Brickyard Whales

About Me

Awhile back it was just Adam and Billy jamming together saying we should form a band but one problem we need a bass player. After years of jamming together Adam and Billy recruited Chris Melvin as a bass player. In November 2007 the band played its first gig as The Replays. The first gig was also the last gig as The Replays because shortly after Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Kevin Waite joined the band. When Kevin joined the band the band became complete and we the became the band known as Brickyard Whales. In late November and December 2008 original founding members Billy Kajos and Chris Melvin resigned from the band leaving core founding member Adam Roth and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Kevin Waite. For now we will continue as a duo until we fill spaces, enjoy the music for it will still sound like a band we will just be playing all the parts ourselves.

12/4/08-In very late November and early December 2008 original founding member Billy Kajos resigned from the position of drummer,keyboards, and occasional bass stating that his music ideals are going in a new direction that are incompatible with the band, also original founding member Chris Melvin resigned from the position of bass player and occasional drummer stating that he did not want to be part of a new lineup of the band. Now we will continue as a duo multitrack recording all parts until we find new members, also we will go under a name change but most of the songs will remain.
