The story of Something Else began on a sunny afternoon in July of 2005 when the musical talents of Michael J. Klock (a.k.a. "Klocker") and Johnny "football hero" Cummings were brought together by a mutual drummer friend, Anthony Ciulla to form a cover band for a high school graduation party. Little did they know what was in store for them following their magical first encounter in the realm of rock. Klock and Johnny quickly became best friends and came to the realization that they were a musical match made in heaven. It started with 2-piece gigs @ Woody's II every other Friday night under the name "Klock and Johnny." Then they needed a drummer, so in steps Johnny's long time friend from Bergen, Joe Myers. Due to a shoulder injury, after about 6 months or so Joe was out of commission and in stepped Ryan Smith. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Joe because a few months later he teamed up with Mike's brother Matt Klock on bass and lead singer/guitarist John Sacheli to form the local Folk/Rock/Alt. Country band "The Spirit of Ontario." Then one day Mike's little sister Amy said to him "hey, why don't you call your band "Something Else", cuz everybody's always sayin' "Man, you guys are somethin' else" and thus Something Else became the name of the band. THEN, on Jan. 28th, 2006 something amazing happened: Johnny brought his friend Dominic Ciaccia to fill in on drums at a show @ Dubland Underground. The tri-force was unmistakeably complete. Since that point in time Something Else has refined their craft by selecting the best songs that show off their immense vocal power and range, songs that show off Dominic's incredible feel, and songs that everyone knows and loves. They are one of the most entertaining cover bands in Rochester to date, and they are one of the hardest working bands around.
In addition to playing covers Klock and Johnny have been steadily working on producing their own original music. It will be interesting to see what transpires within the next five years. In the meantime, come out to a Something Else show and "Everybody Dance Now"
