Jim
Mizelle teamed with Cary Greco (Right On), Stan Banach (Element), and
Brentwood (Rock Star Parking) in 2002 to form the band Phynal Khutt.
During that time he played various venues in the Hampton Roads and
Williamsburg area, as well as eastern North Carolina. After the band
split up in early 2004, he took some time off to get married and start
a family. After nearly a year off, Jim began to get the itch to perform
again, and began searching. He landed gigs with Downside and Fish Tank
Diver, but really wasn't on the same page musically with either band,
so he kept looking. In September of 2005, he found a group of guys that
it "just clicked" with. Jim reemerged on the music scene to deliver his
dynamic vocals as the front man for the band Gridlock 64.
David
began playing folk acoustic guitar at age 14 and by age 21 he switched
to electric guitar. He was immediately into the sounds of Aerosmith,
Pink Floyd, Yes, Van Halen and guitar rock. Learning to become a
technician on the fret board, guitar theory quickly consumed his life
during most of the 80's music scene. He is a technically proficient
guitarist using 5 to 6 fingers at times to execute two handed scale tap
on's. He has the ardent respect of his fellow musicians and a devotion
to his craft. His high energetic guitar sounds showcase his technique
and ability to integrate the old school and new school sounds into
modern rock.
Taxi is
a musician's musician who has performed in local bands for over 20
years. He has played guitar and keyboards for such bands as "The
Scanners", "Mirror Mirror", "Sacred Ground", "Dr. Ruthless",
"Achilles", and "Lovedahl" to name a few. His new weapon of choice is
the drums and now attacks them just as vigorously as he did the
keyboards and guitars. He has expanded upon his vocal abilities in
becoming a strong backup vocalist for the band. His energy, enthusiasm
and raw talent are very much a main part of the "Gridlock 64 " live
performance.
Picking
up guitar at age 16, Gary Scheitle has been playing music for the last
20 years. After a lengthy "band" vacation, he joined forces with his
brother "Taxi" to form Gridlock 64 Handling bass duties live and
co-writing in the studio on guitar. He was influenced early on by bands
like Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy and Kiss, and keeping up with modern bands;
he brings to Gridlock 64 a wide variety of ideas and material. His main
focus is to entertain you with a current sound and an energetic live
show.
