Taylor and Sean had been friends for a very long time, and always liked the same kind of music. Taylor had a guitar that was 32 years old, with a shoestring for a strap, and Sean didn't play an instrument besides dabbling on the keyboard. One day, the thought of starting a band was brought up in a YMCA parking lot. It wasn't serious at first, but as they discussed the idea, it became more of a possibility. It finally got to the point where they wanted to start a band so badly, that Sean bought a bass, and Taylor bought a guitar. They practiced, and got good, but one thing was missing. A drummer.
They made phonecall after phonecall. They looked myspace over a dozen times. They found no one. Finally, after a day of phonecalls, a friend mentioned someone named Josh Berg. Taylor and Sean searched for this Josh Berg on myspace, and found him. His headline was all about drumming. They sent him a message mentioning the band and how it needed a drummer. He sent them a message back titled, "Drummer is me". Taylor and Sean talked to Josh for a while, and it was decided that they would all meet at Josh's house. When The trio met, they all sat down to play for the first time. Without saying a word to each other, Taylor played a riff, Josh joined in on drums, and Sean started in on the bass. They were great together.
A while later, it was decided that another guitar might add a lot to the band. Taylor had been talking to a guy at Showtime Music who was a fellow guitarist, and after playing a show with them, was added. He went by the name of Jesse, or J-Fo.
A few weeks after that, the bassist, Sean, who was a co-founder of the band, decided that it wasn't right for him, and that it was time for him to go his separate way. Very soon after the departure of Sean, a new bassist was interviewed, and after viewing his resume', and having brunch with him, he was inducted into Chasing 24. On the streets, he was known as Russell Billo.
During a summer hiatus, bassist Russell Billo announced his departure from Chasing 24, drummer Josh Berg attended a six week drum program in Vermont, and the lead guitarist position was removed as J-Fo became the new bassist.
