The Pale is a melody driven pop/rock band from Bellingham, Washington. The Pale is:

   Cameron Nicklaus
   Nate Beede
   Gabe Archer
   Jared Archer
   Greg Swinehart

Together since 1997, "Another Innovative Idea For The People On The Go" is their long awaited follow up to 1998's "First Attempt At World Domination." The new album shows the band's maturity toward a new pop prowess, something that's rarely cultivated in such a listenable and likable way these days. The band has been playing regularly in the Northwest, opening for bands like Pedro The Lion, PAX 217, Five O'Clock People, and Aaron Sprinkle. They will continue to support "Another Innovative Idea..." by touring consistantly.

The Pale's taking a bit of a break from their work on new material to help some other bands record. Gabe is in Seattle playing on Late Tuesday's upcoming album, produced by Aaron Sprinkle, and Greg is down in Portland playing drums for Drew Grow of Five O'Clock People. Drew has new solo stuff that is said to be a mix between the Beatles' Revolver and the Sesame Street theme, so Greg should fit in pretty well. There was a nice article about The Pale in WWU's most recent Western Front.
