In the early winter of 2004 Dear Augustine was pieced together from the ashes of earlier Wichita, Kansas bands. The band quickly made a name for itself around Kansas, with their energetic live shows and crowd interaction. After numerous shows, the band emerged from the studio in February of 2005 with a five song demo which sold a much greater amount than they originally anticipated. Summer of 2005 saw the band journey on their first and only tour. Making their way across the South and the Midwest with their most recent release in tow, the self-financed five song EP, "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?", capturing the sound the band had been desperately working on since its formation. In their short time together, Dear Augustine shared the stage with such national touring acts as: Haste The Day, The Showdown, He Is Legend, Morning Call, Sherwood, This Providence, Bradley Hathaway, Umbrellas, Brandtson, The Rocket Summer, Lorene Drive, As Cities Burn, Calico System, In the Face of War, Where Eagles Dare, Sub Seven, Disciple, The Chariot, The Handshake Murders, Daphne Loves Derby, Hockey Night, The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Goodbye Tomorrow, Lydia, The Stiletto Formal and New Atlantic. Dear Augustine strived to spread a positive message to everyone who was willing to listen. The five hoped to give their listeners more than just an average show, by putting all of their hearts into what they do and being as honest as they can with their music. Dear Augustine played their final show together on the night of March 13th, 2006 after sixteen wonderful months together. That time as well as their fans meant the world to them.
