HIGHLY UNLIKELY

The story of Highly Unlikely is actually a likely story. Hailing from the island of Maui, Hawaii four guys found interest in the same thing... rock music. Starting out as a two-piece band with Andy Quammen on drums and George Gutierrez on guitar, the two played the same sound that they grew up listening to from the punk movement and the early metal of the eighties. But they felt that they needed to incorporate something new and fresh to the band. They asked their friend Ryan Serrano to sing vocals. Still feeling that something was missing, Ryan suggested his high school friend Lewis Upfold to play guitar. Hearing the new guitar sound that Lewis brought to the band, George gladly moved over to bass.Their humble beginnings as a band started during the summer of 2006 in the loft of Andy’s house. The cramped space was less than ideal, but it did set the scene as a great environment to create some original and energetic rock music. Equipped with a broken down drum set, a borrowed guitar amp and a weekly rented bass amp, they were able to develop their first songs. Simple three chord songs were quickly jammed out, but the creativity blossomed quickly and soon they had enough songs under their belt to start playing live shows.During the summer of 2006 Highly Unlikely performed at various clubs and bars across the island and a dedicated fan base was born. This brings the journey to December of 2006 where the band's future was now up in the air after the departure of their co-founding member George having to walk away from the band due to personal reasons. Although they remained without a bass player on Maui for the winter, it allowed time for the band to find a new member, Alex Locke. Alex comes from a family of music and has fit in perfectly with their musical style. He has brought a new fresh sound to the band with his bass and keyboard playing which has added another dimension to Highly Unlikely's sound. Now with the last piece of the Highly Unlikely puzzle in place they hope to create music that people can really relate to and feel. The demo you are listening to was recorded on October 31, 2006, in a span of three hours. From the heavy-guitar driven "Negative Ghost Rider", to the punk influenced "Shipwreck Monday," to the pop/rock friendly sound of "My Head Is Finally in the Game" all of their musical influences are painted across each song. There is no production on this demo, they just want to give their fans a little taste of more to come later this year when they plan to record their debut album. So sit back, relax and enjoy the music.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 To contact Highly Unlikely myspace message or email at [email protected]
