The Beginnings...They started as the FLYING PENGUIns in 1999 with just Ryan C. and Kevin. The Flying Penguins never performed any music. Then in 2000 the band changed to the DRUNKEN SAILORS and still didn't make a sound. Then in Summer of 2000 added Kenny Burst as drummer and the band name was undecided.In October 2000 David joined at bass. Then the band name changed to CODASCO. Codasco practiced alot but never performed. Then sadly in 2000 Kenny left soon after David joined.Brent then joined the CODASCO The new drummer was then Russell. The band then picked up Jack as vocalist and percussionist.Then in December 2000 the band changed to it's current title SATISFACTION The band then had their first performance in Jan. of 2001. The band kicked Brent out and brought him back a few times and his final departure was in 2002.100%....Soon after Brent left, Satisfaction went on to record their first Album entitled "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed".
