Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The history of "Alas, Poor Yorick" goes back about seven years ('97-'98). It started as a collaboration between the Joslin Bros., Todd and Eric, and Todd's high school friend, Tim Von Cloedt. Eric was orignally going to play bass guitar, Todd was going to be rhythm guitar, and Tim was going to be lead guitar. After a few changes were made, the had all settled on a different line-up. Eric-lead guitar, Todd-bass guitar, Tim-rhythm guitar, and a couple different drummers. Highs school passed, college came, the band was on short hiatus. While at college Eric met Greg Kettinger, who was also a musician. The the band regrouped, Tim & Eric were still on guitar, but now Greg was on bass guitar, and Todd has become proficient as a drummer. Which is how the lie-up is to this day.
