Apparently Anthony Green and Kenny Vasoli got together for a one off show at the House of Vans courtesy of Vans/AltPress. It also sounds like we'll be getting some sort of new material released from Vasoli some times in 2012. For now you can watch his run through a slew of different material along with AG's set right after.

Talk about growing up. Kenny Vasoli has gone through a number of projects of note. I'm sure we all remember pop-punk stalwarts The Starting Line back from our younger days. Then there was Person L, an experimental rock outfit we've featured numerous times here on ATG. The latest to come from the Philly native is Vacationer , a collaboration with another favorite of ours, Body Language . Many of you may already be familiar with "Trip," their exotic, soulful, beat-driven debut. Yesterday Vacationer premiered "Gone," a dreamy, laid-back number that strangely matches the moniker as well as its [...]
I really can not believe this is Kenny Vasoli on vocals. The frontman of the pop-punk group The Starting Line, didn't really catchy my attention with his side project, Person L. His new venture, Vacationer , sees him take on a more personal dream pop route. The first track released, "Trip", is exactly that. It feels like a heavy drugged-induced holiday that seems to be as tranquil as possible. So tranquil, that you will start creating your own highly choreographed dance moves on mountaintops. Some of the background effects remind me of the sounds you hear on the queue on Space [...]
Florida emo band Copeland passes by San Francisco with its "farewell" tour at Slim's, bringing along I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business and Person L.

From the moment I heard the opening of Copeland 's Beneath Medicine Tree riding along in a friend's car, I knew I had to get my hands on the album. With its melancholic hospital theme, it was a perfect example of therapy through music; it was there for me during some of the lonelier years away at college. I had the opportunity to follow the band throughout their career, from small the-floor-might-collapse venues to larger ones upon the release of the more pop-influenced In Motion . Admittedly behind on their more recent records, I still couldn't [...]

It was a bittersweet show last Wednesday (March 10, 2010) at Toronto's Opera House. Copeland fans gathered to watch them preform what may be the band's last show in Toronto EVER. The band, hailing from Lakeland, Florida, has been active for about 9 years. Copeland announced of the band's "move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives" on October 29, 2009 on their MySpace blog . The show began shortly after 8PM with Deas Vail, Person L, and I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business opening. [...]

I was a bit put off at first by the dirtier side of Person L's debut full-length, The Positives . Although I had touted their ability to dance between radically different styles, the louder half of the album got a bit too close to a garage rock-like sound for my tastes (I had had enough of that stuff even back when it was "in"). At the time I think I had my own ideas for where I hoped the band would go. Anyways, after continued listening I started to warm up to these grittier tracks. Good timing [...]

Kenneth, formerly Kenny, Vasoli has been making music on a professional level since the tender age 15, first with his successful pop-punk band The Starting Line , currently on hiatus, and now with his heavier, more experimental band Person L . Person L , started as a side project while TSL was still up and rolling, was planned as an outlet for some Vasoli's heavier influence's like At The Drive-In , Fugazi and Drive Like Jehu . The results on the bands first disc, the 8 track Initial, showed these heavier elements, [...]

Person L new songs Person L are streaming 5 brand new tracks from the upcoming record, " The Positives ", to be released on November 17th. Check them out on purevolume.

Update : Hey! It looks like they have plans to get back together , whenever that may be. So I guess this DVD's just supposed to tide us over until then. It's strange how sometimes you only start caring about things once they're gone. I was never a huge fan of The Starting Line while they were around, but after listening to frontman Kenny Vasoli's latest work with Person L pretty much non-stop recently, I've become intrigued by the former pop-punk giant's past. As a result, I've learned a lot about the band [...]

A while back I posted on Kenny Vasoli's (ex-The Starting Line) latest project, Person L . Their debut albumette, Initial , carried a thoughtful, progressive feel that was unlike anything written during the frontman's pop-punk past. Now the Philly five-piece are gearing up to release their first full-length album, The Positives , and to celebrate they've released it's first single, "Untitled." So far, I'm loving it. It's more upbeat than anything from their previous work, but it definitely packs the same punch as Initial 's closer, " Storms ." If anything, I'd liken it to an [...]
