Diminishing Jim Biography

A Band Called Diminishing Jim
Diminishing Jim is an original rock band from Connecticut. The band has a truly
unique sound, incorporating elements of rock, pop, groove rock, and hard rock. The
band's songs are catchy with three part harmonies, yet raw and energetic. They have
been compared to bands including Foo Fighters, Vertical Horizon, Jimmy Eat World
and The Cars.

The band is Ted Petrie (guitar/vocals), Bill Stevens (guitar/vocals), Jim Hoefelt
(bass/vocals), and Brendan Johnston (drums). All the band members have been
playing in the local music scene for years in bands including Megahertz, 3-Eyed Fish,
Milo, and Dust Jacket.

The band was formed as a trio in late 2004 including Ted Petrie, Jim Hoefelt, and
Brendan Johnston. In early 2005 the band added second guitar player/singer Bill
Stevens, and within weeks was playing its first gig at Schmedley's Pub in Storrs CT.

After just a single performance, the band was immediately booked at popular
Connecticut clubs including The Corner Pocket in Orange, the legendary Toad's Place
in New Haven, and more shows at Schmedley's Pub.

The band is actively gigging on the Connecticut scene showcasing new material and
is currently mixing its first full length CD for release in late 2007.
