About Me

Written by Dave
In the summer of 2005, Nic (guitar) and I (drums) as well as two other artists (one guitarist and one bassist) created the band for the first time. (The name has changed more times than i can count so we'll call it "the band"). Nic and I immidiately began composing songs but when the band couldnt be a priority for the other two artists, we found ourselves alone and wondering what to do next.
The school year of 2005-2006 brought in a new bassist to the band. While he added style and musical knowledge to all of our songs, we managed to play a few gigs but without a singer we couldnt get very far. We played and wrote songs as we struggled to find a singer but... no good.
SKIP A COUPLE YEARS (yes, i said years)
So April of 2008 comes and some more problems! The band isnt working well together cuz Nic and I want some serious buisness with the band and that means some hard work. Again, another band member gone and Nic and I look at eachother and say "huh....". Yea, not looking good now is it? BUT at least we havn't changed our band name in a year!! WOO!
And here we are, summer of 2008. We just took our newest member into the band, Jacob (rhythm guitar & vocals) so things are looking up for us! I've just recently taken the liberty of calling myself a vocalist so now we almost have a full band! Over 20 covers nearly perfected plus 15 originals, we're doing alright. Now were on the lookout for a bassist and a a whole lot of gigs cuz damnit it's been too long!

Let's start with a quote from AC/DC's Brian Johnson, "Let there be sound, and there was sound.. Let there be light, and there was light.. Let there be drums, and there was drums.. Let there be guitars...
