About Kevlar The
band first started off in the fall of 2005 with Eric Waldron as
our lead singer. The rest of the members remained the same except
Alex hadn't joined up yet. A few months later Eric decided to fill
his dreams with another band so he left us. Then came Alex. Along
with Alex came the name the E.B.C. (everything but country). We
played one show as the E.B.C. and it was a great show thanks to
all of the fans that came out and supported us! Well.. this past
school year we decided that we need to get a little more serious
about our music. So we started with Changing our name to Kevlar
and Alex moved down to Rhythm guitar due to lack of equipment.
Right now we are kind of stuck in mud, like every band has been at
some point. We need a singer to step up and take control. |

About Chasing Chaos
Chasing Chaos is a South Michigan band. We started out when
guitarists Blake, Brett, and bassist Chase started jamming
together. We started to write full songs and thought we should
make a band. With ex- drummer Kyle Perkins, we started practicing
with the four of us, with Kyle at drums, Chase on the bass, Brett
on guitar, and Blake rounding off with lead vocals and guitar. We
started to practice and Blake realized that with the songs we had,
he couldn't sing and play well at the same time. So the search for
a new singer began. We wound up choosing Jozzy, the only female
member. Then, we had to let Kyle go because he wasn't focused
enough. So we had current drummer Steve Tennis give it a shot and
he rocked the audition. Unfortunately, we had some problems within
the band that caused some conflicts. As of 4-30-08, due to those
conflicts, Jozzy was removed from the band. We started looking for
a singer and had to look no further than across the street as
rocker and musical virtuoso, David Hall was placed in the singer
spot, adding along the capacity for piano among other things. With
our current lineup we are ready to take the music scene by storm.
