocking a venue near you! We all sing and write songs, and we all have a habit of staying up way past our bedtimes doing so.

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... his favorite band is Queen, even though his songwriting doesn't lean in that direction. 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.

Karen Rustad - keyboards: Karen has rocked out on piano since she was eight and has sang for even longer. A Minnesota native, she enjoys snowy weather, public radio, and wandering through Uptown. Musical influences include Radiohead, Semisonic, David Lanz, the Black Keys, and Eve 6.
