Artist History Structure was a project that began somewhere in the Spring of 1992 on the magical part of the SUNY Albany campus known as State Quad. John, Chris, and a guitarist names Lance Vallis had been playing for fun with some friends, when out of the blue their RA, one Prescott Gaylord, decided he needed a band. The four hit it off well, and the project continued under the name "Structure" (which originated from a former vocalist who used to protest their tendency to always want "musical structure" in songs). Lance eventually moved on and when to Boston, but the three remaining members began seeking out something new to add to the band. Enter Amy Willey, a friend of a friend who had been meandering around Troy, unbeknownst to the members of Structure, whalloping out her own brand of kickin' music. Willey soon became assimilated into Structure for the duration. Still lacking a strong lead player, the band soon realized that one more key element was missing, so they called upon one of the great untapped natural resources of the Albany Music Scene, Jed Davis. Jed was happy to join the project and soon added his diabolical keyboard playing and quick wit to the lineup. The band continued to play small, non-paying venues for the remainder of 1995, and ultimately met its demise with the loss of Prescott when he moved to Wisconsin. Where are they now ..?
