Zeke and I met in elementary school in about grade 3, and we started to hang out together in junior high. Zeke spent a lot of his teenage years in the drum core, cutting his chops in the marching and jazz bands. After high school, they lost touch for a few years until, at the age of 21, I showed up at an audition for the band Intensive Care. That band lasted about a year until it's implosion.
Then the family thing happened. Jamming and playing in a few bands to keep up his playing, Zeke and I kept running into each other in seven year cycles. Finally, along came an original project called Leather Messiah (not our idea) that we dedicated a little over a year to. That's where they met the incomparable Rev Leather. Once that band had split, we tried to carry on with Rev, but couldn't find a decent guitar player.
After a few months, Zeke met Shayne through the local Buy And Sell. They jammed once or twice in Zeke's living room until they got bored. Zeke phoned me up and we all started jamming. It's difficult to believe it's been about 6 years already and it's still fun!
