Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Back in the year 2001, freshmen Peter Meyer and Alan Gephart were introduced to eachother for the first time. They shared a passion for many things, and ironically music was one of them. Alan had been playing bass for several years and Peter had been playing guitar since he was a fetus. So they soon started jamming together. Peter had a little brother named Ben and every day he would come downstairs to Peter and Alan's music and beg them to let him play along. "Pleeeeaaaaseee," he would beg, until one day they gave in and let him doodle around on the drums while they busted out some mean riffs. They formed a band of three members and came up with the genius name of "A.D.D. Face" which they were very proud of and wrote in permanent marker on absolutely everything they could get a hold of. But still... something was missing...
A year or so went by, and Peter decided he wanted to learn how to drive so he took an educational course on it offered locally. While he was there he met an albino guitar goon named Kyle Novy. They hit it off right away and before anyone could blink an eye he joined the A.D.D. Face wagon making it an all-out four person work of musical art. Kyle brought a newly developed sense of organization to the band and they actually started writing some songs. Things got going, a public appearance at a local talent show was made, and things got serious. In the midst of it all, they decided to utilize Ben's talent on the piano and have him play keyboard in some of the songs. Peter jumped at the opportunity to beat the rhythm out on the songs where Ben would play keys.
The day came where Kyle said to the other mates, "Guys, its time to get serious. Rock." And the decision was made to drop the creative orgasm of a title "A.D.D. Face" and change their name to something slightly more credible... even if not easily pronounced...
and Aud Fauce was born.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
