introducing trip metal

About Me

This profile was tweaked at MyspaceGeeks.com{}I made this myspace background atIN EARLY WINTER , 2005, SOME GUYS,THAT WOULD BECOME STILFRAME,BEGAN TINKERING W/ THE IDEA OF FORMING AN ALL ORIGIANAL METAL BAND. IN PARTICULAR,RYAN NICCUM(DRUMS) BEGAN BRINGING OVER A GUITAR PLAYER AND JAMMING OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM OF CHRIS GRAY'S (VOCALS) HOUSE WHEN HE WASNT HOME. I THINK RYAN WAS TRYING TOO GET THE POINT ACROSS TO CHRIS,THAT IT WAS TIME TOO START OVER! THE 2 OF THEM TOGETHER DECIDED THAT IT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND.INSTEAD OF PLAYING A FEW ORIGINALS IN SETS FILLED W/ HOURS OF COVER SONGS,THEY WOULD CONCENTRATE MAINLY ON WRITING THEIR OWN STUFF. SO 3 GUYS BEGAN TRYING TOO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING THAT COULD BE CALLED A SONG IN CHRIS'S LIVING ROOM,FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND THEN THROUGH MUTUAL FRIENDS RYAN SHANYFELT(BASS) WAS INTRODUCED TO THE GUYS! RYAN,FRESH FROM THE BASEMENT INTO A BAND , FURTHER HELPED THE GUYS FIND A SOUND AND PUSH TOWARDS COMPLETING A SONG , BUT AFTER 3 MONTHS SOMETHING WASNT QUITE RIGHT,SO A CHANGE IN GUITAR PLAYER WAS MADE. CHRIS MOLNAR(GUITAR) PROVED TOO BE THE MISSING PIECE OF THE PUZZLE AND STILFRAME WAS COMPLETE!! THE NEXT FEW MONTHS STILFRAME WROTE SEVERAL SONGS AND PLAYED THEIR FIRST GIG(ONLY AFTER THEY HAD BEEN TOGETHER A FEW MONTHS) AT CHEERS LOUNGE IN SOUTH BEND IN. ALTHOUGH, IT WAS SHAKEY , THEY DID WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED WAS WHERE THEIR HEARTS WERE LEADING THEM TOO PUSH THIS ORIGINAL BAND IN AN AREA KNOWN MAINLY FOR DRAWING CROWDS W/ COVER BANDS. SO THE NEXT YEAR OR SO, STILFRAME SPENT WRITING SONGS,DEVELOPING THIS NEW SOUND, AND GETTING GIGS WHEN THEY COULD , MAINLY AT CHEERS LOUNGE,PARTIES AND DOING SOME "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" SHOWCASES-WHICH IS WHERE STILFRAME MET KELLY SELF(GUITARIST FOR GROUND EFFECT). STILFRAME BEGAN PLAYING SHOWS W/ GROUND EFFECT,ALL OVER MICHIGAN-FROM ST. JOE TOO BATTLE CREEK, AND QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THEY WERE DOING BETTER PLAYING 2 HRS FROM HOME,RATHER THAN CLOSE TO HOME,WHERE PLACES TOO PLAY ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN,FOR A BAND LIKE THEM. SO W/ A FAN -BASE GROWING IN MICHIGAN,THANX TOO GROUND EFFECT FOR TAKING STILFRAME IN LIKE FAMILY AND THE DIE-HARDS-THAT HAVE BEEN BEHIND STILFRAME,IN INDIANA,FROM THE START, STILFRAME RELEASED THE "FROM NOTHING TOO NOWHERE" EP-FEATURING SONGS LIKE "TORN","IS IT TIME" & "TRANSITIONS" THAT WERE RECORDED BY NATE ESCOTO- A LONG TIME FRIEND OF THE BAND. STILFRAME HAS BEEN PUSHING "FROM NOTHING TOO NOWHERE" MERCHANDISE,SUCH AS SHIRTS,POSTERS,WRISTBANDS, ALONG W/ THE EP FOR OVER A YEAR NOW,SO THE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN THE BUSIEST OF ALL FOR STILFRAME. STILFRAME CONTINUES TO DRIVE OVER 2 HR.S TOO THEIR HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME IN MICHIGAN- TO DO SHOWS, BUT AS OF LATE, THEY HAVE BROKEN INTO DIFFERENT INDIANA SCENE'S- GETTING INTO LAPORTE AND FT. WAYNE, EVEN PLAYING REAL CLOSE TOO HOME IN WARSAW.,THANX TOO OUR LONG-TIME FRIENDS FROM SIRFACE FOR LETTING STILFRAME PLAY W/ THEM AT REX'S! STILFRAME HAS ALSO DONE SOME SHOWS IN THE AREA WITH N.W.A. WRESTLING MIXING WRESTLING AND METAL! THROUGH THE MANY SHOWS THAT STILFRAME HAS DONE ALL OVER THE AREA THEY HOPE THAT PEOPLE ARE STARTING TOO REGONIZE THAT STILFRAME IS TRYING TOO PUSH A SOUND THAT IS ALL THEIR OWN. STILFRAME IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMEWHERE NEW TOO PLAY OR A NATIONAL ACT TO PLAY WITH, SO IF YOU WANT TOO TAKE A CHANCE WITH A SMALL TOWN,BIG-DREAMING BAND LET US KNOW!!!!!!!! STILFRAME IS ALSO ALWAYS LOOKING FOR TRUSTWORTHY PROMOTERS TOO WORK WITH,SO IF YOUR NOT FULL OF SHIT GET A HOLD OF US SOMETIME!!
