Band Members:
GUITAR & VOCALS- GARETH DYKE............... Musical performance has always been apart of Gareth's life. His parents made him take piano and violin lessons, but it was when he picked up the six string that everything clicked and fell into place. Playing "1st Chair" by day and "Lead Guitar" by night, Gareth was a Jeckle and Hyde with Black Sabbath and Beethoven. This musical diversity has come through with his complex and mature songwriting. After living in Germany, England and now the U.S, Gareth is focused and already to write his page in musical history.DRUMS- ADAM TROUGHEAR.................. As a kid growing up in the touring industry in Australia, Adam's Tonka Trucks were PA's and backlines. He completed most of elementary school via correspondence because him and his mother were almost always on the road touring. It was on the U2 "Love Comes To Town Tour" at the Sydney Entertainment Center where Adam sat down behind his first drum set. When Adam got back home he had his very own drum set and was taking lessons thanks to the behest of U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. Since then he has never put the sticks down. For well over a decade now Adam has studied all different kinds of percussion, styles of playing, composition, music production and audio. After moving to the U.S and playing with numerous artists and bands he made his way up in the touring industry. Adam worked for the 80's group Air Supply for 4 years working his way up to Tour Manager. What fuels his passion now is that after touring the world and making sure that "the show goes on" its now about making sure his own show starts.
