Artist History It all started when Kirby met Serra in like 10th grade at a woods party and shared the same interest in a band called Weezer. They started to jam to covers like Weezer and Green Day then they thought it would be cool to start a band. They asked Chris Judson to play drums for them then wrote a couple of songs and dubbed themselves Override. Shortly after they broke up and started writing alone again. Then Kirby and Serra met Tyler Saraca (The coolest kid ever) and they started a rock band called Seconds From Nowhere which came from a high school friend named Ryan Young. They then wrote songs and practiced a ton and came out with a 7 song recording off their 4-track which was a big hit in their hometown. Their one problem was that they never performed the songs on the E.P. live. They then worked on new material that they would play live and created a new 5 song demo and renamed themselves The Blend. The Blend played many shows and were together approximately a year. When it was time for Brian to goto school and Tyler to go off his own way as well They broke up but Tyler and Mike continued to write songs and recorded a 4 song E.P. under the alias Random. When that summer was over and nothing had came of that project everyone went their own ways shortly. Then Kirby and Serra started playing and writing again and recorded a genius song which they decided would be the core sound of their new band "RiverView". One day at Community college Serra was talking to a friend that he used to goto high school with and he asked him about the Bass guitar. Coop was great at bass and decided it would be cool to join Kirby and Serra's work in progress and they formed a unit with the equiptment and talent to acheive what they've always wanted. A life touring on the road.
