Let's face it, no one can do anything alone, even the Beatles had four members! It's time to meet the evil geniuses. Quick Disclaimer: The band is not fully formed yet. Either because our people do not have instruments or because I have failed to acquire a picture and biography for each member. The core members as of now are Adam, Rachelle, and Kirsten.
And no, our tour bus does not look like this.
Rachelle was born in Southern California in late 1992. She is the second youngest of the band, next to Brandon. Originally she was inspired by her ex-girlfriend into taking up music, having had previous enthusiasm for anime-esque music. She later turned to bands such as My Chemical Romance, however her major influence was Weird Al Yankovic because she enjoyed his eccentric performing style. She is musically affluent in many different intruments including but not limited to: the acordian, the guitar, piano, and keyboard. When she's not jamming with friends she spends most of her time playing video games or designing costumes for that years' anime expo.
Born in Long Beach, California right before the Los Angeles Street riots in '92, Kirsten has had a profound interest in music since she first heard Linkin Park's In the end back in 1999. Regrettably, she had to push through the Britney Spears, N'Sync, and Backstreet Boys era, but that would eventually pass over as she moved on to more talented artists. Her father, a music collector dating back to the early 1960s constantly played old Beatles and Pink Floyd records for her when she was young, already sparking her interest in rock music. It would take a few years before she would be motivated enough to play the guitar. She asked for her first guitar for Christmas when she was 12, and though she got a very nice nylon string guitar, she never played it due to her rising obsession with World of Warcraft but mostly because, as she puts it: "It wasn't loud enough". After turning 15, her sister bought her an Epiphone Les Paul and amplifyer, to which she took to practicing almost every day despite parental admonitions. Her first inspirations were covering songs by Linkin Park and Three Days Grace and will continue to challenge herself with Metallica songs. After meeting Rachelle in an English II Accelerated course, the two immediately connected, and it was decided that despite Rachelle's experience Kirsten would take over the role as lead guitarist. Still, she is the only person in the group really technologically inclined and is the one building this website =D.
Born and raised in Central california, Cody attended Paso Robles High School which he finished in 2006. He was introduced to Kirsten through other friends, particularly his friend John Dennahower, who knew Kirsten through his brother's girlfriend. The two talked and frequently played World of Warcraft online before Kirsten was aware of his musical influence. His biggest influene by far is mostly heavy and death metal, particularly the band Iron Maiden. Though he has a background in guitars he prefers to play bass guitars because he "Can't stand chords, I like whipping out the epic riffs Iron Maiden comes up with. Sometime in the tour we shall cover Iron Maiden's song: Hallowed be thy name"
Brandon grew up in the greater Orange County area.He grew up watching MTV a lot. He noticed that most of the music at the time was actually pretty good. But he was a kid watching lights and sounds on a screen, and so he really wasn't that into music. After he stopped watching, most of his tastes were more of indie (ex. Modest Mouse). Float On was really the first song he listened to over and over and over again.After that his life had pretty much nothing to do with music (this was around middle school). He dropped out of orchestra, because, he says:" well... fuck orchestra." And he really stopped listening to any music in particular untill around freshman year where he met up with his old best friend he had lost contact with years ago. While Underneath the Gun was playing the crowd was pretty wild; it was fun as fuck. People hardcore dancing, pushing, ect. Except there was this fat ass black guy there who was being an asshole. According to the locals he wasn't part of the area and didn't come there that often. But this wasn't like a concert concert, this was a venue." He started going on music sites, ect. Being in a lot of forums really gave him insight to all types of music; a lot of underground stuff. Anyone who is obsessed with music usually likes one of two genres: of course; indie; and metal. He actually learned how to play the drums, is actually from a video game, a Japanese game called Drummania. He became so adept at the game, he very quickly became interested in playing the drums. Shortly after meeting Rachelle, and later Kirsten, the two incorporated Brandon into the band.
