The Origin of Kush

It all started with Dave Dufner(Guitar) and Scott Varela(Vocals) in 1996. Not too long after what started out as just several "jam" sessions we realized there was something there. We then added Mike Vandeman(Guitar), Brian Guin(Drums), and Glen Huff(Bass) to our line up. Anger's Mine was born. Mr Matthew Graves (Jr) would go around leveling all our amps till one day he said man guys i'm getting a board to run you all thru. Years later Matt is one of the biggest sound engineers in the area. By 1997 we went Live under the name "Kush". We played with many of the biggest bands that were in the area at the time such as Mispent Youth, Zero Divide, Cyrus Bliss, Stronger than Seven, and Soulmine. We played at the Planet, the Alley, R Bar, Southtown to name a few as well as many outside functions and a few lake parties. Opened for a few of the major venues that came thru Club SS including Kiss Army, Ac/Dc Tribute, and was booked for the Warrant show. Kush had several hundred fans from the local area on our mailing list and had a decent amount of merchandising thru shirts and so on. Towards the end of 1999 we disbanded for many reasons. Which we all left on great terms and most of us still talk today.

Recently Dave Dufner has recently picked it back up. Kush will bring you the same intense music and live performances as before only on the next level and the music being modernized. We have a lot of networks between the members in this band and well over 20 years of combined live experience.
