The Calling
Career
After forming in 1999, Band and Kamin were signed to a record deal with RCA.
The Calling’s first album was recorded from 1999-2001. As the band advanced, Sean Woolstenhulme (guitars), Billy Mohler (bass) and Nate Wood (drums) were added in 2001 as extra musicians/touring musicians, and a few of the songs were re-recorded. The Calling’s first album, Camino Palmero, was issued in July 2001 and quickly became a hit, due to the strength of its single, “Wherever You Will Go.” The song was featured prominently in the television series Smallville’s first season episode “Metamorphosis.”.
In June 2002, Woolstenhulme left The Calling; He was later replaced by Dino Meneghin. Mohler and Wood left in October 2002. In November 2003 former members Wood and Mohler sued Band, Kamin, and the group’s management accusing each of mismanagement, fraud, and asking for an audit of the money that was spent during their tenures in The Calling. They claim they were promised a share of the royalties and profits from touring and merchandise in 2001-02. Band and Kamin claimed the two were hired musicians and not entitled to royalties.
In June 2004 the group returned with Two. The album had three singles and accompanying videos, “Our Lives”, “Things Will Go My Way”, and “Anything”. With new touring musicians, the band toured for most of 2004, with founding member Kamin only making sporadic appearances. In July 2005, the band went on indefinite hiatus after playing a farewell show in Temecula, California. Alex Band’s solo album, entitled We’ve All Been There is slated for a 2nd quarter 2008 release[citation needed]. Alex and his new band (often mislabeled as “The Calling”) played sporadic gigs around the U.S. and Brazil in 2008. The band performed at Washington State University on April 19, 2008 for Springfest. They also performed at Towson University on April 26th, 2008 at the annual Tigerfest show. On top of these two concerts, they played in Celebration, Florida on October 10, 2008.
