Lower Forty-Eight

About Me

Formed in 2000 by Andy and Phil. Ian joined soon after on bass guitar. We recorded two CDs together: "Gentle Tyranny" EP (2001), "Halfback" (2002) Ian left in mid 2003 to pursue a career in water aerobics instructing.
We found Grady on the internerd and he fit the bill for bass. Two records with Grady: "Skin Failure" (2004), "Apertures" (2006).
Two European tours. Oct 2004 and April 2006. Countries: England, Scotland, Holland, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Slovenia, and Switzerland.
Grady moved to Canadia and we called it quits.
