About Me

A History of Hallucen

Awhile back in November of 2007, Andrew Rauch (bassist) and Ben Greenberg (guitarist), began casual jam sessions. Sometime in December, they decided that they should take this jamming thing a bit more seriously and form a band. Andrew got the school directory and started looking for guitarists, when the idea of inviting Joel Ruhlman into the band popped into their heads. For a while, the three jammed and just clicked. It was settled, Joel was the new rhythm guitarist. Next month, the three decided it was time to look for a drummer. Matt Keegan (now of Liquid Peace Revolution) was considered, but was crossed of the list due to being in another band at the time (the now inactive Wild Licks). The second suggestion was Kevin Mesa, Ben's friend and hockey teammate. Kevin was a bit skeptical about joining, but was soon persuaded to give it a shot. He showed up to practice, and the four clicked. It was settled, Kevin was the drummer. Soon they began looking for a singer, and Sean Moore was chosen. The band, then known as No Pun Intended, played one show. After said show, things started going downhill. Sean left the band due to creative differences, and the band was left without a singer. No Pun Intented disbanded following Sean's departure. In May, the guys started up again, going under the newly decided name: Hallucen. But, they were still left with a void at the vocal spot. After numerous, futile attempts at finding another vocalist, the band decided that Ben would take the lead vocal duties, and he and Joel would share solos. Everything was steady for awhile, and the band had a set just about ready. Just before they started booking shows, Andrew Rauch left the band due to creative differences also. A couple weeks later, the band found Nathan Walker to fill the abscense in the bass position. Hallucen is now booking shows and eager to play. However, in late January, the band decided to call it quits. Maybe we'll come back some day, but for now, Rest in Peace, Hallucen.
