will cody testes contact |
once upon a time, in a garage not far
away, five kids got together and decided to start a band. amoung
them were dj loney and luke enterline (who had been in previous bands
together), will flanagan and chris james (who had also been in "bands"
together, actually just a joke) and a 19 year old freshman named tye
goodpasture. they were the members who would become
"anti-hippies-of-america", later to be renamed "the problems". we
were inspired by everything and absolutely nothing at all. from
nov. 4 1998 to the beginning of 2002, the problems pumped out one album,
played roughly 10 shows and made lots of cheap merchandise/videos/record
companies and things of that sort. in accordance to that data, we
had no motivation. don't get me wrong, i loved the band and all
the people in it, (except for chris) but they were all going nowhere too
fast. i had been in side projects all along the way including
gooberness and later started to jam with a guy named testes. he
was a drummer and i thought he was terrible at first. so i started
to put more effort into jamming around with testes and soon found a bass
player, matt schneider. i knew my place on earth and it was to be
a musician. i wasn't going to let the down fall of my family band
(the problems) demise affect my destiny so i was all about the band with
testes. now that i think about it, me and schneider had the idea
first and i knew of a guy that dj was jamming with in a band called
bohica. that was testes. after sitting in on thier practices
for a while, i would slowly worm my way into being one of the group.
dj would hardly ever come to practice for he had a
girlfrind. so i took dj's spot, played guitar and did the singing.
i introduced matt and testes together and we started to rock from the get-go. so it had formed, the original trio. me on guitar and vocals, matt on bass and beer and testes on drums. testes and i had just met but i could tell he was a great guy. matt i knew for a while and well...he was matt. so it was three friends together, none of which had screwed over fellow friends, a clean slate if you will. a few months after we formed, i heard some terrible new about my x girlfriend. she has an addiction to dick and she had been sleeping around on a handful of guys. zach opheim had pointed out to me that she had slept with three out of the five members of the problems. then it clicked. wow! what a great idea. we can have a great name and slander the deasonbeast (that would be kc deason, if you have ever heard of her, beweare...) at the same time! and it was a hell of a lot better then the name we were tossing up in the air. so i made stickers and disbursed them everywhere, paying speacial attention to her car. the word was out, and we were here to stay. now matt is gone, cody is here for a while and the best is yet to come. -will |
