The Few

The Few., alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri, comprised of singer, and founder Dom Goszewski, bassist and co-founder Tory Oberreither, drummer/vocalist Roger Thomas, and guitarists Dan Bell & Mike Miller. This band highlights their style of alternative rock over the background of “cookie-cutter” alt-rock bands. They combine the artistic storytelling of metaphorical lyrics with powerful performances that create an instantly recognizable definition. 'Be your true self until your last day and never become something you're not just because it’s easy. You shouldn’t be afraid to be who you are.’

Just since 2013 The Few have toured through more than 25 states tirelessly spreading their message, music and story. What this band creates is raw, unadulterated, and unapologetic. That attitude and passion has driven them down a path to a humble realization, they are undoubtedly here to stay.

Shaky beginnings befell the group in its infancy, Dom and Tory started playing music together back in 2006, they wrote songs and played a couple shows but nothing ever really stuck. After some internal falling out the band eventually dispersed fizzling out before it could even begin. Four months later after doing some hard and lonely thinking a call was made. "Okay man, lets do this, now or never". Feeling the energy within them they agreed and began work that week. The band grew and the lineup seemed to be solidified but, after a slow uphill battle for 2 years it became apparent that the lineup was not cohesive enough for their mission or message. With a tour approaching Dom and Tory made the decision to part ways with the other half of the band to find a more genuine representation of what "The Few" meant; people that could define this bands meaning. Two weeks before the first tour began they found drummer Roger through a mutual friend and instantly connected. The guys picked up speed and their spark grew brighter as they had gained a drummer and regained their rhythm. They could feel this was more though, it was a feeling of true permanence. Potential.

Two tours followed and with the loss of a guitarist and close friend a decision was made. No longer could they continue idly performing local shows and wasting time. The clock was ticking and they felt the pressure multiply with each passing second. Guitarist Dan Bell joined the band at a pinnacle moment in August of 2014. Within only a month he had mastered the songs and taken their live performance to a new level. It was with the addition of Dan that the band embarked on a career changing journey to Minneapolis Minnesota to record their debut album "Sleep Tight, When You Wake Up We'll Be Gone". For 14 days the band lived, slept, ate, and worked around the clock for 16+ hours a day forging a record that had been dying to burst forth for nearly 3 years. In those 14 days a unity was created that not only permanently solidified their debut album, but also joined their minds toward one goal.

Filling the second guitar spot and preserving The Few's signature harmonic sound was Mike Miller; someone who they met years earlier in the scene. After years in separate projects the stars did align to allow for this unification. Now it's like Mike has been a part of this since its conception. His addition freed singer Dom of his weight of both playing and singing live which escalated their performances to new heights. And making them, as one concert reviewer says "rise above the rest."
The band members have said it themselves, "we've come too far now... nothing and nobody can stop us." It is pretty apparent from their mission and attitudes to say that The Few is here to stay, and their message will be received. That message being this, "This has been our escape from all the trash life has thrown our way. We got through it because of this band. We are only here because of each other. And that's what sets us apart, community. It's the understanding, , & the music, that make us The Few, And that's the way we plan to keep it"

Live you feel like part of the performance. But if you listen closely into the music, you can hear and feel the emotion. It's something you must experience first hand to fully understand. It's one of a kind, it's an underground counterculture preparing to burst forth. That's what makes it real. We see the beauty in the dark, and that shines brighter than the sun. This is "The Few".
