Our story begins in the year 2000, on a balmy
September night in Gainesville, Florida. There
was a wild and crazy party. With free liquor
and stuff, and a jazz band on the porch. As
they sipped their drinks, Sarah Zachrich and
Andrea Harrell had no idea that a musical
meeting of minds was fixin' to take place.
After the band got too sloshed to play any
more, a revolving impromptu jam session began.
First one drunk guy would play the drums while
another drunk guy played guitar and a guy
who was completely wasted sang. Then another
drunk guy would play... you get the idea.
Andrea was eventually convinced to play some
of her songs, and since everyone else was
too damn drunk, Sarah figured "what the
hell?" and sat down behind the drum kit.
Despite never having played together before
and being really out of practice, it was as
if a light shone down from heaven (or maybe
it was just the sun coming up). After playing
until they realized they were too drunk, our
heroines got into a discussion about the lack
of good chick bands in town. Hey... maybe
they should start one...!
They recruited a bassist, started practicing,
and called themselves The Slip. Four years,
three bass players and a name change later
(turns out they weren't the only Slip in the
world), the band now known as Two Finger Suicide
have carved out a spot as one of Gainesville's
best bands, and they're ready to venture a
bit farther afield and take on the USA...
the eastern third of the country, at least.
Two Finger Suicide's plans for the next year include touring the east coast and midwest and recording a full-length album.
