Eleven Past One

Eleven Past One is a Pop band from the small town of Bowmanville, forty minutes east of Toronto. Made up of two brothers and three friends, they have a long heritage together. Daniel and Stephen Richter are the brothers in Eleven Past One. They come from a very musical family of eight, and have been playing music since early childhood. Starting out classically, they have accomplished so much and are trained on a wide variety of instruments. Eleven Past One started to form in early 2007 as Stephen and Steve began jamming and writing songs after meeting through a high school fire alarm outside the school parking lot. At that time, Daniel had also been writing songs as a solo artist. Daniel got together with Stephen and Steve and they threw their first few songs together in a short period of time. The three of them have been the main writers of the band, collaborating to create their catchy sound. At this point, the band formed but still needed a bass player. In late 2007, Eleven Past One was invited to play in Los Angeles. Not caring that they didn’t have a bass player, they packed their bags and flew down. After playing several of their first shows in Los Angeles, Eleven Past One realized this is what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives. They came back to Canada pumped and began seriously writing. In February of 2009 they hit the open road in pursuit of their dreams for just about six months. Touring the United States in a 30 foot camper, they went through a lot of low points but always stayed positive. They never gave up and it paid off. Sticking it out on the road, they met the right people. In 2009, with the help of their friend and investor they met in Florida along the way, they spent three months in North Hollywood recording their debut, eleven track album with producer Dean Dichoso. The album is called “The Ultimate Catch”. In the past little while, Eleven Past One has been through some changes adding Kyle Bykiv on guitar and Dan Beattie on bass. Along the way, they have and still are capturing the attention of industry professionals. The band currently is working with one of the top writers/producers in the music industry, Brian Howes. The guys went to write, produce and record their single‘Tonights the Night’ in May 2011 in Vancouver at Van Howes Studio with music hit maker Brian Howes and then again in April of 2012 in California; changing that single and creating a whole new one called ‘The World Is Ours’. Eleven Past One is thankful for all the help from industry friends, family, the continuous support from their loyal fans and hopes to keep making music forever.
