Building 429 is a Christian rock band signed to Word Records. They were the Gospel Music Association 2005 New Artist of the Year.

They have headlined one tour, called the Rise tour, which promoted their second album, Rise. They were joined on this tour by TAIT, the solo project of dc Talk member Michael Tait. They will be joining another dc Talk member, toby Mac for his "Portable Sounds Tour" in the spring of 2007, along with Thousand Foot Krutch and Family Force 5.

History

In late 1999, bassist Scotty Beshears and guitarist/vocalist Jason Roy met in North Carolina at the final performance of Roy's band All Too Familiar. Beshears had formerly been involved with Elijah's Ride, another independent band. They teamed up with drummer Christian Fuhrer to form a new band which blended modern pop-rock music with Christian-themed lyrics. The trio began to perform under the name "Building 429." Year 1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar). ...


According to Jason Roy, the band's name originated from a youth group. Roy's wife Cortni had once belonged to a youth group that had a system called the "429 Challenge," based on Ephesians 4:29.[1] Whenever someone in the group spoke negatively about another, others were allowed to issue a verbal "four twenty-nine." This resulted in the offender having to say something nice to the person that was offended. The band members took this challenge and created a name around it - building one another up, hence, "Building 429."


Throughout the year 2000 Building 429 held a relentless touring schedule, with over 100 shows played and 3,000 of their first (self-titled) CD sold. For 2001 they deepened their sound by adding a second guitarist, Paul Bowden, to their lineup. Further success saw them place number 1 on Flicker Records' A&R online website and forum (no longer online). Much of the band's early success can be attributed to their extensive touring schedule and tendency to write and perform upbeat, commercially-friendly pop-rock songs. 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Flicker Records is a Christian record label based in Franklin, Tennessee. ...


In the summer of 2002, Building 429 released the EP Preflight, featuring three rough-mixed recordings from their forthcoming second independent release, plus four acoustic demos. This EP was only available at live shows and on the band's website. In the fall of 2002, their second full-length independent album, entitled Flight, was released. Initially packaged as a CD-R in a sleeve with no artwork (save for a thermal printed disc label), the album was sold at shows and through the band's website. In 2003, the album was re-titled Building 429 and professionally pressed and repackaged in a full-sized jewel case with complete artwork. 2002 ended with Saul Johnson replacing Chris Fuhrer as drummer. For album titles with the same name, see 2002 (album). ... 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


In 2003, Building 429 joined rock worship band Sonicflood on tour. This experience would garner the band national exposure, leading to a record deal with Warner Music Group label Word Records. Also in 2003, Saul Johnson left Building 429 to pursue other interests, and Michael Anderson (formerly of Remember Jonah) joined as drummer. Studio work immediately began on the band's major-label debut album. SONICFLOOd is a Nashville based CCM group and made their debut in 1999 with their self-titled album, SONICFLOOd. ...

"Glory Defined," Building 429's first nationally serviced radio single, rose to number 1 on eight combined Christian AC and CHR charts in early 2004, remaining number 1 on Christian Radio Weekly's (CRW) AC chart for ten consecutive weeks, claiming the spot faster than any single in the history of the publication. [2] The song was the title track from the Glory Defined EP, released April 6, 2004. The EP featured three full-mix tracks (the title track, "Free" and "Show Me Love") and two "unplugged" songs, "The Space In Between Us" and "All You Ask Of Me." A second, AC mix version of "Glory Defined" was also on the EP. On July 27, 2004, Building 429's national debut Space In Between was released. Produced by Jim Cooper, the album gave three more radio hits, including "Above It All," "The Space In Between Us" and "No One Else Knows." The release of the album was followed by major touring with artists such as Jeremy Camp, Tree63 and Sonicflood.

Building 429 received four Dove Award nominations and won New Artist of the Year by the Gospel Music Association in 2005. Touring also continued alongside artists Todd Agnew, Barlowgirl, Casting Crowns and Paul Colman. [3] An expanded edition of Space In Between was released in August 2005, which included the full original album plus two tracks from the Glory Defined EP ("All You Ask of Me" and "Free"), the AC mix of "Glory Defined," a radio mix of "No One Else Knows" and a cover of Chris Tomlin's "Famous One." Early in 2005 Jesse Garcia (formerly of Afterglo) was asked to fill in for guitarist Paul Bowden, after Bowden suffered an elbow injury during an autograph session. When Bowden returned, the band decided to keep Garcia on as a third guitarist and keyboardist, allowing lead vocalist Jason Roy to concentrate more on singing during concerts.[4] By the fall of 2005 the band was back in the studio to record their sophomore album Rise.

Produced by Monroe Jones, Rise (released March 14, 2006) featured a heavier sound more in line with the band's live performances. The first singles to be released from the record included "Searching For a Savior," "Fearless" and "I Belong to You." The album also included guest vocals from former dc Talk member Michael Tait and a cover of Blessid Union of Souls' hit "I Believe." In January of 2006 it was announced that guitarist Paul Bowden would be leaving the band at the end of the month to pursue other areas of ministry. As of this writing the band has shown no public desire to replace Bowden. March 14 is the 73rd day of the year (74th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In January 2007 the band officially announced through its e-mail list, website and MySpace page that bassist and band founder Scotty Beshears had left the band to pursue "another chapter" in his life.[6] Recording continued throughout January for Building 429's third major studio release, entitled Iris to Iris. "Grace That is Greater," a track from the album, was made available as a digital single through the iTunes music service on March 6, 2007. 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ... This article is about about the iTunes application. ...


Iris to Iris, released May 1, 2007, and produced by Brown Bannister, took the band's album lineup in a different direction. According to the band's MySpace page, Jason Roy (principle songwriter) felt that initial songwriting sessions were not turning out material that was right for the band or the project. The band "sensed that God was calling them in a new direction." After praying about the circumstances and the music they were creating, the band made the decision to strictly focus the songs on God. After that, according to Roy, "the songs just started to flow. It was the easiest, most fulfilling, and most fun songwriting process we have ever experienced." The resulting 11-track Iris to Iris became a collection of original worship songs and two hymn reworkings ("Grace That is Greater" and "Search Me O God"), making for a mellower and more ethereal-sounding record than past recordings from the group. Building 429 also saw a change in writing as band members Michael Anderson and Jesse Garcia joined Jason Roy in the songwriting process, as well as veteran Christian songwriter Chris Eaton (Amy Grant, Point of Grace, Jaci Velasquez). Brown Bannister is a noted Christian music producer, best known for his work with Amy Grant and Petra. ... Chris Eaton was born in Stockport, United Kingdom on March 13, 1989. ...

Jaci Velasquez (born Jacquelyn Davette Velasquez on October 15, 1979) is an American Contemporary Christian and pop singer. ...


In May of 2007 the band embarked on a month-long schedule of tour dates with up-and-coming band Jackson Waters to promote Iris to Iris. Jackson Waters is rock band, featuring Brian Meek on bass, David Leonard on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Ryan Hawk on drums and both Toby Friesen and Jesse Lafave on guitar. ...
