Southeast Engine

about

Southeast Engine was an American indie-folk-rock band from Athens, Ohio, that was formed in 2000 by Adam Remnant (aka "Rem") (lead vocals, guitar) and Leo DeLuca (drum kit, percussion). The band split around 2012. Both Remnant and DeLuca attended the same high school in Dayton, Ohio and grew up in "The Gem City" during its musical heyday of the 1990s. Underground bands like Guided By Voices, Brainiac, and Swearing At Motorists made significant and long-standing impressions upon the two youngsters. Around 2000, the pair moved to Athens, Ohio, and were equally inspired by the Appalachian old-timey and folk music of the area. Thus, Southeast Engine became a hybrid of the Dayton, Ohio, musical underground and the Athens, Ohio, folk scene. Longstanding member, Michael Lachman (keyboards, Wandering Genie) began playing with the band soon after its formation. The three were joined by Jesse Remnant (Adam's younger brother) on bass guitar and harmony vocals. Josh Antonuccio played on, engineered, and helped produce the group's records at 3 Elliott Studio in Athens, Ohio. Conrad Dillon played on, engineered, and helped produce the group's records at 178 N. Congress St. in Athens, Ohio. The Wrens (Absolutely Kosher Records) were pivotal to Southeast Engine's progression. The two bands played together for the first time in 2005. Charles Bissell, one of the songwriters for The Wrens, really took to Southeast Engine's music and led the band to Cory Brown of Absolutely Kosher / Misr
