MySpace a place for friends

If Tony Iommi and Nancy Wilson had a love child, his name would have been Dave Marrs. In 2005, after years of honing his talents, Dave met Brandon Malone, a throwback to older times, looking for someone to jam with. When Brandon heard Dave's first riff, he wanted to have Dave's love child, but settled for complementing his riffs with lyrics instead. It was then, that Southern Vein was born. After writing and playing all over Virginia for three years, Brandon and Dave "in order to to form a more perfect union" set out to find a new rhythm section. Enter guitar playing bassist Shane Rippey, who brought with him the creative and motivational surge to get them back, better than ever. The answer to their proverbial "prayers" for a modern day Ginger Baker were answered as Joss Sallade joined in on drums. Now after releasing a successful EP "The Witch is In" and touring this past summer, playing with bands the likes of "Karma to Burn" and "Weedeater", they are back in the studio to work on an upcoming split EP with "LORD". The band also decided it was time for a name change. Something that expressed more what they were about. They landed on "Fire Faithful"! So spread the new name around and look out for the new EP to come.
