Artist History Up for it started in the summer of '99 around Fiesta, a five day festival in Santa Barbara. Viva La Fiesta! Jansen Lee and Brian Kuroda met up while throwing confetti eggs at Sugarcult, and started the band that we've all grown to know and love. The original members were Jansen, Brian, Ian Williams, and Sean Lamb. They were later connected with a very talented bass player, Steve Libby. Steve had played bass for other bands around town. He and Brian knew eachother and decided to get together and jam one day, and Steve has been in the band ever since. After recording a 5-song demo Up for it decided that they needed to start looking for a new drummer. They found one during the school year, that drummer was Dan Moore. He practiced with the band a few times, and he got the job. The Up for it lineup was finally complete. They played lots of shows and recorded again at The Living room with our friend, John Lyons. Today, Up for it continues to play shows and write new music. These guys arent only in a band, but they are a tightly-knitted group of friends as well. We love all of our fans, friends, and family and thank everyone!
