ED was started by Dane Barbo. With the phenomenal growth of the local music scene Dane decided it was time to take a break from his current band situation and create an upstart group featuring modern pop and metal combined with old-school punk. The result is the Corning based power-punk trio called ED.
Naming the band was a no-brainer for Dane who chose to honor his best pal, his 20 year old black lab, ED. Finding suitable talent was another story. Dane knew plenty of musicians but demanded three major components as the essential ingredients.
1. They had to be in High-School,
2. They had to have compatible musical interests
3. They had to be willing to practice (a lot!)
Trevor (T-Bor) Thompson from Los Molinos High had known Dane for a few years as his parents were friends with Dane’s. He played Sax in the School band and had recently taken up the Bass. With all three essential attributes Dane knew he would be a perfect fit for ED. Dane and T-Bor started jammin’ regularly and began their search for a Guitarist.
Enter Rein Tice. Rein had recently moved to Corning from Vacaville and like T-Bor was a Sax player in his School band. He was a solid guitarist and quickly displayed his ability to learn ED’s music.
Together these three encompass what is missing from today's music scene. Young musicians with the drive and ability to compose music that will make the experienced bands take notice.
They are ED.
