Artist History A while back, Brett Miller, Clayon McGhan, and Merek Davis were all in a band called Option 3. The style consisted of alternative, with a little bit of emo. At the same time, Brig Woods had a band, that was heavier rock. The style was that of Pantera, Tool, and Sevendust. Tyler Landvatter was also in a band, called Held Over. They were a punk band. All of the members of Half Past 9 had their own reasons for coming and joining this band, but the biggest reason was that they all had experience. Each person had at least played in 10 or more live settings. All had recording studio knowledge. The first practice was held Febuary 25th. On that practice date, Half Past 9 accomplished one thing. None of the old songs from the other bands would work and fit the style that they wanted. They dropped everything they had played before, and worked on, and tried to work on a style of thier own. Continuing to work out through tough, conflicting schedules, Half Past 9 started working on getting a name in the local scene. That started with a name. At first, they took ideas that people had, and listened. Some included that of, “Pteridactyl Powertools,” “Pillow Fight,” “Time of Day,” and a few others that shouldnt be revealed. At last, they came up with a name, “Half Past 9.” Half Past 9 is currentyl playing the local music scene, and working on a cd, being recorded at Minds Eye Digital Studio.
