   About The Tradesmen
Photobucket ________________________________________________________________ WE ARE THE REAL TRADESMEN! The Tradesmen officially formed together in winter of 2003. The band was formed out of misfit members from the ashes of several bands in the Erie, Pennsylvania area. These bands included: The Bastard Brigade (T.J.) Eternal Conflict (Jeremy) Go Go Rays (Mike R) The Coffin Bangers (Darren) The band was given the name as its "gimmick". Most of the members are constuction trade workers. A Pipefitter/Plumber, a Painter, a Glazier, An HVAC technician, An Insulator. You may notice that many of our songs are very working class oriented. We are proud to be a working class band. Forever supporting and being a voice of the working class men and women of this nation. The band lied basically dormant for 2- 2 1/2 years due to some internal problems. During this time we did play a few shows and we made many friends. In late 2005 or early 2006 the band worked out its issues and was strongly revived relearning some previously written material and writing new material. More recently adding another member, Danny(Bagpipes, Tin whistle). Although, the band is I suppose considered "new". The response from our fans thus far has been outstanding. Thank you to all of our friends everywhere who are behind us. The primary influences of this band is Punk, Hardcore, Rock, Reggae, Ska, Metal, Folk and Celtic. Which has shown so far to be a recipe for some bad ass street rock. The band has recently recorded a full length album. We are looking for a good record label help support this great album. Although, we might hold for a few more months to record other great new material. We are always up for playing shows so drop us a line anytime. Thats all I can think of right now. And remember.... DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP!!! _______________________________________________________________ Please help us at a local level by playing one of our songs on RockErie.com It would be greatly appreciated!!!! ________________________________________________________________
