JODY SEABODY AND THE WHIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This band was originally formed in 2004 by Clint Rater, Carl Silver, and Bryce Perkins to be a band with no limits. A project of self expression if you will. We formed what turned out to be more of a musical club than a conventional band. Each member has brought his own unique blend to the music that makes it come across as very unique and we are proud of that. We are original now and forever.Aaron Stark played the drums until his departure in '04. Matth Johnston joined on bass in '05.The lineup stayed permanent until '08 with the induction of J. Thad McCarthy on drums. However, the final complete ultimate line-up was decided in 2009 and is as follows: Matth Johnston - Bass, Dave Merriett - Guitar, Bryce Perkins - Guitar - Voice, Clint Rater - Drums - Voice.
