	Bio
Nick – Drums (Vocals when no one can hear me….i hope…) I would like to say thank you to Michael Berry and Mr. Glen Nitta for all the advie, teachings, and help you have given me. Also, thanks Mom and Dad for, well, everything. I wouldnt be the musician i am without you guys, so, thanks. My favorite bands are Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Dispatch, Sublime, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World, Wilco and Stroke 9. My hobbies, better yet, my love, is making “rock-and-or-roll” music. To me, nothing in life compares to jamming with my brothers (Dave, Jerrod, and Hunter are family to me, by blood or not.) You’ll find me in my best mood coming out of a two-and-a-half-hour jam session. Hope you enjoy the music. Hunter – I would like to start by saying that i never would have started writing songs seriously if it wasnt for my wonderful girlfriend who forced me to record and write more. I’ve been playing guitar since December ’99. I was introduced how to play by Eric Yetsko and taught how to thrash by the legendary John Giuffre. He forced the 12 bar blues on me so much that i would dream about it. I think that it was this influence that has driven this band to create an “alternative”, “indie” rock sound with the classic rock vibe. If that makes no sense to you, just ignore it, sit back, and enjoy the tunes. Dave – My teacher is Hunter Nakazono, enough said. A lot of people ask me, “Why do you play the guitar?” and the truth of it is, I dont play the guitar for the status, I dont play it for the girls, I play because when I do I feel free, I don’t have to play anything or I can play everything, it can be simple, or complex, a series of chords, or just incoherent noise. I love music dude (thank you robert). Jerrod – Yo. I’m doing my best to supplement the bass portion of this fine gathering of sound. I’ve never actually taken formal bass lessons, but my musical style and preferences are mostly influenced by my teachers. My piano teacher, Justin Adams, is probably the most incredible musician I’ve ever heard. My other teacher, Hunter Nakazono, is, well, see above. I’m extremely privileged to be able to play with people who are not only talented, but also my best friends. Rock on.
