Neglected Sheep

Inspired by music from the hardcore circuit to pop rock, Neglected Sheep started out as a shoestring operation in 1994, including bassist Mike Scarlata and drummer John Ehlers. The boys moved on to attend Wingate College in Wingate, North Carolina where they met up with guitarist John Vargosko. Things moved along quite steadily, then Scarlata
introduced the band to guitarist Robby Long. After several bookings, the band was officially named and a search for a front man had begun. They continued booking and performing instrumental shows, and then a few months later Kevin Harrison, longtime friend of both Ehlers and Scarlata, was asked to join the band.

Instant chemistry and energy was the best way to describe the band in its infancy. Writing quickly and almost effortlessly at times, the band began
booking numerous shows in and around Charlotte, NC. After several gigs, they developed enough local fan support to begin work on their first demo tape. Released in January 1995, Newfoundland, a four song EP, sold out its initial release and a second round almost immediately. In January 1996, thanks to Jamie Hoover at Washateria Studios in South Carolina, the band released their debut full-length CD, Geno Died.

Barely four months after the release of their debut CD, the Sheep and guitarist Robby Long parted ways. As a four piece, the band kept on working hard, especially in the areas of music and promotion. Before they knew it, Neglected Sheep had reviews from everywhere, and radio play in places they'd only joked about. Unfortunately in mid-June, Kevin Harrison had different plans. Following a sold out farewell show at the Milestone in Charlotte that same month, he left the band to pursue other plans.

After four years of great publicity, a huge fan base, more shows than the band can play, and two successful selling releases, it was time for the Sheep to start over. Replacing Kevin Harrison is singer, Matt Funderburk. The band has packaged up the new CD, Ghostman On Third, and began shipping it. This album received more critical acclaim than anything the Sheep put out previously. The band began seeing rave reviews, airplay increases, and huge amounts of press begin flowing in from the Internet as well.

Inspired by all the fruity goodness, a campaign of guerilla marketing began. The Sheep now enjoy a huge web-presence, regular online sales, a new fold of online fans, and as before, increased popularity based soley on the merits of the music.

Once again, Neglected Sheep has to endure a lineup change, and would like to welcome the latest member, Nick Resh. Nick hales from the Detroit area and comes from a widely influenced background. Now, the next leg of the journey begins.

Neglected Sheep is currently writing, rehearsing, and preparing for the next album and tour. Keep an eye out on the East Coast and the Midwest for NS.
