East Hundred (band)
Introduction '''East Hundred''' is a female-fronted indie rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
History East Hundred was formed in 2004 as a recording project with brothers Brooke and Will Blair and Brooke's then-girlfriend Beril Guceri. They released their first self-titled EP in late spring of 2005.Soon after, they invited bassist Dave Sunderland and keyboardist Susan Gager to join the live act. The trio continued to write and record and in February 2007 they released ''Copper Street Performer'' produced by John McEntire. In April 2008, the now five-piece began recording what would become their first full-length album ''Passenger'' with Brian McTear of Miner Street Studios. During this time the band experienced inner turmoil as Blair and Guceri ended their relationship. This in turn fueled a surge of material and ''Passenger'' was completed and self-released in January 2009.The group continued to tour and write throughout 2010 and recorded a five-song EP in early 2011 at The Studio in Philadelphia, PA. ''The Spells'' EP was released in June 2011.In a post on the band's homepage  entitled 'Spring 2012', East Hundred posted: 'With heavy hearts, we'd like to invite you to East Hundred's final farewell show to help us show appreciation for everyone who has supported us and guided us through this musical venture which we've mutually decided is now ending.' There was no specific reason why the band was ending its musical career, only that the farewell show would be at Johnny Brenda's (http://www.johnnybrendas.com/event/113485/) on May 6.
