MySpacea place for friends

Beginning in the year 1989, four individuals deciding to explore and compose musically, their interest, talent, and energy, among one another, and the world.

With many combinations, each with expression through each their collaborations, would soon lead into becoming more than a dream, but a reality that each musician had longed for since childhood.

With each band member not realizing, what once was a weekend Jam session, would soon turn into another weekend job, not only to cause conflict of daily schedules, but for each their personal lives, which to each member was becoming bigger than expected, and surprisingly fast.

Starting out in a backyard shed, they nicknamed, "The Hell House”, referring back to playing Skynyrd cover tunes, and long hot summer nights of practice without ac. As time progressed, so did the band, and as with many individuals in the music industry, each have had their share of milestones, difficulty, and experiences. Keeping their musical interest from dying was a must, and soon would lead each musician to the reality of their faults, trails and errors, in which not only brought them closer, but also giving each their own taste of the musical journey, in which their lives had entered.

With the band needing support now more than ever, their will to survive not only as a musician, but as a band, was as strong as ever. The band went on to performing gigs for as little as the door in their hometown night clubs, to booking themselves with no management, at out of town gigs, and parties in which they often seemed to break even on as far as their expenses, but their heart always seemed to be in it for the love of music, and the support of each their effort.

Although the bands spirits were high, tragedy would soon takes its toll. The instability of not having a stable place for rehearsals, would soon not only lead into members drifting in different directions, but also lead into each losing perspective of the music that once meant the world to them. Leaning more toward outside interest, and not taking the bond between one another into consideration, nor the effort from each member that had brought them this far. To each the band seemed to be shipwrecked.

Starting a new in 1998, two of the four original members, Lead Vocalist - Randy Owens, and Lead/Rhythm guitar player David H., set out on another journey to explore in musical taste, and try to move forward in each their musical careers. Remaining members, Bass Player - Robert Parker, and Drummer - John Hodge, carried on to several musical adventures, and auditions. Progress for the original band members seemed to have never taken its boundaries, nor take the band any farther. To each nothing seemed to click, progress was at a standstill, to the point of the entire band becoming dead.

Several years would follow, and to each band member, each shared a sadness that of which the band had ended in such a substance induced haze. With each realizing what the music meant to them, Coming out of prior experiences, they each just wanted a band where all the members were together, and on the same page. Wanting a band with strong management, and needing things to be right. They all knew that to make the band work, the chemistry between them had to spark, remembering all the good, and forgiving the bad, and putting it all behind them, and start fresh into the journey they each walked, joined, and entertained along the way. Self esteem and dedication was a must, and with strong will, their momentum, and the band, began to grow toward public launch. They all recall the spirit, and vitality which had been the backbone of the band. It's all about the love for music, dedication, and entertaining by dong what you love.

Reforming in Late 2007, The band is currently composing new material, for a more captivating, combination and sound, that offers a journey of emotive energy and expression through each their collaborations. We know this band today as INDUCEDHAZE.
