Just Barely formed in early 2006 with founding members Ben, Dan, and Ryan. None of them being a singer, so we brought in JJ as vocals in the summer, bringing their skill to a whole new level. With Ryan being fairly new at drums, and didn't have all the time in the world to learn a new instrument, the band brought in a little bit of help from the little man, Blake Amato. Blake had 8 or so years under his belt with no lessons.
Then they found Ethan Mays who has since joined the band as a vocalist. They are taking the time to slowly work him into their songs and have already begun writing new material with him. The Band played their first show without Ethan, but it shouldn't be too long before we see him out front.
Right now they just want to play shows and start thinking about some decent recordings. In between times they are writing new stuff and sharpening their skills with cover songs from bands such as...
Armor, Blink, Brand New, Finch, Lit, Ratm, and Senses Fail
FRIDAY @ Saddle Creek Bar • 9 PM FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES! (Denver experimental / creep rock) DAMIERA (New York indie / experimental) IamTHEocean (Utah progressive / hardcore) Truth in Ruin (Omaha metal)
SATURDAY @ the ATTIC (33rd & Harney) • 9 PM The FUCKEN SNAKES (Grand Island folk / punk / honky tonk) Watching the Trainwreck (Kearney garage rock / lo-fi / punk) The Zach Heath (Omaha folk / acoustic)
Not a whole lot just vibin and jammin, playin a few shows here and there. We're hoping to record sometime over the summer, but we haven't set anything up yet. How's everything for you guys? How'd the battle go?
A yo Blake and Ryan and the rest of you guys i just wanted to wish you luck 2nite and i sorry i could not go so bring home the top prize what ever that is and please let me know how it turns out. Good Luck and have a great gig.
Hey guys! good luck at your show tonight, i'd come out but we have one of our own :(. Hopefully we get some shows scheduled again this summer, sound good? i think so!
No clue, the promoters are bad by the way in my opinion. They usually book like 7 bands a show which is uncalled for and they just dont really understand promoting strat. but whatever.
