About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Like any thriving metropolis, Aberdeen City is a safe haven for street preachers, park bench philosophers, and unrepentant romantics who are drawn together by the potent pulse of happy accidents, risks taken, principles honored and life lived at its most concentrated. The quartet formed in Boston in 2001, after the paths of its founding members crossed and re-crossed. Singer/bassist Brad Parker, drummer Rob McCaffrey and guitarist Ryan Heller first met in the Chicago neighborhood where they all grew up, and then again, at the Boston area college all three separately chose to attend. Back in Chicago, McCaffrey and Heller had survived their first blush-inducing high school bands together, and known Parker from around town. The quixotic chance of finding themselves reunited at the same east coast college was reinforced by their isolation amid a sea of preppy overachievers. And they knew a kindred spirit immediately, when they met a slightly younger guitarist and local DJ, Chris McLaughlin. Aberdeen City was founded. When the band's elder members graduated later that year, they knew the group must remain where McLaughlin was and cemented Boston as their home base. Over the next five years, they refined their sound and started growing their reputation, playing frequent shows in New York City and opening for Stellastarr*, British Sea Power, The National, Elefant, The Go! Team, and We Are Scientists. Their increasing momentum was embodied during a sold out show at CMJ 2005, as eager fans watched the band perform from the sidewalk outside the club.
