About Me


Legends are born, not made; or so they say... The three members of Van Nuys all attended the Las Vegas Academy school for High Flying Acrobats, but didn't join forces until years later. Before reaching the legendary status of Rock Gods the trio filled their time with mortal trifles, such as extreme water sports and proffesional partying. Tyler and Michael found one another at a Karaoke exposition in Little Tokyo. Finding their rhythm and blues stylings complementary they decided to form a band pact. They dabbled in several projects, but nothing seemed to quite fit. Near the end of their rock ropes, they considered throwing in the towel. Luckily for the world, Michael's new roommate, Gerard, happened to be an amazing guitar player. As the stars aligned and the gods did smile, the trio called for an impromptu jam. Shortly thereafter ever person over 55 in the vicinity of the Van Nuys home, died. Van Nuys, was born. They hit the Las Vegas music scene and they haven't looked back. Currently, they're working on a new demo and recording a full length EP.
