Artist History file13's History "Just the facts man"Born in the Spring of '99.All members are from the Kansas City Metro area.file13 is the legacy of an unnamed 3 piece formedin the summer of 98. The original members were,Roger Bevz, Mike Lotz, and Jeremy Rush. Jeremywas accepted into an undergraduate program andwas forced to leave the band. Mike and Rogercontinued playing together for about 3-4 monthsbefore James Boes was introduced to Roger in thefall of 98. James was having trouble with hiscurrent project; they badly needed a drummer,so it only seemed natural to get together andsee what kind of noise the merger might create.After about 30 min of sharing various covers,Roger and James knew their styles were verycompatible and their goals were along the samelines. file13 auditioned many bassists beforefinally hooking up with Glenn Hall, who was busywith his own project, Sacred but seemed eager tojoin file13. Glenn's tone, solid playing style,personality and the obvious syncronicity withMike was a welcomed addition to the quartet.James and Roger, while both confident vocalistsand songwriters, were finding it difficult tofind a defining vocal style. Luckily, the godssmiled upon us and Tim Glynn, formerly with theheavy/ alternative rock band Plow, showed up toan open audition. One improve groove later hewas hired. Once Tim was integrated into the mix,file13 finally started developing a unique soundunlike anything currently happening in the KansasCity Area. The classic rock, country and metalinfluences that shaped both James' and Roger'sguitar styles, in conjunction with Mike andGlenn's rock solid rhythms and innovative approaches bring an "Old School" respect tothe original compositions and performances,while Tim's contemporary vocal style makesfile13's sound appealing to a wide varietyof listeners.
