The Lugnuts

Hey, we're The Lugnuts, from Woodinville/Kirkland/Bothell, Washington. We're seniors at Inglemoor High, and we've been playing together for about a year. We are:

Darek Cioch: Vocals/Guitar

Adam Goodwin: Vocals/Guitar

James Ypma: Vocals/Bass

Dan Sito: Vocals/Drums

We've just made a CD, and are interested in playing shows in the Seattle area.

As the story goes, four young men with a common dream of musical greatness banded together in Liverpool, England, and proceeded to take the world by storm, leaving their mark on the very definition of music for all time. They became known as The Beatles.

Forty-six years later, four other men formed a band in Dan Sito's garage near Woodinville, Washington. They call themselves The Lugnuts, and they know that international sucess is only a stroke of luck and a couple good haircuts away.

We do play live. We are a fairly new band, and we've played four shows, the biggest being at the Kirkland Teen Center. We love playing live, and we take the opportunity to go nuts once we're up on stage. One especially fond memory is when Darek and Adam had an ice cream eating contest during a song.

First and foremost, we love this band from Vancouver BC, called Chinatown. Their stage presence is most phenomenal. Other influences include Silvertide, Kiss, Boston...basically a bunch of rock bands.

We're into crashing guitars, booming bass, and thunderous drums, as well as piercing vocals.

For guitars, we use the lovely Gibson Les Paul, Harmony, and Lotus brands

Amps: Darek uses a Marshall AVT50, and Adam's got a Crate

Drums: Dan's got a mixture of stuff, Pacific heads, Pearl pedals and cymbals...I'll ask him later.
