In Shining Armor
Greetings! We are In Shining Armor. We're a little rock band from Kennewick, WA who's just trying to get people interested in what we do. We're sure you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance. Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out our website at http://www.in-shining-armor.com. Seeya!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In Shining Armor was formed in the fall of 2003 when the band Aaron and Trent were in just prior caved in on itself. Rather than get upset about it, we snagged Nick to play bass, became a three piece, and changed our moniker. And here we stand before you.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
When we play, we usually play at 3-2-1 in downtown Kennewick, WA. We've played there more than any other band, and are good friends with the owner. Otherwise, we'll be trying to get shows at Ray's Golden Lion in Richland, WA, and various other locations around the Northwest when time allows.
