Sounds LikeWe should really cut back on the drinking and practice more. But why? Who goes to our shows because of the music? Certainly not us!

   About Apollo 14
Las Vegas instro-surf band. Formed in 1995, broke up around 1999/2000, reunited in 2007 to take over the world!

Sometime in 1995, Ben and Eric, were finishing up the last shows as Cebollas De Satanas with Eric's cousin, Andre. The plan was already set to start an instrumental surf band. Scott was brought in to play bass so Ben could play all leads, as Eric is incapable of playing anything resembling a lead.

After about three months of practices and a couple of bar gigs, the band landed the opening slot for The Reverend Horton Heat at the Huntridge Theater in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, this would be the largest crowd they would ever play to. A few months later, Andre was relieved of his services as drummer due to his intimate relationship with a small Asian boy. So, they cooked him and ate him. Gerry "Turbo" Proctor volunteered to sit in on drums and then asked to be kept on permanently. A lot of shows were played over the next couple of years, some good, some not so good, but all fun.

Opening for the likes of Man... Or Astro-Man? (Project Alpha), The Bomboras and The Quadrajets led to the even more high profile gigs playing with The Real Creeps, Monster Zero, The Latest Flames, and most importantly, The Vermin.

One might ask how one band could secure so many gigs with legendary Vegas punks, The Vermin. Well, the answer is simple, Gerry is their drummer too. Not to mention that Dirk and Ruckus couldn't pass up the chance to bust the collective balls of Apollo 14!

The time came one day when Scott announced he was moving to Seattle so he could be closer to the final resting place of Kurt Cobain. The rest of the band tried, but couldn't find an Albino/Puerto Rican Jehovah's Witness with a fetish for 85lb girls, percocets, festering open sores and absolutely no concept of rhythm. Who knew it would be that hard? Since his release from a mental health facility in Philadelphia, Scott "worked" his way back to town and the band has decided to reform. Oh what a glorious day, shout it out to the heavens, there is new reason to continue breathing! Thanks for looking and we hope to see you soon, we'll be at the bar!!!

As of September of 2008, Apollo 14 and Scott Bruns have decided to part ways. Replacing him is none other than Nichole Shanefelter (formerly of Parannoyd).

Also, for those of you not in the know... Mr. Victor Moya has been bashed up in a car accident, so taking his place for the moment is our good friend and previous drummer - Mr. Gerry "Turbo" Proctor. We're playing 4 shows in May, so make sure to check them out...

HERE'S THE NEW SWAG! THANKS TO MEL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK! MEN'S SHIRTS ARE AVAILABLE IN M-XL, ALL WOMEN'S STYLES AVAILABLE IN S-XL. COZY'S ARE AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS COLORS. WE HAVE THREE PICTURED, BUT COULD PROBABLY FIND MORE, JUST ASK IF YOU WANT. ALL SHIRTS ARE $8 INCLUDING SHIPPING, COZYS ARE $3.
