We all write songs and usually sing our own songs. Most of the time we collaborate on the writing of songs and music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Myself (Allen) and Burl have a history which dates back to childhood. We have known each other since we were 5 or 6 years old. Dave and Burl have known each other for at least 17 years that I know of, but we all started playing together in the early 90's. After a couple of singers and a rythm guitarist or two, just the three of us decided to try it. Of course , as all bands do we eventually parted ways and lost touch with each other until recently. We decided to play again after 16 years of nothing, and HERE WE ARE!!!!! Hope for a better outcome this time around.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We havent played live in a long, long time, like about 16 years. We all really enjoy live shows, and actually have a private party scheduled to play soon.
Your musical influences
Between the 3 of us, we have so many different influences. We all like to play heavy bluesy music with a lot of modern guitar licks. CCR is a big influence. Some of us like the heavier stuff such as G-N-R, Metallica, Van Halen, Ozzy and alot of the heavy music from the 70's and 80's.
What equipment do you use?
IBANEZ Guitars and SCHECTER Bass. PEARL drums, and most of ous stage setup is PEAVEY. Our recording equiptment is MACKIE Recording software
