About Me

Gene here...Here's the story: Basically, a few years ago, our drummer Matt quit to play in another band. So, we started auditioning drummers. First guy shows up, plays rad as shit, joins the band and in true drummer fashion...never shows up again! Then, longtime rhythm guitar master Jonathan moves to San Diego. We then acquire local guitar legend Troy and begin practices. At the same time, our next drummer joins. He is very young but talented and looks as if its gonna work out. He invites a friend over for practice and the very next day, Gabes house is broken into and most of our equipment is stolen. So, we interrogate the shit out of this kid about our stuff. Turns out he didn't do it, and rightfully so, we/he decide it would be better to part ways. By this time, we have had our spirit broken by all the strikes against us and it all fell apart. We find out a local crackhead piece of shit was the culprit of the thefts and he has yet to turn up. One of Gabes stolen guitars, his beloved Jackson Soloist, shows up. Not in a pawn shop or music store, NOOOOO. How about floating in the fucking Potomac River!! I know, I couldn't make this shit up if I wanted to! Anyway, a bunch of 30 something guys that just want to play metal for the fun of it, get totally fucked over by the Gods Of Metal. Sooooooo, if you wanna jam in a band just merely for the fun of it, MESSAGE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
