The Band With NO HOPE
t'was a cold february afternoon, the kind of day where not even a bucket of chicken and an economy sized tube of vaseline could heat up, the year was 2002.. the day hope was found. (or founded...) Line up :
Darren Ehler Bass Guitar Vocals.
Tyler Goudreau Ryth Guitar Vocals.
Justin Piercy Lead Guitar Back Up vocals.
Steve Crowe Drums Not allowed to sing.
to make a long and boring story short.. Justin, Steve, and Darren had all played together in a previous band called One Short '97 - 00. After One Short disbanded - Justin and Darren joined the work force, while Steve decided to try his luck at the comunity college, this is where he would eventually meet up with punk rock superstar Tyler Goudreau. Over the course of their 3 year education Steve and Tyler had many opportunities to play together. but it wasn't until january 2002 when they would actually play a serious gig.. The serious gig went tlike this... they named the band "11 delicious inches of pink throbbing Ian" and recruited a bassists and a couple other classmates to fill in on the other instruments. and began to learn cover songs.. after 3 or 4 days of rehearsal the band went on stage.
at the campus bar opening for a bigger local act. People liked the band and could easily see that there was musical chemistry between Tyler and Steve.
Immediately Steve began to search out his long lost bandmates Justin and Darren. Mission accomplished.. Everyone was exicited to get playing and work with this new project. The first practice together saw the creation of 3 songs. 1 week later the band would record thier first demo.. the next week the band headlined a show at the campus bar. They havent Slowed down yet...
