We’d like you all to meet our new bassist, Gordon Van Dam! We look forward to playing with Gordon in the future.

We had a lovely show on May 22. It did rain on us, but we had tents and tarps, so we were okay. In all honesty, it could have gone better, but we all still had fun, and it was a good start to what we hope to be a summer full of shows. Somehow (*cough cough* COVID *cough cough*) it was our second show ever, but it most certainly won’t be our last.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. pretty much right after our first show. Because of the uncertainty around the virus and how high the numbers were in our area, we weren’t able to get back to practicing until early June of 2020. For the same reasons, we weren’t able to have a single show until very recently, on May 22 of 2021. While in trapped at home, we each had our own things to keep us busy.

We had our first concert on Februrary 20, 2020! It was a blast for everyone, us included. At this point, the band consisted of Malachi Schmitz (bass), Isaac Foust (keys), Gabe Schmitz (guitar), and Josiah Fillingham (drums). Here’s a couple photos: The rest of the photos are over on Instagram. It’s also notable that this show was right before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, so that’s why you don’t see anyone wearing masks and why there was such a large gap between it and the show after it.

As our homepage says, we were founded as a close group of friends who share a passion for music and its creation. We started because a bunch of us who liked the same kind of music got together and said, “hey, it might be fun to start a band together!” We started off as a classic three-piece band, with Gabe Schmitz on guitar, Malachi Schmitz on bass, and Josiah Fillingham on drums.
