CHAD SCHWARTZ
Of Havick
& THE 515 Booking Agency
1. Who is Havick? Where did they come from? . Havick is a fairly new rock party band out of Des Moines that plays mostly modern rock (90’s to today) with a few classics thrown in. Band members are Brian Lincoln on lead vocals & guitar, Jim Cateron on guitar, Chad Schwartz on bass, and Joe Puente on drums & vocals. We also have Gene Scott that comes up and plays bass /backup vocals on some songs, does his famous band introductions, provides our light show, as well as does everything and anything you can imagine to help keep the band going. Joe Puente - has never been in a band besides Havick but has been playing drums for 12 years. Gene Scott - has never been in a band besides Havick and has played bass less than a year. His first live bass performance was the December 31, 2008 New Years Eve Bash at The Reverse Bar in Perry. Quite a few were shocked and delighted to see him play live for the first time! I bet nobody could guess who his bass teacher is. Jim Cateron - I started a band called Painface with Anders who was the original singer of Slipknot, also with Jas (guitar) from On a Pale Horse, Nick Bullock (drums) and Paul Grinstead (bass). Then I joined Mindsplice with Paul Vanweelden (bass), Mark Loomis (drums), the one and only famous Billy Sevenbergen (guitar), and Kitty (singer) who was the ex-wife of Craig Jones of Slipknot. She died a few years back of breast cancer. Then Jim was idle for a few years until joining up with Havick. Brian Lincoln - At the age of sixteen started my first band Cyro. We were way into Duran Duran so we tried to copy there look. With the dyed bangs, tails and we even wore makeup. Members were Brian Lincoln-lead vocals; Ron Mcgee Jr.-lead guitar, vocals, and backup vocals; Dave Prince-bassist who was replaced after a couple of years by Curtis Fuller, Jamie Downing-keyboards; Ty Legget-drums who was soon replaced by a classmate from S.E. Polk Jason Brady of Toad Valley Golf Course. We played half originals and half covers. Some Duran Duran, Cars, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Badfinger, and Beatles. Some of our originals were Shadows Turning Red, Nowhere to Run, Audacious Type, and Doves in a Rainy Season. My mother managed Alladin's Castle at Merle Hay Mall, so we mostly played there every other Saturday. Switching off weekends with rival band Onyx. We played a battle of the bands at Vittoria Lodge where the Kruze band had dominated. Although we did not win, the Kruze band liked our sound and Rick Maly, Kruze's drummer and sound engineer, wanted to record us. We became great friends with all the band Pat Helan, Dirk Newton, Rick Maly, Ron Kinnenbeck, and their bassist Brian, I can't remember his last name. Some of those members worked at Rieman's Music where Ron Mcgee and Myself took up employment also. Cyro finally came to an end because myself and Ron were getting into harder rock and the rest of the band was getting more techno. When We split and me and Ron joined forces with Bill King-bassist, Scott Kacher-keyboards, and Paul Grandquist-drums who was replaced after a year by Tim "Boom Boom" Burrows. We named ourselves "Medallion" and it seemed to be a match made in heaven. We lived and breathed rock n' roll. We all worked then at Riemans except our drummer Tim. He found other ways to make money. We became the house band at Hott Rocks, you might remember it as The Pines. We played there Wednesday thru Saturday. It really helped us get tight. We were all young and cocky with a great song list and an amazing live performance. Our song list consisted of White Snake, G n' R, Sammy Hagaar, Skid Row, Zeppelin, Kingdom Cum, Cinderella, Foriegner, Thin Lizzy, Reo Speedwagon. We played pretty much anything and everything. After three or four years going hard all over the state of Iowa at places like Sioux City, Fort Dodge, Ames, Grand Junction, Des Moines, Bill had a choice between his girlfriend Cindy or the band. Foolishly he chose her. Along with some other variables at the time it pretty much dissolved Medallion. We did do a reunion show at Party Town and along with opening for Pat Travers at Hott Rocks it was a great time. Ron, Scott and I then tried our luck with the other gentlemen, who we had long time idolized from the Thunderteaz. Lance Harrison- lead guitarist, Tom Murphy bassist, and Kevin Morrissey-drummer who now make up band 3 A.M. and Side Effect. We went strong for about two years under the name Scarlett O' Hara. We played stuff like The Guess Who, Steve Miller, Led Zeppelin, and AC/DC. CONTINUED HERE |
