Drew, Adam, Colin, Mark, Joel, and Eric were alive. Now they are all alive together, in the same room.
Well, here is our extremely long bio:
Drew Williams and Adam Schutz began playing songs (specifically "Tangerine" by Led Zeppeling) together in the summer of 2005. Then Colin Matsumoto proclaimed, "hey, I want to be a part of that." The godly three stumbled across a steaming choir boy named Daniel Branaghan and informed him that he was their vocalist. He had a high voice / his testicles had yet to drop - PERFECT for a lead singer. Mark Pasternack arrived on the scene when he was rescued by Adam. Poor Mark's scarf was on too tight and it was choking him pretty severly. This mixed with the fact that he was menstruating. Before his parents could find him, he was dangling from a bridge. It was Adam who read to him from the bible and lulled him away from his own gratifying death. Actually, none of that was true, but he did join the band. He didn't even really want to. Then one night, Drew was playing poker with a certain Tommy Williams and he was introduced to a boy named Joel Arter who played the drums. Being utterly disappointed with the triumphant and shitty recordings, Joel reluctantly joined. The original six (Drew, Adam, Colin, Daniel, Mark and Joel) played minor gigs together from the winter of 2006 until the winter of 2007; their first show was March 25th at the good old Scarlet & Grey Cafe. On the eve of their first gig, the origi-six took a sprint through Otterbein Cemetary (it's legal to do that as long as it isn't dark; Westerville cops have a bad mix of huge egos and way too much free patrol time). One day in early 2007, Daniel went to buy a ping-pong table; naturally this was the beginning of the end of his commitment to the band. After some minor rearranging (and crybaby Adam quitting the band for 6 days), Eric Irvin entered the circle of PayDirt. Since Eric's joining, they have played gigs at The Basement, NBC Coffeehouse, and Newport. PayDirt began recording their first 9-track album, "Mr. Sunshine," on September 23rd, 2007 with Bobby Leonard at Paper Tiger Studios. They then looked to their incredibly efficient schoolmate, Kyle David Hollar, for additional studio time. MR. SUNSHINE IS NOW COMPLETED AND FOR SALE!!!! This is the updated history of the friendly neighborhood band called PayDirt.
