About Kevlar

 We are known as Kevlar. We have been playing together for almost 3 years now and we have been through a lot.  We started with Eric Waldron singing with us, then we had Alex Burton sing with us. Right now we do not have a study singer but we have structured sound. For the battle of the bands, we will have Sage Rivers come all the way from Iowa to sing and play guitar with us. We are very excited to be playing and are hoping for the best.

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. Watch out, cause here we come
