...see 'Influences'...but we still do things in our own Punch Drunken way...
*** We will be playing our very last gig on Friday, October 2nd at Suzy's.***
Our two very best lead vocalists, Lori & Kristen will be retiring from the music scene for the time being to take care of other responsibilities.
* Punch Drunk started with guitar player extraordinaire Jeff 'The Have' Havener, after years of trying to convince his wife Lori Bryant to form a band with him, finally succeeded. Lori sang on some of her own recordings & the occasional open mic nights & finally said 'Oh...WTF...why not!'. * Lori just happened to have a brother who played the drums, Jeff 'JB' Bryant, who had previously played for 'The Ned Lucas Band' & 'Undershine', & had hinted for years that they should all form a band together as well...like a family business...like...a Rock Mafia so-to-speak. * A good friend, Kristen Carnicelli expressed an interest in the project & was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was aware of her vocal talents via guest spots with friend's bands & signing at the occasional party. * The search for a bass player led them to Dave 'DD' D'Alberto, who at one time lived up the street from the Bryant's when they were kids. A long-time friend, Dave had spent several years playing in the popular blues band 'Northside Blues Band', as well as other projects such as Packey Lambert. * 'The Have'...who wanted to fill out the sound a bit by playing keyboards occasionally, convinced the band to add another guitar player, which led them to Myron 'Choppy' Knuppenburg. Myron had been involved with several projects, happened to be available at the right time & hit it off with the other goofy band members immediately. * Now, with the lineup complete, Punch Drunk has set out to conquer the world!!!! Well, I'm exaggerating here a bit....actually they just want to have fun playing music & entertain people as well. * So...the question is....do you want to be a Punch Drunkard? Come on out & see them...then you decide... ;)
