Diary

June 30th 2004
Hi all I woke up last night and thought it might be a good idea to start keeping a diary of past news in GND life.
So anyways better late than never!
It is now 2004 we did start in 2002, and the site was started up in 2003.  Rather than talk to much about how it all began because as it goes, its the usual story.  We love music so we got a band together  had a few people changes on the way, and now here we are here!  2004.
The start of this year consisted of our new members joining us! Tim Rozemulder on guitar, Nick Cheek on drums, Dan on bass and still Jon and I doing our thing!
Also I (Deb)  headed to New York City for the month of April and showed them a thing or two about the female Rock Chick's here is OZ!  I was joined by a few lovley Yankie boys!  The Bletterman Brothers on Bass and Drums also Tony Marrone on Percussion!!!  It was the trip of a lifetime!  Now its June, we have a new bass person,  its a girl  her name is Jen Sparkes and she's AWESOME!! SOOOOOOOOOO in closing!
The Girlnextdoor' sound has changed in the past 2 years and I believe its better than ever!!!!
There you have it, a breif  look back at the past and now onto the future of GND!
We will keep this section up to date from now on!
