Artist History Lead singer/Guitarist Scott Carter and Drummer Kerry Tait formed a band in the summer of 1993 along with friends Nicholas Dumas and Samuel Brienholt. They played covers of Pink Floyd, Rage against the machine, Nirvana, ect. Their first gig was a talent show at their church in January of 1993. They also played 3 songs for a STOMP at Bingham High School. Peter Boskovich joined the band in the summer of 1994 and took over bass guitar for the band. Peter spent the entire summer in France, so the other three were left to play a couple of church parties without a bass player. As soon as Peter returned from France the band started to write songs. Peter brought back the ideas for what would later become Funkadelic Pancake, Cool Song, and Holy Cow. They played often during high school lunchtime activities under several different names doing mostly covers and some of their own music. During the next eighteen months, they took the time and spent the money to record twice. Andy Josephs joined the band in January of 1996. The first performance with Andy was during the Bingham High School talent show where the boys played Homebrew by 311. That summer 11 songs were recorded in two days; the recordings included Pouch of a Kangaroo, and Jaco P. January of 1997 was definitely the best show Pipe Dream had had up to that point. Pipe Dream played for around 1,000 kids at a Bingham High School STOMP. It was a farewell to Peter, he was leaving on a a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With a rockin' set consisting of mostly 311 covers and original tunes, they put on a killer show. Scott came out in his Care Bear costume, Pete had his new bass, Andy still had long hair, and Kerry wore his #21 jersey. Over the years of 1997-1999 the band took a hiatus while Scott, Kerry, and Peter, served two year missions for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Arkansas, Spain, and Italy, respectively. After the two years were up the band reunited and breathed life back into the Utah local music scene. Playing shows at several local clubs including, Getty's, Port-o-Sports, the Zephyr, The Wrapsody(in Provo), and several colleges and high schools. In January of 2000 after Scott Kerry, and Andy got back from a trip to California, they released their debut CD. Their self titled/self made CD and shows have received great reviews in several of Utah's papers including The Desert News and The SUU journal. On May 1st, 2000 after narrowing down to five a field of over 30 bands, Salt Lake Community College held a battle of the bands. Pipe Dream won! On May 6th the boys performed with 15 other bands at a local festival for over 800 screaming music fans. Pipe Dream continues to play shows and write music as often as humanly possible.

Press Reviews Pipe Dream offers a CD with varietyBy Scott IwasakiDeseret News music editorPIPE DREAM; “Pipe Dream” (Daily Grind). 2 ½ starsJust when things are getting a bit monotonous on the local music scene, out comes Pipe Dream. The band – bassist Peter Boskovich, vocalist M. Scott Carter, guitarist Andy Josephs and drummer Kerry Tait – has been playing together for four years.The band has released its eponymous independent CD, and it sounds pretty good. A variety of styles can be found on these 10 tracks, but unlike some bands that try to push too many things into a single album, Pipe Dream seems focused.“Alien Groove” opens the disc with its dynamic progressive funk movements, and the moody “Verbania” immediately shifts the sound from crunchy grinds to a dreamy shuffle. The album’s surprises are the little tunes, “Cool Song” and “New Brussell.” Both songs have a touch of easy reggae, and “New Brussell” keeps it alive with some quick-tongued chatting. Pipe Dream gets back into the funk with “Rule of Thumb” and ends the album with the power-chords of “Livin’.”The only drawback is the overkill riff on “Daily Grind.” But, then again, with a title like that, maybe that’s what the band had in mind.-Deseret News, 04/07/2000
