Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The Arson Committee was founded in 2004 by drummer Scott Blair (Scotty B) and guitarist Tim Nash (Wonderbread, Fat Camp). Creating crappy demos in Tim's basement, they realized that they might need some other members to round out their lineup. So in came Vocalist/Guitarist Nick Hutchins (Hutch), and bassist Alex Auer (Honkey). They have one demo release thus far and are currently preparing to go into the studio.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, we play live shows. Mainly in the Bloomington/Normal Area in Illinois, but we are starting to expand to Chicago Suburbs, Urbana/Champaign, Odell. We love playing live shows and if anyone would like us to play anywhere we totally would. a special moment for us was winning the 2007 Bloomington Parks & Rec Battle of the Bands, and being featured on the 96.7 I-Rock Local Music Showcase.
