A Wild Ride collided with 2 guys from Kicking Jimmies at My Funeral who formed an Alliance and became Never Was....
HAILING FROM DEL RIO TEXAS, A SMALL BORDER TOWN WITH A POPULATION OF 30,OOO PEOPLE COMES A CREATIVE ROCK BAND WITH A LOT TO OFFER TO THE TEXAS MUSIC SCENE. NEVER WAS…CONSISTS OF A GROUP OF FIVE GUYS THAT BRING SONGS THAT CAPTURE THE UNDIVIDED ATTENTION OF EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THEM.
NEVER WAS… WAS FORMED IN THE FALL OF 2007 WITH THE INTENTIONS OF WRITING ORIGINAL, CATCHY AND MEMORABLE ROCK SONGS.
THE MEMBERS OF NEVER WAS… ARE NO STRANGERS TO THE TEXAS MUSIC SCENE. DRUMMER SCOTT NEBLE PLAYED IN AN ORIGINAL TEXAS COUNTRY BAND NAMED WILD RIDE. WILD RIDE PLAYED NUMEROUS GIGS ALL AROUND TEXAS AND MEXICO AND IS FEATURED IN TWO STUDIO RECORDINGS WITH THEM. LEAD GUITARIST JOHN MARTINEZ WAS PREVIOUSLY IN THE HEAVY METAL BAND –MY FUNERAL. MY FUNERAL ALSO PLAYED GIGS ALL AROUND TEXAS IN THE 90’S AT SUCH PLACES AS THE BACK ROOM IN AUSTIN, THE WHITE RABBIT IN SAN ANTONIO, MIDLAND, ODESSA, CORPUS, DALLAS AND NUMEROUS OTHER PLACES. MY FUNERAL HAD RECORDED THREE TIMES BEFORE IT DISBANDED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. GUITARIST BO HOLLOWAY HAS BEEN IN THE TEXAS MUSIC SCENE FOR QUITE SOME TIME ALSO. BO PLAYED WITH THE TEXAS COUNTY BAND – BORDERLINE AND A ROCK AND ROLL COVER BAND –KICKING JIMMIES. BOTH BORDERLINE AND KICKIN JIMMIES PLAYED NUMEROUS GIGS IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF DEL RIO AND ALL AROUND TEXAS. SINGER, GUITAR PLAYER AND SONGWRITER PETE HERRERRA WAS IN AN ORIGINAL PROGRESSIVE ORIGINAL ROCK BAND FROM DEL RIO NAMED ALLIANCE. ALLIANCE WAS A BAND THAT MADE A LOT OF FANS IN THE DEL RIO AREA DURING THEIR SHORT LIVED TENURE. BASS PLAYER DARRELL SHADWICK ALSO PLAYED IN THE BAND – KICKING JIMMIES WITH BO HOLLOWAY PRIOR TO THE FORMATION OF NEVER WAS…
TOGETHER, ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF NEVER WAS… BRING A REFRESHING TRUE ROCK SOUND THAT CANNOT BE COMPARED TO ANY OTHER BAND. EVERY SONG THAT NEVER WAS… WRITES IS INDEPENDENT. NO TWO OF THEIR SONGS SOUND ALIKE…UNLIKE MOST BANDS WHOSE SONGS ALL SOUND ALIKE, NEVER WAS… SEEMS TO BREAK ALL THE RULES OF SONG WRITING WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE ADDICTIVE HOOKS OF THEIR SONGS. MOST OF NEVER WAS’… MUSIC HAS BEEN PRAISED BY THE MOST COUNTRY TO THE MOST HARD ROCKING AUDIENCES.
NEVER WAS…HAS PLAYED SHOWS IN DEL RIO AND MEXICO AND IS PREPARING TO EXPAND THEIR PLAYING AREA TO ALL AROUND TEXAS. NEVER WAS... NEVER FAILS TO PACK THE HOUSE AT EACH HIGH-ENERGY, EMOTIONAL AND COMPELLING LIVE SHOW. NEVER WAS… GAINS NEW FANS AT EVERY LIVE SHOW THEY PLAY.
WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW SELF TITLED TWELVE SONG CD, NEVER WAS…IS SURE TO MAKE A LASTING IMPRESSION ON THE TEXAS MUSIC SCENE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
well he is black! we can always spray paint a red gun on his back, pierce his ears and get a spiked colar for him. Lets just hope she dont try to teach him to sing barfly. lmao
