About
Here is a little about the band that is formely The Afflicted Saints, previously Gilberts Coin Collection. The name comes from Chris. In class one day at Evergreen High, he was having a conversation with a friend and asked what a good band name would be. His friend was coming up with some really retarded names, so he said just come up with a name that no one really has. So I guess Gilbert came from that and the coin collection came from me and Chris when he used to steal money from his moms "coin collection".
Well me and Chris have known each other for a while. When I moved over into the Evergreen School District, I was put in the same class that Chris was in. We both shared the same kinds of music, such as the Suicide Machines and Mustard Plug, so we always wanted to be in a band, but we didnt really know how to play any instruments. But when I moved off to Auburn we didnt talk for a while, then I moved back and then moved away again then finnaly settled back down in Vancouver. Then he had finaly bought a bass so then we started playing together with just a bass and an accousic guitar. Then we were searching forever for a drummer for the Gilberts Coin Collection and had absolutly no luck at all. So Chris had a friend who wanted to start another band. So they came up with the name The Afflicted Saints. Which we will be playing our first show with Half Ass Hero at the Hazel Dell Grange.
