In march of 2002, Alex(GK) was in a band with Nick McMahon and Josh Young, called "Rise of the Fallen". Jay(CKB) met Josh on the middleboro bus to his school, he had just moved. They discussed music occasionally and one day the thought was brought up that the Cardinal played bass. Rise of the Fallen was in need of a bassist so CKB and Josh worked out a plan for a practice that weekend, where Jay met Alex and Nick. That summer, Jay and Alex were constantly with each other. As best friends, they roamed middleboro, looking for adventure and different ways to get high. Late that summer, German Kid was taken away to South Boston for an extended period of time. When he returned, Jay and Alex started writing songs because they wanted to play, but they had no material that they both knew and at that point, Jay had switched his main instrument to drums. Then, Josh came around with a kid that Jay had known since his freshman year in high school, Mike Dickinson(NEP). Jay and Mike never really got along, in fact Mike used to pick on Jay for his rediculously large afro. Jay and Mike became friends under the pretenses that they had drugs in common. Unfortunately, once again, after a few songs were written, Alex was taken away again. Mike played drums, but saw Jay as a much better drummer, so he resided to singing, just to be in a band. At this point, Jay and Mike wanted to be in a band so bad that they played with Josh a few times, Jay putting the original band with Alex, who wasnt there, aside. Nothing managed to work out until Alex came back, which was the original line-up of NIGHTSHIFT! We even included Josh, but he tried to take over the whole band, so he was kicked out. We've also tried out a few bassists but are still looking. On March 30, 2003, Jay and Alex played their first show as Nightshift 1942 at a blues club in Quincy. Surrounded by blues fans and blues artists, their music was well appreciated.Have you performed in front of an audience?We play shows here and there, whenever someone offers us or when we set one up. we will play live just about anywhere within reasonable distances... we wont play in Tennessee or Arizona... not just yet at least...
