(From Dustin) The idea of making the name for The Bendy Straws came form a girl named Bailey Irwin. Me, Bailey, and Ben Resto got together and played Monster (by Skillet). After that, we broke up as a band, and I later went to Joe and Tim with my idea of forming a band. He backed up my idea and The Bendy Straws were born. We took on the name because it was unusual and different. Two weeks and one practice later, we played our first concert at a redneck wedding, but we didn't even know that it was a wedding to start with. We got on stage and our hearts were pounding, I looked at Joe, and we shook our heads and played Monster, Animals, and finally we ended it with a song we wrote, Hell From Above. The same night, we were approched by people at the party who were wanting to promote us, and after that, Bailey dropped the band and we went to Alana Masters and asked her to join, and before I could finish asking, she said yes. Later, due to many mistakes, she had to leave, so we then added Darian Silvers and Jill Orr, but it was not to last. Darian later dropped and we lost contact with Jill, and so the band was in a stuggle to survive, but then Dillon came along and we were back on track. Now with vocals, drums, guitars, and Hell's fire, we are rockin out, and as time goes on I will add more but now we are preparing for the rush and looking for gigs.
