Just like every band, there is a beginning. Ours is no different.
Starting in high school, I was in a band with Brian (our drummer) called Trip 16. We had a minor (minor being the main word) following in the Service High School area. After a long time with the band, Brian, the other guitar player, and I, split Trip 16 to start a new band (the split up was a long story, and i'm not going to explain it). After tensions in the new band began to mount, John (the other guitar player) was kicked out. Brian and I needed a new guitar player, so I asked people around school. My skater friend Will, told me about his friend Chas, who played guitar and was into punk music. After some talk, Chas came over to my house to practice. We liked the same songs, the same way songs should be played, lyrics, etc. etc. etc. We soon practiced with Brian. We soon played our first show at Service. It was an opening for the band Lancaster, a metal-type band (you can't quite explain it). The show was alright, not spectacular. Brian left the band recently, so our friend Alex came in on drums. |
