Artist History LivinZen started in the spring of 1997 with Jimmy,Eric, and Chad. We had just parted ways with adrummer who Chad had jammed with for a coupleyears but Jimmy and Eric had only been with for acouple of months. We decided it was time to startfresh. During the next couple of years we jammedwith several drummers but could never find theright one. Also, during this time we hooked upwith another guitar player, Brent. Finally, afterplaying with a good drummer for a year and evenrecording a 4 song demo in May of 1998 with thisguy, we parted ways with him. Then, in the fall of1998, we found our guy (Matt) and the rest ishistory.
