american destitution

We're 3 proud Americans, and like many of our fellow Americans, we're usually broke as a joke. This idea sprung to us early in the summer of 2005, where Andy, Drew, and I were jamming in a friends warehouse a few nights a week. We eventually started crashing a local open mic at the Fairbanks Tavern here and there on Monday nights, and suddenly found ourselves getting support from many of the locals there. After months of honing our sound at the Tavern, We played our first real show July 4th, 2005 at an outdoor party on Lake Cane near Turkey Lake Road. We followed that up by entering the Emergenza Battle Of The Bands at Backbooth, making it to the second round before getting edged out by our friends, 'Our Divided Fortune', who also occasionally attended that same open mic.

After that contest, things really seemed to get going for us, but things can change quickly. Andy and Drew were forced to move out of Winter Park for remodeling reasons, and working with other musicians put a hold on the band for about eight months, thus losing much of the steam we had built up locally.

So we're back to square one, moving forward ahead again. We're currently in the studio recording our demo, and eventual debut album. All the while gigging as much as we can around Orlando, and have since played at Lake Mary Pub, The Peacock Room, and the Scoreboard Grill, amongst others. We've been fortunate enough to share the stage with great bands like Jeanie and the Tits, Lost Soul Tribe, Lybian Hit Squad, Moral Decline, and the Angst to name a few. We equally share the "anywhere, anytime" philosophy when it comes to gigs, and beer is always a welcome form of payment! So come one, come all, and be ready for a footstompin', beer drinkin, head bangin slap in the face!

We're currently looking to book anywhere in the Orlando and Lakeland areas.
