In the summer of 2003
the Triggerhappy Pacifists had played their first show. It was
at FUEL 2003 and there were over three hundred people watching
them. Palms sweaty and stomachs turning, they walked out under
the bright lights of the stage thinking that they were going
to reek worse than a five year old gallon of milk. Oh were
they ever wrong. Not only were they accepted by the audience,
but they were adored by them. “My mouth was so dry that I
thought my lips kept getting stuck to my teeth and my tongue
was basically a giant wad of cotton.”, said Josh Deane, who
was singing that night, “I was afraid that I was going to ruin
all of the lyrics, but it turns out that I just soured them a
little bit.”
The
Triggerhappy Pacifists are a group of four punks who have
nothing better to do except strum away on their guitars and
beat away on their drums. The Triggerhappy Pacifists are all
God fearing Christians, but they would like to think that they
don’t have the arrogant Christian attitude towards others. The
name of their band is a symbol of these feelings. Their name,
The Triggerhappy Pacifists, was created when Josh, staying up
too late and on a caffeine high, began thinking about he got
tired of the arrogant Christian mindset, “I have grown tired
of how people say that they are Christians, and then scream
and curse at poor depressed girls going into a planned
parenthood building. If this is what being a Christian is
about, then I don’t want to be one.” The Triggerhappy
Pacifists have a different mindset about what being a
Christian is all about, “We just accept everyone”, says their
guitarist, Kyle Casey, “It’s weird, we’ve always been the
outcasts, but now since we’ve just been making everyone feel
accepted we’ve gained a ton of popularity.” But popularity has
nothing to do with their motives. They are just looking for a
way to share their feelings to the world through their
music.
The Triggerhappy Pacifists have gone through some
lineup changes within the last year. When Veronica Vance left,
the Triggerhappy Pacifists wondered about what to do for a
lead singer. Without enough time to find one before FUEL, Josh
Deane took this position since he is the one that wrote the
lyrics to the songs that they had gotten a chance to practice,
and chances to practice are rare since the Triggerhappy
Pacifists live in three different states. Although Josh kept
the tune very well, he sounded “Like a horrible mix between
Scott Stap and Elvis Presley”, says JJ Fletcher, the bands
lead guitarist. Immediately after FUEL the band began
searching for a new singer. Although they almost had their
good friend, Mike Davis, sing for them, Mike felt as if he was
called to do other things. So the band is again down to four
members: Josh, Jess, Kyle, and JJ. But another recent change
has taken place, a new drummer has been put into the lineup do
to some conflicts. Jon Fletcher, a very talented drummer and
also JJ's younger brother, has taken his sticks and drums into
the lineup puttin some awesome double bass rhythm into THP's
songs. These guys have a song in their hearts and a desire to
change the world, one arrogant prep at a time.

Josh Deane is that one guy that you know from
that one place, who always wore the neckties, he likes to read
books when hes bored, and is always looking for ways to make
his music more artistic while not making it suck, these things
take up alot of his time, although he does like to go out with
the ladies on the weekends. His favorite types of music are
Techno, Funk, Punk, Hard Rock, and Jazz, these varied
influences are what make his music so unique.
