Formed in 2006 out of a friends apartment, the concept of Sexoffce was born. With an original name in likeness to their electric sound, this Philly based band has the audacity to raise the status of the Fusion genre. Allow us to explain. When listening to Sexoffice for the very first time it is key that you expect the unexpected. Each track showcases their creativity with a blend of harmoNized vocals and the instrumentals of the rock, jazz and classical persuasion. Sexoffice is willing to challange the standards of today's music with the influence of artists such as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles. The results are songs with a keen appreciation for melodies and lyricism that many musical artists abandoned years ago.
You may have the urge to ask how a band full of fresh faces could have such a well-rounded approach to music. The answer lies within their relentless work ethic and will to consistently improve their sound. "We dont have any limit as to what we hold ourselves to." , explains guitarist Zach LoPresti, "Each of us brings something different to the table, we feed off of each others talents."
An association with The School of Rock in Cherry Hill brought the members of Sexoffice together. Add in hours of rehearsals, a few lineup changes and performances throughout the greater Philadelphia area and you have the multitalented bunch they are today. The band now consists of five members: Nick Lauria (vocals, keys, trombone), Zach LoPresti (lead guitar),
Jeremy Savo (guitar, vocals), Kevin Savo (bass, vocals, electric piano), and Ethan Feinstein (drums, percussion, saxophone). The addition of Sam Gutman and Matt O'Neil forms their collaborative band, Out of The Beardspace, which is due to release a self entitled EP on Febraury 18th at The Maggot House.
Listening to their story, it is clear to see that this band is hungry; never letting an opportunity to build a positive demographic slip through their musically inclined fingertips.
