Biography

Into The Woods may refer to
1. female-fronted rock/metal band
2. a Melbourne folk band
3. an international collaboration of snowsport instructor musicians

It may also be an incorrect artist tag for a musical by Stephen Sondheim.

1. Formed in 2006 by Mike Watchorn and Alex ‘Gooders’ Goodwin from the ashes of previous projects. Over the course of the first year ITW gathered members for the remaining positions in the band and got down to writing, rehearsing and promotion ahead of its release.

By the summer of 2007 ITW were finally ready for the stage, and with a well received debut show and a few magazine live reviews under the belt the band had already started to make a mark in the unsigned UK circuit.

Throughout their first year of shows and promotion, various members were in and out of the recording studio on a regular basis to piece together all the material for the self titled debut mini-album. With all the usual rock band curses, the album went through complications (holding it back from its originally planned synchronisation with the first string of shows) and became a physical form in the fall of 2008, in time for the group’s successful first full UK tour.

2009 saw the band embarking on further promotion and many larger shows including a double performance at the UK’s Bloodstock Open Air Festival in Derby.


2. Into the Woods are a Melbourne folk band from another time… Likened to Wilco, Midlake and Okkervil River, the band’s folk sound results from slight surprises on traditional formulas.

    It's still a terrible thing ever since search engines existed to name your band after published work.

    Anyone who bitches about a band being featured here is a flipping idiot!!! My god seriously have you nothing better to do?!! THIS IS AN ARTIST PAGE...not a featured work by a composer page. If you want to celebrate Stephen Soundheim there is an artist page for him. If you were a musician working in a band you would understand how hard it is to get exposure in this world.

    One of the best, underrated musicals. Bernadette Peters was simply amazing. Sondheim is a genius for making this amazing musical.

    <rant> You know what I'd be all for? Tags staying constant instead of shifting to accomodate every artist that comes down the pike. I say the picture here ought to STAY the musical cover until THIS band has enough of their songs listened to TO EVEN MAKE IT INTO THEIR OWN TOP TEN. </rant>
