About Me

Were not a band anymore. The band started as a simple past time in the summer of 2005. Things got serious. They played some shows. Recorded some music. Hopefully left their mark. _____________________________________________________
"I enjoyed it while it lasted. It was fun. I wish the best of luck to all my band members, even the most obscure ones. Whether it was playing with Stigma 13 at the Beer Garden or playing with Monster Squad at the Epidemic to a crowd of 600+. The band definitely made it further than I ever expected. Hell, I never thought we were even gonna have our first practice. I still remember it too! Arthur not being there because Jeff didn't really like him. It was basically me, Zak and Jeff. I even remember the first song we played together was "Radio" by Alkaline Trio. I remember when Jeff quit and we got Hunter. I remember when we let Arthur go and although some say we sounded better, I felt with that move, we lost something we had. Perhaps it wasn't a very nice thing to do, but it happened. I remember recording. I remember playing shows. I remember making flyers. I remember making merchandise. Good fucking times. The band practices at Hunter's, where we always ended up playing Super Smash Bros upstairs in the empty room. I wont forget this band. I wont forget the evolution and sometimes devolution of our music, so maybe we should just call it the changes in our music. It definitely showed me what its like to be in a real band, and what its like having something start from a stupid idea into a full blown band with somewhat of a fan base. And what its like to have something that is completely yours. Something that you can hold onto for the rest of your life. None of the original band is left, and its kinda weird being the last original member, but whatever. Thanks for all the good times."
