His favorite drummers are Mitch Michell, John Bonham , and Ian Paice. John Carey , Vocals and Harmonica Influenced by his uncle's band "yesterday's children" at age 12, music was an everyday part of John's life. Listening to records, radio, and watching television, John became more interested in music and the prospect of some day being part of the music world, which did not take long. By using a light bulb as his first microphone, He began to mimic the lyrics of such bands as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Monkees. Singing in grammer school and soon forming his own band in his garage, he made his first puplic appearance at age 15 and continued being in bands to this day. In the thirty plus years of being involved in bands, I would say there is nothing compared to being part of this band "Nitestrike" and like a happy marriage I feel we will stay together as a band until death do us part. Now that's the way it should be and it's a good feeling.CINDY S.-VOCALS, PERCUSSIONYOU PROBABLY KNOW HER ALREADY...CINDY HAS PERFORMED ON THE LOCAL BAND SCENE AND COMES TO YOU FROM THE BANDS FREEFALL AND PLASTICA.
