About Me

THE FiTTS no longer are together and thank each and everyone of you who made the music and the shows. We will however keep this page up for people to use as a way to meet other people and share your music. Everyone in the band is pursuing other musical endeavors.
Don Gallardo has moved to Hollywood where he started a new band with Danny Thompson (formerly of PROTEIN and also plays w/Scott Weiland, King Straggler) called DAYS LONG GONE and just finished a a Self-Produced, Recorded, and Mixed album called "Waiting For Someday To Come Soon" which has already created some serious interest by LA Labels.
Darren, Lee Ray and Joey formed HoneyDust with Nickel Longevin on Bass. Darren is also finishing up his long awaited Rock Opera w/ Danny Uzilevsky called The Riverside Kings
Joey is also performing with his own band playing Stones, Faces, & many original titles in his band Poolhall Richards with Lee Ray Drums.
you can find all there music here on THE FiTTS webpage under their Friends link. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
THE FiTTS (formerly known as "The Station") are a hard working, dedicated, five piece rock band from the San Francisco Bay area. The "wall of sound" they create is soaked with driving catchy riffs and lyrical melodies that assures us that ROCK IS STILL ALIVE!!! With a wide range of influences and a live show that is "Raw & Highly Energetic" they draw record number audiences with the familiar vibe of classic rock and keep us wanting more with original power-packed songs that are intriguingly new.
THE FiTTS are constantly writing, refining and redefining the sound of rock using three part harmonies, punchy bass lines and some of the sexiest guitar playing two Marshall stacks can deliver. After working with friend/Producer Davy Vain in 2001 on their full-length album the band has not looked back. They are still a relatively new band but their polished sound is responsible for the buzz stirring from San Diego to Seattle, playing such renowned venues as The Sweetwater in Mill Valley, The Fillmore, Slim's, & The Hard Rock Café in S.F., The Whiskey-A-Go-Go, The Cat Club, Molly Malones in Hollywood and The Tractor Tavern in Seattle.
These guys throw down a pure, pummeling rock attack alla Appetite For Destruction/Back In Black the likes of which i have rarely seen in the last 3 years of touring all over the place. Members of Third Eye Blind and The Drugstore Cowgirls were there to enjoy the grind!!

sexual lamentation

I doubt the change, has been arranged, in clever timing. I'll steal your will, within the reason, of wasted words. A sole division, rips through the angst, of broken saviors. We choose to los...
