The Beautiful Failures are an original DC-based band that formed in
early 2002. Jeorge and Norman had emerged from the ashes of the
now-defunct Honeypole. Leah was fresh from both New York and San
Francisco, where she performed with Children of the Corndog. These three
beautiful people found one another and began writing music when their
long-term relationships all ended on the same day. "We were all dumped on February 13th, 2002 and were playing loud angry music together on Valentine's Day," says Seder. "It was a beautiful match following our failures, one that enabled us to
see the good within all the bad and reconstruct the misery into music,"
adds Leah. "There was so much good that we even have a hopeful song
now." The Beautiful Failures are influenced by a wide range of music and fashion from the 1970s and 80s. Creating and performing New Wave, punk, power pop, heavy rock, and punkabilly songs. The Beautiful Failures' music, although diverse, does not lack cohesion or direction. Their words and music always sound as if they come from one unifying voice. A voice that expresses the beauty found at the heart of a failure, that revels the true art of imperfection. John David Coppola, bassist from the Danny Morris Band and Big Fat Daddy joined the Beautiful Failures for their debut performance, Friday, September 27th 2002 at the Velvet Lounge in Washington DC.
