In late '96, Cory, Aly and I were living at his mom's house, and for a month we thought we all had mono so we just slept most of the day, smoked a lot of pot and wrote songs on his roof. An aquaintance of ours, Abe Millet, wanted to play drums for us and our friend Mike joined as well to help us start being a real band, and we wrote what became Error 1 and Junkyard with him. We got a set down and had our first gig, which Abe decided wasn't important enough to show up to, and we were pissed and disgruntled and otherwise perturbed.
I went to CCSN to study music when Cory, Aly and I one day decided to forget the bozos and find a new drummer. I called Sebbie, the next day we showed up at his house and I dropped out of college and we didn't leave for about a year as the band came together. His parents basically adopted us and supported everything we did 100%, and they will be canonized soon in the Church of Ian. Mike re-joined soon, and we created our own reality in Seb's garage as we practiced and consumed mass quantities of psychedelic drugs.
Late '97 we met Matt, who came to our first gig at Swag on Fremont street, and hung around and played bass like a motherfucker, so we added him and had 2 bass players. Early '98 we recorded 5 songs, some are on here, with all 6 of us. Soon afterwards Aly had a falling out with us and went to begin the illustrious music career she has now. We played a few more gigs, the last being "Pahrumpstock" (yes, laugh, it's funny) in summer '98, and then fizzled out.
Seb is still drumming, now for Die Game, a bad-ass power punk trio of death and destruction.
Cory and Matt currently are playing switched roles, Cory on bass and Matt on guitar, with Sick of Hate, and they are damn good.
Aly went on to play in what seemed like a different band every year, currently I believe (don't quote me on this) Jaz and the Notes and drumming for Jacob Smigel.
Mike became an architect-supervisor-thingy, bought a house, then fell off the planet.
I'm doing very well, thank you, and I did this to preserve what was the happiest time of my life. I hope you like it.
