Ryan, Ross and Erik have known each other for a long time. Probably thousands of years, but nobody really knows. They share a lot of the same tastes and musical influences, but at the same time they all bring something different to the table. After jamming together and writing a collection of songs over the course of a year or two, Flying Kards added drummer Clint Johnson to the mix.
In the summer of 2008, they put together their first album of sorts, "Grow." Recording and putting together the collection of songs was a huge learning experience for everyone and now about a year later Flying Kards is still writing new material and has matured a lot as a band. The guitars are crunchier, beats are meatier, the vocals are a bit smoother, and they're still always looking for ways to improve their sound.
As of very recently, Ryan and Ross are trying their hand at busking on the street corners of the Old Market around 11th and Howard on Saturday nights and other nights inbetween (come see them play! a friendly face is worth more than any tip). The band has also been jamming with a new bass player, Mike, who's also got some serious chops as a musician.
With the addition of a bass player, Flying Kards has been working on a number of very new songs as well as some of the classics you can hear on this page. Hopefully, now that Flying Kards have more tasty grooves at their disposal as well as a complete line-up, there will be gigs in the future (think late summer/fall), new tunes online, and new friends along the way.
