Good
Time, Good Music... Isn't that what it's all about?
Well, that is something you can expect from
Misstaken! Each MIsstaken performance is packed
full of energy, good live music, interaction,
entertainment, and fun for everyone, no matter what kind
of crowd! Their music remains very
professional from beginning to end; yet at times,
you would think you were sitting front row at a
comedy show!
Voted
"Central Florida's Hottest Rock Band" by local
listeners around the Central Florida area.
Misstaken
is a high energy party rock band that interpolates much
more than just their great music.
Misstaken likes to "Rock Hard, but Play
Harder" when it comes to performing live. They
bring to each
show a unique and powerful voice,
unmistakable guitar riffs, playful minds, new
entertainment ideas, a
bag of toys, a great sense of
humor, and a charming way of making the audience a part
of each show.
Misstaken's energetic, electrifying and intoxicating live
performances have built a loyal and growing
following
throughout the Central Florida area and wherever they
go. It’s hard to remember any of the
day’s problems
when you get sucked into their magical 'other dimension.'
Misstaken brings the fun,
interaction, entertainment and
dancing right to you - wherever you are; and their ever-changing
and
comedic ways create a magnetic desire to follow
every show to see what will happen next.
They also
create a modern, yet familiar melodic,
distinguished rock music style of their own. You really
won’t be
'misstaken' about this band and you will
NEVER FORGET THEM!

When it comes to having a good time, it takes a playful
mind... That's why each Misstaken show is entirely
original and based off of our energetic feelings. The
bandmates are influenced by the Greats, like David Lee
Roth, Pat Benatar, Edward Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Leslie
Neilsen, Mel Brooks, Jim Carrey, Carol Burnett, Lita Ford, Sammy Hagar, Jimi
Hendrix, Heart, Motley Crue, Poison, Journey, Janis
Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Boston, Rush, 38 Special, Chevy
Chase, Eddie Murphy, Richard Prior, Steve Martin, Chris
Farley, Will Farrel, Sam Kinison, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Martina McBride,
and ourselves along with thousands of other countless
influences.
Misstaken throws all their
emotions into each song they play. But, the biggest
things
that surprises most people is how versatile the genres
are and how genuine the band
is. Both on and off the stage, each member of Misstaken
is "down to earth," easy to talk to, and cares about
people. They are regular people, just like you, that have feelings,
responsibilities,
and goals of their own to reach in life.

---THE
BAND---
CURRENT
The
writing of Misstaken original music is mostly done by
Michael and Linda. The original songs on the "Skin
of Lies" cd were performed by: Linda Logue
("the Angel"), Michael Logue ("Guitarman"
or "Strings"),
Jeff Bluford ("Stix"), and Eric
("Thumper") Brown.
Live
performances with a mix of originals & covers of Misstaken are
always performed with Michael and Linda, and also
include a tag team of our favorite
local musicians for the bass and drums, depending upon
what kind of show, who is available, and where it will
be - Some of the
local musicians performing with Misstaken are: Bill Pellick (bass/backup
vocals), Chuck Imo (drums),
Jason Cissna (drums/backup vocals), Bobby
Wright (bass/backup vocals), Robert
Bass
(drums/vocals), Jeff
Bluford (drums), Eric
"Thumper Brown (Bass/Keyboards/Vocals), Nevin
White (bass/backup vocals), and occasionally Jerome
Robinson (bass), and Mighty
Joe Tappeiner (drums).
One thing is for sure, no matter what
combination used, the band members gel together well and
work off of each other like
close bandmates should and their music is right on. Each member
brings a lot of versatility into the band from their
completely different backgrounds which
helps to make
Misstaken a very unique band.
HISTORY
Misstaken formed in 1998 in South Florida when Michael
& Linda started dating and began working on
combining their music styles together to write their own
original music. The band itself began performing live
local shows in 1999 in the Central Florida area with
Michael's brother, Charlie, helping out on bass, and a
drum machine. The
band has changed a few members through the years, but
the heart and soul of the music, whether original or
covers, has always been there without
question.

BLOG
We
work very hard to put on an entertaining show and we try to make sure
everyone is having a
good time! We try to make YOU feel like you are a huge part of our music
- because you are! Also, we write melodic & meaningful original
music, not just something someone threw together quickly and stuffed with fluff just to quickly get it
out there. After working
many years of performing in bars, clubs, fairs & festivals,
we compiled our own original songs to get us closer
towards our goal of
becoming an all original band that all ages can
enjoy.
We
(Linda & Michael) are
great role models because we don’t use drugs or abuse alcohol and we always try to set a good example of being
honest, kind, responsible, wonderful, happy, and
fun-loving people who love
to work hard and play just as hard as we work – we
represent “the new rock and roll image.” We are
"the heart of rock and roll, and rock and roll with
heart," and of course, we sure love to "Rock Hard, but
Play HARDER!" We continually work on improving
ourselves and our music, and we constantly re-invent
ourselves to keep our fans interest in our music and
sense of style.
Thanks for sticking
around and supporting us - we love you and will never
forget you for believing in us and our music! |
