In September, FMLYBND took the stage for the first time in over two years, treating two sold-out crowds to a slew of new music. In the two years the band has been dormant, a lot of change has happened. The band built their own recording studios out of shipping containers in their new home of Costa Mesa, California in addition to launching their own record label through which they will be releasing their upcoming music.

Trading in heavy synth leads for the dreamy jangle of an acoustic guitar, "Wasting My Time" highlights what FMLYBND's Mac Montgomery has always been known to deliver: anthemic vocal hooks containing an extraordinary ability of swooning the listener into a euphoric state of nostalgia. In the years they’ve been away from their desk, the group has rediscovered its musical identity and come back into the fray with a deeper sense of musical-self. Emerging through the veil of LFOs and oscillators, FMLYBND’s undeniably fun hooks adorn a sound that is more fun, more natural, but just as fun as they’ve ever been.

A native-born Texan, John Michael Pekowski, PhD (b. 1975) began composing music at age 11. Simple improvisations on the family upright piano were followed by electronic compositions in BASIC code on the TI-99 computer.

In Junior High (1988) he was elected President of the Science Club, served as Social Chairman of the band, was awarded the John Philip Sousa Award, and was a featured soloist on trumpet. In High School (1994) John was section leader, co-principal trumpet of LYSO, Jazz One soloist (TTU Band Camp), and TMEA All-State Concert Band participant.

He was a member of the Texas Tech University Jazz One, Symphonic Band (1994-2002), recorded with the fee-improvisation ensemble YATE, his dissertation greatly advanced our understanding of the hierarchical organization of pitch-interval cycles within a voice-leading context, and was in contention for the Graduate Achievement Award.

The world premiere of his composition Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet, took place in 2024 and was performed by the Texas New Music Ensemble conducted by Bill Tacket. In 2021 Forest of the Birdsong for soprano sax (David Dees) and piano (Nataliya Sukhina) was premiered at Crickets Theater / Buddy Holly Hall.

Dr. Pekowski continues to compose classical instrumental. Recent works include String Quartet Suites No. 1-9 (2019-2022), Jest of Moonlit Point for Pierrot Quintet (2024), Brookhollow Bayou for Solo Flute (2024), and Suite for Orchestra No1-No2 (2023-2025).
