Guster Tickets:
Guster is an American alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 1991, they are known for their live performances and humor. Founding members Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, and Brian Rosenworcel formed the band through practice sessions while attending Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. They met during the freshmen Wilderness Orientation program in 1991, playing together as a trio two months later at a coffee house at a dorm. The band's first two full-length albums, "Parachute" and "Goldfly," remained below the radar but their third studio album "Lost and Gone Forever" broke into the musical mainstream in 1999 with its single "Fa Fa," which made the Adult Top 40. The band enjoyed moderate success their fourth album "Keep It Together." Joe Pisapia joined the official lineup for "Keep It Together," and the second album following his joining, "Ganging Up on the Sun," peaked at 25 on the Billboard 200. Their songs have been featured on several television shows and movies including "Martian Child," which featured their song "Satellite;" "Disturbia;" "Wedding Crashers;" "Life as a House," which makes several allusions to the band throughout the film, "The OC;" and one of the bandŐs songs was used in an ad for The Weather Channel. Guster's originally only toured locally before the band gained popularity. In 1999, Guster gave its first performance in Canada, followed by a 2004 tour in Britain. Guster maintains a liberal taping policy and has a very dedicated and active taping community. Despite this policy, the band has released several live shows via iTunes. Guster is often recognized for their choice of instruments. Brian Rosenworcel, the band's percussionist (affectionately dubbed the Thundergod by fans), added to Guster's unique sound with a combination of bongos, cymbals, and other drums, playing live shows using only his bare hands. Guster's sound is recognized for its vocal harmonies, with both Miller and Gardner singing lead vocals on different songs; in songs such as "What You Wish For" and "Happier," the two members sing different lyrics simultaneously. While Guster's studio albums includes a wide variety of instruments, its live shows generally retained the same line-up until tours supporting the albums "Lost" and "Gone Forever" introduced more instruments on some songs. At this time, Rosenworcel began introducing a more traditional drum kit into the stage and studio performances in an effort to move away from bare-hand percussion. Following the release of "Keep it Together," multi-instrumentalist Joe Pisapia, who had been touring with the band, became a full-time member. Guster are also known for their unique live shows. For encores, the band has drummer Brian Rosenworcel, who is not known for his vocals, sing humorous covers. These have ranged from Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" to 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?" to the theme song from the TV show "Cheers." Guster has toured with artists like Ben Folds, Ben Kweller, Pete Yorn, Nada Surf, Nickel Creek, Tally Hall, John Mayer, Rogue Wave, and Rufus Wainwright. Other traditions at live shows have been developed over the years. For example, at the end of "Airport Song", the audience throws ping-pong balls at the stage, in reference to the studio recording, where the audio of a table tennis game can be heard in the background.
