The Unawares, of Columbia, SC, have been together as a rock trio since 2006. They approach conventional rock songwriting with idiosyncratic, unpredictable, minimalist, up-tempo brevity.

Encouraged by the bandâs self-produced debut, âHey Zeus,â local recording engineer/producer Chris Wenner stepped into take the bandâs following three recording projects to a new level. âHey Zeusâ was a multi-tracked studio project produced independently by the band in John Watkinsâ noise-proof garage. The album was sold at The Unawaresâ first live gig at The Whig in Columbia in late 2006.

Wenner approached The Unawares after that show and offered to record the band live using a two-track analog machine in his vaulted-ceilinged loft. The âTooth Dipâ EP, released in November of 2007, was the first collaboration between The Unawares and Wenner. âPinkie Greeneâ was the full-length follow-up, recorded in Wennerâs West Columbia spread, now known as Anole Ridge Studio. âPinkie Greeneâ proved so strong that, along with The Unawaresâ local shows, the band played gigs along the east coast region, including Athens, Atlanta, Charlotte, Charleston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

Watkins, the ever prolific songwriter, introduced the band to his new material in early 2010, which the band developed together. The Unawares entered Anole Ridge Studio in May 2010 to record what is now âWhen The Trees Are Empty.â
