Artist History
It was nighttime in Claremont--one of those
towns where not even the most fanciful dreamer
expects anything to happen because, well,
nothing had ever happened there before. But
there are bound to be exceptions to every rule,
even in Claremont, and on this night an
exception occurred: Christine Anderson ditched
classwork for the first time in her life, and
took off in search of a band--something that
would rock that town out from under its
dustcovering. Over In-N-Out burgers and
tumblers of beer-wine, she convinced a
curly-haired guitar-jamming boy named Brian
to join her. Together they searched for a
kickass bass player and a knock-you-out drummer.
Brian phoned Doug Rohlfs (later replaced by
punkrock riot boy Daren Koch) who brought over
a bass and showed the two what he was made of.
The three-piece then phoned a record studio in
Burbank, requesting the numbers some really awesome drummers.
The studio laughed at them, and later by fate the trio
ran across Danny. Impressed by the the others'
instrumental know-how and pure junkpop sound,
Danny joined the crusade, bringing with him a
fresh percussive attack and a collection of
chocolate-smooth grooves. And Copasetic rocked
down to business. This was the beginning... |
