Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
After The Rain was originally formed in Boulder, CO by Tom Zukowski(bass) and David Bergner (guitar) during the summer of 2003. They had played together in their high school jazz band and discovered that they shared many similar musical interests and ideas. After jamming a few times in and out of class, they decided that during that summer ('03), they were going to write an entire album. A couple weeks into summer, they got together and started writing fueled by an incredible creative chemistry. So excited by the material they were writing, they decided to find a drummer and record their songs. Recruiting another fellow jazz bander from their highschool, they used a 10 track digital recorder to record the album themselves. With a bunch of new songs and a record, they booked a show at a local studio to promote the record. The show went wonderfully and the band was very well received. Three days later Tom left for college in LA at USC. Once David graduated, he went to Occidental college in LA. Immediately, Tom and David started writing again. After writing an entire album's worth of solid material, they were lucking enough to find a drummer at Occidental named Patrick Egan. Now that the band is complete, the band is starting to play local shows any time they can.
