Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We formed in August of 2003. Poindexter was originally the drums, with Kevin and another guitarist as the guitars. However, when the other guitarist didn't show for practices, Kevin and Poindexter kicked him out. With the search for a bassist still on, Poindexter made the switch to bass and the band picked up Joe as the drummer. The band soon made their website and began working on original material. In early February 2004, Poindexter fell ill. After a surgery and 3 months of rehab, the band was back. They did have a few select doctor approved practices (short and watched over). The band also reached over 1000 hits on their homepage and recieved wind of a possible recording time. With the recording time still up in the air, the band acquired Eric Phillips, a vocalist, and Josh Ruberg, a good guitarist.
TRIGGER finger is currently working on an album to be named "The Chronicles of an Empty Shell".
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes. And hopefully we will be booking a tour around Cincinnati and the tri-state area.
