The Dreaming is an American rock band founded in the Hollywood area in 2001 by Johnny Haro and Christopher Hall, former lead singer of the band Stabbing Westward.
The Dreaming formed in mid 2001 after the dissolution of Christopher Hall's former band, Stabbing Westward. Chris and Johnny Haro, who had briefly filled in on drums in Stabbing Westward, took to the studio to record demos for his new project. Enlisting the help of Bryan Carlstrom, who engineered Darkest Days, the group began recording.
The group completed their first round of demo songs by February 2003 and made their live debut at The Gig in Hollywood, California. Throughout the following months, the group played several shows in notable Hollywood venues such as Whisky a Go Go, The Gig, and Dragonfly and signed a deal with Andy Gould Management.
Throughout 2004, the group continued to play shows on the west coast, including gigs in California, Washington and Nevada. In July 2004, the group shot a music video for the song "Beautiful.". In late 2004, the group re-recorded the track "Beautiful" from The Dreaming EP with famed producer Jay Baumgardner for the soundtrack to the 2005 film Elektra.
Original guitarist Diego Russo would be replaced by former Amen guitarist Jinxx. Winter 2005 saw the digital release of the Bonus Tracks EP, and 2006 followed with Dreamo, an EP that featured Hall and Jinxx re-interpreting four of the group's songs with both acoustic guitar and violin.
In Fall of 2006, the group went on their first national tour, The Congress of Corruption. The Dreaming opened for Godhead, Ill Niño and Ra on this tour. Carlton Bost, joined the line-up in 2007 after his previous band Deadsy went on hiatus. The album Etched in Blood was released on January 31, 2008, through a deal with the Hot Topic retail chain, and it also became available for internet purchase through Apple iTunes.
