History

Both The Agency and The Vacant Andys were South Florida bands active around the time that Dashboard Confessional was gaining momentum. Marsh and Bonebrake formed Seville with ex-Vacant Andy John Owens and ex-Agency Chris Drueke [1] .

Seville quickly recorded the first 6-song e.p. "Waiting In Seville" on Fiddler Records and went on tour with Dashboard Confessional. By the end of 2001, Seville had already toured with Ben Kweller, Sense Field, Duvall, Further Seems Forever, Ultimate Fakebook, Midtown, and Rival Schools. After that tour, Marsh became a full-time member of Dashboard Confessional, while Bonebrake remained in Seville. Drueke at this time became the primary vocalist [ citation needed ], and they recruited Kris King (Against All Authority/Machete) on drums. This line-up recorded four songs for a split release with Duvall and subsequent tour in the summer of 2002.

Fiddler Records was a small independent record label serving as the launch pad for several artists seminal to the pop, punk and emo genres. Starting as the brainchild of 16-year-old entrepreneur Amy Fleisher Madden in 1996, the label became well known for its early releases from marquee artists Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory. Over the course of 10 years, Fiddler Records developed a steady roster of successful artists such as The Bled, The Higher, Recover, Juliette & The Licks, Name Taken and Classic Case.

Ben Kweller American singer

Benjamin Lev Kweller is an American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

Sense Field was an American rock band from Southern California, formed in 1991 following the demise of Chris Evenson and Jon Bunch's previous outfit, Reason To Believe. The band broke-up in 2004, although they briefly reformed for two Revelation Records' anniversary shows in 2012 and 2013 as well as a pair of Jon Bunch memorial shows in 2016.

Midway through the tour all the members of Seville realized that the personality conflicts and the chemistry without Mike was just not enough to keep going. The band parted ways on the second night of tour with Schatzi. In the van ride home, the guys gave Chris Drueke their blessings to continue with Seville should he so desire. Chris Drueke then recorded what was intended to be a solo CD entitled "Take Me Home." Through some prodding from friends, family, and the record label, the CD was released under the name Seville in early 2003. Though Drueke released a live recording of an acoustic performance under the name Seville, the band's life was practically over.

Schatzi is an American band from Oklahoma, based in Austin, Texas, formed in 1996 by Montez Williams, Christian Kyle, Jason Westbrook and Jason Altman.

Current projects

Mike Marsh and Chris Drueke have since reunited with Klaus Ketelhohn to revive The Agency. The new CD from the Agency entitled "Turn" will be released February 6 on Perch/Eulogy. Dan Bonebrake is currently playing with Vagrant Record's John Ralston, and John Owens is playing with ex-Vacant Andy Darryl Bonebrake in Band No. 12.

John Ralston is an American acoustic/electric guitarist singer and songwriter. He is originally from Lake Worth, Florida, and is a member of the band Legends of Rodeo, which is currently on an indefinite hiatus. He has released two full-length albums, two EPs, and just released his third solo record, Shadows of the Summertime. A 7"single of "Jesus Christ b/w A Marigny Christmas" was released in early 2011.
