Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
good question. It all started when james said, " lets start a band" or something like that... I, ben, came over to james' basement one day with my squier bullet series guitar and a 15 watt amp. James played the drums (short sentence). Cory joined us for the next practice. As he walked down the stairs, he was introduced to the only song we could play, When I Come Around, by Green Day. And it probably wasn't even the whole song. Moving on, Carol soon joined the band. We were all there, Carol, Cory, James, and Ben. James conveniently sold his drumset.. to buy a sitar which he never did. Last week, however, he did buy a stand up bass. we played some shows, 1.5 to be exact.... and ......
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We very rarely play live. Stay tuned for future dates posted on our official site!
