The Offers consists of three (3) members. They are all playing music for the same reason: to play music. There's Bill on drums, Steve on bass, and Andy on guitar and vocals.
Bill Siegler has been around music his whole life. He started playing guitar in high school to meet chicks. So when that didn't work, he switched to bass guitar. He played in a little known band from Buffalo called Cold Duck that played at places like the Continental in downtown Buffalo. The drummer for this band, no doubt, inspired Bill to consider drums as a possibility. After years and years of drinking, Bill eventually ended up swithching back to guitar and fronting a cover band by the name of Nevermind. It was during this short time that Bill met Andy and started to dig the music. He also started writing some music of his own. Still unable to do well with the ladies, Bill finally decided to play the drums. He searched for the right band for a while, and ended up going to the studio with Andy to record their E.P.
Steve C. Johnson started playing guitar in high school also. He and Bill met at a mutual friend's house once while both going there to jam. The two became friends bound by their similarities in musical tastes. Steve started a band called Cold Duck, and the two were exposed to the local scene for the first time. After some time co-hosting a show on a college radio station, which they were kicked off of for swearing, the band broke up due to difficulties in transportation and subsequent disagreements. Steve eventually decided that he should get back into music more, and accepted an invitation to jam with Bill and Andy after hearing the CD. It became obvious that when Steve Johnson shows up, grunge happens. He was a natural addition to the group, and shows were lined up shortly after.
Andy Pfeiffer has been playing guitar since he was 10 years old. His punk/grunge/punk influences are a result of the fact that he somehow managed, unlike most of us, to be exposed to really cool music at a very young age. His lack of respect for authority combined with his deep hatred of tomatoes, made for some great visceral guitar sounds and engrossing lyrics. The adding of Bill to Andy is like the adding of kerosene to a fire. The three of them spend their time drinking, rocking, drinking and then rocking.
