Seville was a rock ensemble established in the winter of 2001 by Mike Marsh from The Agency and Dan Bonebrake, known for his work with The Vacant Andys and previously Dashboard Confessional. The band dissolved in 2003 as members moved on to other ventures.
History
As Dashboard Confessional gained popularity, both The Agency and The Vacant Andys were active South Florida groups. Marsh and Bonebrake joined forces to create Seville, bringing in former Vacant Andy John Owens and ex-Agency member Chris Drueke.
Seville promptly produced a six-track EP titled Waiting In Seville under Fiddler Records and supported Dashboard Confessional on tour. By the end of 2001, their touring roster included acts such as Ben Kweller, Sense Field, Duvall, Further Seems Forever, Ultimate Fakebook, Midtown, and Rival Schools. Marsh transitioned to a full-time role with Dashboard Confessional, while Bonebrake remained with Seville. Drueke assumed lead vocal duties and enlisted Kris King (Against All Authority/Machete) as drummer. This formation recorded four tracks for a split release alongside Duvall and toured during the summer of 2002.
During the tour's midpoint, internal disagreements combined with Marsh’s absence resulted in the band's breakup on the second night of touring with Schatzi. The remaining members endorsed Drueke to carry on under the Seville name. Drueke then recorded a solo album, Take Me Home, which was issued as a Seville release in early 2003. Although a live acoustic recording was released under the band’s name afterward, Seville effectively ceased operations.
Current projects
Mike Marsh and Chris Drueke reunited with Klaus Ketelhohn to reform The Agency; their album Turn was launched on February 6 through Perch/Eulogy. Dan Bonebrake is currently collaborating with Vagrant Records artist John Ralston, while John Owens performs alongside former Vacant Andy Darryl Bonebrake in Band No. 12.
