Chris Mess

It all started in 2004. I received a demo of fast-paced song from Chris (which would be named "The Cable Song"). I liked what I heard, and I was soon recording the song with Chris in his basement. I guess Chris liked what he heard, as he invited me back to play on another song. Then we started playing gigs around Seattle.

 

For those first live shows, it was Chris (guitar, vocals), Sam (bass), and me. Later Steve joined us on bass, with Chris still playing and singing. Then Chris got the crazy idea that a full-time guitar player might allow the band to rock even harder (so he could also concentrate on singing), and we welcomed Brooks into the fold. And it was good.
