Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band was formed in 1998 by Billy Leger (lead vocals & guitar) Tim Dibartolo (Bass & Guitar) and Dennis Dupuis (drums). After a few audition they brought in Teddy Harper (bassist), and soon after Brian Fruge (lead guitar & vocals). But after recording the CD and playing a few gigs the line up was changed to the current members.
The band has completed their second CD and hope to have it out by January 2000.
Billy Leger is the primary song writer for the band. Raised in southwest louisiana he has been playing the local seen since 1985. The 90's brought his first original band, The Bootleggers with Kenny Wanamaker (guitar & bass), David Foreman (guitar, bass, & drums), and Billy (bass & drums), this was a kick ass band and a great start for billy's song writing. Other bands he has played in include Titan, Southern Force, Danger Zone, and Triple Force with Dennis Dupuis and Tim Dabartlo (guitar & bass).
