About Me

Tom Nalley started the Irritations in 1992 in his native North Carolina. When the original lineup split up in the late 90s, he moved to Southern California, and started a new lineup of the band, going through different drummers, and adding bassist Scott Free. After working with a drummer named Lori (who later ended up in Diablo 44), he ended up with Chuck on drums. Lots of shows were played, and lots of songs were recorded. Chuck later left to play bass with 647, Downstroke, and later, Thru With It. RT, drumming for Crash Coarse, and playing various instruments with the Eyesores, joined up. Jonas also played bass at some shows. The band name is now Circle City Seven (which you can see at http://www.myspace.com/circlecityseven), and the bass player is Bert from Black Dragon.
