IT ALL STARTED THE LATE-WINTER 0F 2004, WHEN A MULTI-TALENTED DRUMMER/GUITARIST FROM VA. MEET A FORMER 18TH AIRBORNE CPS. PARATROOPER ANYWAYTHEY BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT MUSIC&MAKING MUSIC, BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING! THEN THEY CAME ACROSS THIS COOL, CAT FROM THE DA BURGH, PITTSBURGH,PA. WHO HAPPEN TO PLAY BASS AND SOON ENOUGH JAM SESSIONS TURNED INTO SONGS. THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS THE GUYS SPENT MOST OF THEIR TIME WRITING SONGS AND TURNING IDEAS INTO SONGS. SUMMER OF 2005 THEY DECIDED TO TEST THE WATERS AND ENTERED A BATTLE OF THE BANDS HOSTED BY THE BLAKE CALLINS TRIO AT THE CHROME BAR&GRILL IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. THE THREE PIECE OF DRUMS , BASS & POWERFUL LYRICS WAS ALL THE GUYS NEEDED TO REPRESENT. FALL OF 2005 WAKE PERFORMED AT THE ROCK4RAINN BENEFIT ALSO AT THE CHROME BAR & GRILL. NOW WITH A LITTLE BUZZ IN TOWN ABOUT THIS NEW HIP HOP BAND THE FELLAS BEGAN TO HIT UP OPEN MICS ALL ACROSS TOWN. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF PERFECTING THEIR SOUND AT OPEN MICS. WAKE STARTED TO BOOK SHOWS IN CHARLOTTE, WINSTON, AND FAYETTEVILLE SPOTS SUCH AS JOHN J'S, FUSION, THE SK NET CAFE, THE DOGHOUSE, HUSKEHARDWARE, AND THE BIG APPLE......MONTHS LATER, THEY HEARD ABOUT THE ARTS & SOULS FESTIVAL BATTLE OF THE BANDS IN CHARLOTTE. THE GUYS WASTED NO TIME TO ENTER THE TWO DAY EVENT WHICH WAS HOSTED BY CREATIVE LOAFING.

DAY ONE WAKE PERFORMED AFTER THE THREE POINT SHOOTOUT. DAY TWO WAS THE DUNK CONTEST AND CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. FOLLOWED BY A PERFORMANCE BY DOUG E FRESH, AND PMD(BIG UP TO THE HIT SQUAD)
THEN WAKE DECIMATED THE STAGE AND LEFT THE CROWD SPEECHLESS. THE NEXT TWO MONTHS WAKE CONTINUED ON THEIR PATH AND JOINED A LIST OF NINE GREAT BANDS FOR THE FIRST EVER HUSKEFEST06 AT THE HUSKE HARDWARE IN DOWNTOWN FAYETTEVILLE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THEY PERFORMED AT THE BLUES,BREWS&BBQ FESTIVAL IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTE.(HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, FROM STUDENTS TO ADULTS AND KIDS ALL JAMMED ALONG TO THE FELLAS PERFORMANCE, AS BOTH wAKe AND THE CROWD SHARED A LAUGH YELLING THE HOOK TO CHUCK08...IF I WAS CHUCK NORRIS...
