About Me

Yesterday Was Mine - A melting pot of the latest and greatest that planet earth has to offer. Their first gig was in 2005, second gig was in 2006, third was in 2007! - you do the math! Could be a fourth show winging its way to your very ears in 2008!The band was inspired after Richard O’Brien (Rocky Horror Show) suggested to Paul that he should start writing his own music as most musicians never do. Paul then inked a diagram into his grail diary outlining what would later become the ‘Yesterday Was Mine’ coat of arms. Paul was in!However progress was halted due to a guitary-like void appearing in most songs. As Paul perused the unemployment papers over a Mocha at Cafe Cezanne, it dawned on him to place the following classified ad - Guitar hero wanted.Adam was reading the paper with his morning toast and coffee when his destiny appeared to him as an obscure stain left by his coffee cup - it was not apparent at the time, but that stain would later be exclaimed as an exact replica of the ceiling of the Sistine chapel . And as luck would have it, Paul’s ad was the canvas. -- Adam was in! However the band now faced a new issue, where was the man behind the kit? the final knight to join Paul and Adam at the round table so to speak. Steve at the time was drumming for an underground 80’s ‘hair metal’ band. After a show, Steve was approached in the parking lot by two cloaked figures. It was none other than Paul and Adam, they left him with an inscribed stone tablet, and Steve was left with more questions than answers.The tablet contained a pledge. The inscription spoke of a promise - a case of ice cold Dr Pepper after every show. Steve was in! He then rightfully assumed his place at the table.Therefore if you add the final third to the previous two thirds of the ‘then to be’ band - it creates a whole!! Ladies and gentleman,
I dub thee ‘Yesterday Was Mine’.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/3/2005
Band Website: yesterdaywasmine.com
Band Members: Paul Taite - Bass/Vox
Adam Legget -Guitars/Vox
Steve Taite -Drums/Vox

Influences: Lots of influences - but I'm not really a fan of listing then, its more for the audience to listen and add their interpretation to the songs, you see we think of the audience as the extra member of Yesterday was mine. That extra member provides what I have coined, "the third leg" ... this third leg comes in handy for taking still photos, and for doing stunt double work for William Dafoe.
