Out Of Spite 1992-1996

OUT OF SPITE WAS STARTED IN REDDING, CA CIRCA 1991/1992 WHEN ERRON ALVEY AND CHAD ALLEN WERE LOOKING TO START A BAND AND ERRON THOUGHT OF GETTING DWAYNE BONEDOG TO PLAY BASS SINCE HE HAD PLAYED BASS FOR SNOT LABELED, ONE OF REDDING'S VERY FIRST EVER PUNK ROCK BANDS A FEW YEARS EARLIER. CHAD ALLEN WAS ALSO FORMERLY A MEMBER OF THE DEFECTS FROM ANDERSON, CA. WE STARTED JAMMING TOGETHER WITH GUITAR AND BASS BUT WE STILL NEEDED A DRUMMER. WE GOT JASON WOODS(WOODY) TO PLAY DRUMS AND WE WERE NOW OFFICIALLY A BAND. WOODY PLAYED WITH US FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS UNTIL HE STOPPED COMING TO REHEARSALS AND HE QUIT. JASON WOODS NOW PLAYS BASS FOR THE BANDS - LARS FREDRICKSON AND THE BASTARDS AS WELL AS THE U.S. ROUGHNECKS, BOTH ARE ON HELLCAT RECORDS. NEXT WE GOT CHIP TO PLAY DRUMS AND WE ADDED JEFF MERRILL ON 2ND/LEAD GUITAR AND WE STARTED TO PRACTICE CONSTANTLY SOMETIMES 6 TO 7 HOURS A DAY A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK. WE STARTED TO WRITE LOTS OF SONGS AND WE STARTED GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. NOVEMBER OF 1992 WE RECORDED THE OUT OF SPITE - "CANS 0' GASOLINE" 17 SONG DEMO TAPE. THEN WE ADDED DEBBIE O'CONNOR AS 2ND VOLCALIST AND IN JUNE OF 1993 WE RECORDED AND RELEASED THE "CANS O' GASOLINE" 7" E.P. OUT OF SPITE WAS THE VERY FIRST PUNK BAND FROM REDDING TO RELEASE A RECORD. WE WERE ALSO THE VERY FIRST PUNK BAND FROM REDDING TO PLAY IN CALDWELL PARK. AT THE TIME WHEN OUT OF SPITE WAS A BAND, THERE WAS NO PUNK ROCK SCENE WHATSOEVER IN REDDING. THERE WERE NO PUNK ROCK SHOWS IN REDDING WHATSOEVER. WE HAD TO MAKE OUR OWN PLACES TO PLAY, THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PLAY IN REDDING SO WE WENT TO CALDWELL PARK ONE NIGHT CUT THE LOCK ON THE BOX AROUND THE ELECTRICITY BOX, SET UP AND WE PLAYED IN THE PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PLAY SO WE MADE A PLACE TO PLAY. PUNK ROCK. OUT OF SPITE CALLED IT QUITS AFTER BEING A BAND FOR ABOUT 3 1/2 YRS. WE GOT BACK TOGETHER AND PLAYED A REUNION SHOW IN 1997 ON THE SAME STAGE WHERE MY OLD BAND SNOT LABELED HAD PLAYED REDDING'S VERY FIRST EVER PUNK ROCK SHOW TEN YEARS EARLIER.
