The Double Negatives

After the end of our last project in 2013 Mikey DiBernardo (drums), Dimitri Almeyda (bass), and Rob Connolly (vocals, guitar) were on a search for a new sound. After expanding our musical influences and the addition of our lead guitarist, Brandon Campana, we found we didn't want to pin ourselves down to one genre or style but instead to see where our musical abilities and tastes would take us. Around Christmas of 2013 The Double Negatives were formed, before long we had a full album's worth of songs and were booking shows in the spring of 2014, than in April of 2014 tragedy struck us. Our good friend and drummer, Mikey, passed from a rare disorder called HLH. We questioned if we should continue music or just move on. It didn't take long to realize that we must continue with music; not just for us, but for the memory of our brother and bandmate. So over the next year as we went different ways, some to college, some to travel, we came back in the spring of 2015 with a newly restored desire to create and reach people with our music. Over the summer we started preparing music; some older songs, some new. We continued to create but were still stuck without a new drummer. Jump to late December of 2015 where we have two new additions - one, our long time friend and photographer, Dan O'Hara came and started helping not only with our photos and videos but also started on rhythm guitar and keys and two, we found our drummer in our new friend Kevin McDaniel. Suddenly our project came to light as a five piece. On January 1st 2016 the Double Negatives new lineup was born, not a week later we had already played shows and recorded a demo. Now in August 2016 we have played everywhere from Connecticut to Cape May and New York to Asbury as well as recorded a new EP, filmed a music video and gained a loyal fanbase. The new EP came to light with the help and hard work of our friend and mentor Michael Engesser of Rock Solid Productions who we plan to work with again on our follow up endeavors. Be on the look out for a new EP in the Winter of 2016-2017 as well as small tours up and down the east coast this year. Psychedelic Pop/Rock band from the Jersey Shore https://thedoublenegatives.com/
