Peninsula Bands: Peninsula Bands was started in 2003 at Mount Erin Secondary College by Jamie Wall

                                            as a project in Web Page Authoring. It started off as being a Gig Guide, showing people where, and

                                            when Gigs were happening around the Peninsula.
                                            The website was pretty crappy, as Jamie didnt know much about Websites, so thats where i came

                                            in. I know i'm crap at making Websites as well, but i think you could even ask him and he would say

                                            that mine are at least are bit better.
                                            I guess you could say i 'employed' Terry i think it was late May/early June, as we needed someone

                                            who was a good writer. He did a couple of Interviews with some Band members and a couple of

                                            reviews and i really like what he could do, and he has been in it from there.
                                            So the site continued to be a Local Gig Guide all the way up until June 2004. Jamie finally got the

                                            idea that we would start holding our own shows, and without telling me emailed Toby from the 21st

                                            Century about having them in the Pelly Bar. Surprisingly, one day i logged into my account and there

                                            was an email back from Toby saying we could hold it there, he just wanted more details.
                                            So suddenly Jamie and I scurried around and came together with 6 of the Peninsula's finest Bands;

                                            X25, Singleton, Filmore, Shooting Blanks, Famous By Association, and the ever-loved Left Right Out.
                                            We held our first show on the 30th of June 2004 at the Pelly Bar and it was a HUGE success. The

                                            bands all played absolutely unreal, the timing was perfect, and everyone was happy.
                                            The next night i received an email back from Toby saying what a huge success the show was and

                                            what-not, and he asked us to come in for a meeting with some people from different companies that

                                            help out the community, so we could put on regular shows at the 21st. What a thrill.

                                            Our main objective in this whole thing is to let the fan base of our Local Bands grow in the Mornington

                                            Peninsula, and then the word of mouth would spread from person to person about how good these Bands

                                            are, and then eventually we 'hope' we will be getting demands for shows in Melbourne, and then grow

                                            further and further until these Bands are the real thing. Basically we just want to help our friends do

                                            what they do best and get somewhere in this new, evolved musical world.
