Artist History
WBC started with guitarist/singer/songwriter Nate DiDonato, guitarist Sean Ciccone, and drummer/percussionist Mike Carlin in September of 1998. They briefly had John Walton on bass who left in early '99. Noah Fickler then entered as rhythm guitarist and Sean then took over bass. Allan Eustace, an early collaborator of Nate's, finally entered the band in late '99 as singer/songwriter soon after the band released their homebrew demo. In 2000, WBC progressed further then ever with the addition of their newer, even more refined songwriting skills and instrumentality, which now includes keyboards, viola, and any other instruments that "sound good." March 2001, their self-titled debut CD was released. Late summer 2001, Sean Ciccone and Mike Carlin left Wheeling Bitch Circus. Allan Eustace and Nate DiDonato continued to work heavily on their side project, Death Squad Kills, among other Pure Water Bowel Movement projects (see http://mywebpage.netcape.com/pwbmmusic). Late Fall 2001, Andy Barndt entered and took over bass duties and John Rowe entered on drums. Late Spring of 2002 Noah Fickler left WBC and Matt Grill entered as second guitarist. In late Summer to late winter 2002, WBC wrote and recorded their second full-length album, "Era". It is now available. |
