Jennifer tells her story...blah blah blah..
Well.. my story is pretty simple.. I'm from Staten island, NY. I moved from there to the D.C. area and jammed out with some hardcore bands.. one night my old band "open defiance" played with SPiNE at a club right outside of D.C. and less than a week later they asked me to join the group.
It was pretty much perfect timing since we had just let go of our guitarist and were searching around for one. Plus, I was a HUGE SPiNE fan to begin with.. much like Kittie. :)
I met the ladies at FARMCLUB, the T.V. show that ran for a couple months on the USA Network. We played with Kittie (duh), Queens of the Stone Age, and Disturbed. It was a great night and we all got along really well and always kept in touch.
Fast forward a year and a half later.. SPiNE gets signed and releases "NON VIOLENT OFFENDER" and tours and tours.. small clubs, ya know the deal. ;) We even did a video for the song "NON VIOLENT OFFENDER"
It never got released because our singer decided that he didn't want to play "heavy" music anymore.. so, basically we break up in Sept of 2001.
Mike Bossier, Mike Spiers and myself form a group called "Audio Terror Regime" with a new singer named Jeremy.
Then, I get a phone call saying that Talena has decided to leave Kittie and am I up to the task to come and throwdown?
The answer is obvious. :)
I had two days to get my life in order and headed right to London Ontario CANADA.
That's pretty much exactly how everything went.. it's definetly a dream come true.. and everything sounds fucking awesome.. and I can't wait for everyone to see Kittie NOW. :)
