THE HIGH BEAMS

About Me

Just four guys who love to play music with each other. We've spent the last two years recording an album that will never be released. Or maybe it will, we don't know. So if you'd like a copy of it just ask and you shall receive. Or maybe you won't, we don't know. However, we love to play if we can. It's rare, but when all the planets align and a cool breeze shuffles through Hell, we get together. Jack and Ian were once in a band called Edgar's Mule. In the summer on '05 two members of that band decided to call it quits. In January '06, The High Beams were formed. With Jack, Ian, Mike Sasich, (Thunderfist, !andalei,Silent Sevens), Jason Rock, (J.W. Blackout, Silent Sevens, Townie). Jason Rock left to form Townie. A band that showcased his songwriting. That's when J.R. Rupell, (Jerry Joseph and the Jack Mormans), joined The High Beams. That's where we are today. Some say were "Alt. Country", but were quite a bit more than that we'd like to think.
