Brooklyn indie rock band We are Augustines, was formed from the ashes of broken up band Pela, in 2010. Former members of Pela, guitarist Billy McCarthy and bassist Eric Sanderson, decided to continue work on the album Pela had failed to complete. The name We Are Augustines comes from the fact that both members have birthdays in August, their former band dissolved in August of 2009, and their were too many bands named just Augustines. Their debut album, Rise Ye Sunken Ships, was released in August of 2011, and produced by Dave Newfield, known for his work with Broken Social Scene. Rob Allen is now the full time drummer for the group.
Pela was known for their intense live performances, and since that band had been around since 2002, it should be assumed that We Are Augustines knows their way around the stage, and it should be a good show.
