Band/artist history
August 1998, not yet in high school, Floyd and Pinckney began filling their once quiet neighborhood in mid-Michigan, with sounds of distorted guitar riffs and raw metal drum beats. This half band became whole when Baker and brother Nick filled the positions of vocals and bass. They quickly began covering their favorite classics, and anything else that seemed a challenge. Original material was soon to follow, and by July of 2000, they had opened for their first national act at Harpo's Concert Theatre, in Detroit Rock City, a Mecca for metal bands in the mid-west. After four years together, they had established a distinct sound and style, but had grown stale. They’d reached a creative plateau, and felt they weren’t progressing as well as they could have been. Change was imminent, the band felt relocation might lead to new inspiration, and help rekindle a smoldering torch. After years of Michigan winters, the sunny beaches of Florida led Baker, Floyd, and Pinckney to Jacksonville in November of 2002. This left them an incomplete band in a strange new town. After dozens of seemingly hopeless tryouts, Millican proved to be exactly what they were looking for. With the line-up complete, Millican’s influence added the boost that was needed to begin evolving once again. Like an explosion, they were spitting out new songs, almost by accident. Early November 2003, Bloodletting moved their newly remodeled and finely tuned band, back to their hometown of Potterville, MI. With a hand-full of new songs, and a few modified local favorites, the production of their independent debut release: Practical Medication, is currently underway.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Harpo's, Detroit, Machine Shop, all over Michigan, Ohio, and even some in Florida, although we don't talk about that much. Fred Durst RUINED THE JACKSONVILLE SCENE. You bastard, you killed Kenny.
Your musical influences
MudVayne, 40 Below Summer, Coal Chamber, Il Nino, Soul Fly, Slipknot
What equipment do you use?
junk. I think one of the vocal mics is an AKG, umm, the drumset is to big to get into, its a black Pearl Export with tons of toys on it, the guitar stack is a Randall solid state with a Hugh's & Ketner cab w/ 4 Greenback 12's in it. The bassist uses a Peavy TNT combo.
Anything else?
send money or something.
