Music Style Rock

Artist History "Spent" After almost two years in the band "Green Angel", I suppose it was time for myself, Blake Berglund, of Kennedy, Saskatchewan, to be asked by the rest of my band to move on with my abilities elsewhere since the nagging for devotion was extreme from that of the rest of the band. Greatly offended I went on the search for a new group of musicians, all with different tastes in music and all with the same amount of great dedication, hoping to begin "the better" rock band in the Windthorst/Kennedy area. I heard of two brothers from Windthorst who liked to just have a good time and Jam on the weekends in their basement, Tyson and Derek Bachert. With Tyson loving the present alternative rock and Derek uniquely interested in rap, I asked the two what they thought of getting together and playing a bit. Both seeming quite aroused by the idea we started practicing cover tunes by Semisonic and Collective Soul. Tyson's rhythmic guitar, Derek's heavy bass beats, and my "shrieky" voice with 70's rock guitar playing made for an interesting twist on our favourite songs. After three months of playing something was still missing – the bass. Mitch Hassler, also of Windthorst, spent our beginning winter in the Rocky Mountains, making snow and teaching himself bass guitar. As a sort of acquaintance throughout grade school I had no problem approaching him upon his return in March of 2001. Just like the Bachert's, he was all for the idea of becoming a Rockstar. With many name changes, extra small part member additions and dropouts; through our two year period, it is us four who are proud to be known as Spent . After almost spending a full year covering bands from the 70's to today, such as AC/DC, Lynard Skynard, Collective Soul, Jimmy Eat World, and The Tragically Hip, we decided to try our hand at working on originals as a whole. We have each assisted in writing and recording different originals (from the comfort of Mitch's living room and Bachert's basement); and with our fusion of musical influences (Rock, Metal, Alternative, Rap, Blues, and even a little Country) we are very pleased with our outcome apart from impressive feedback. As a band we have played at many cabarets and parties, and at the end of the night, it's always the originals that the crowd wants more of. We still do our covers, but the "late night wonders" are what we are working on and developing. We write the party tunes, such as "I Fly" and "All She Wants" to the classic rock ballads, such as "I Don't Feel Like Me" and "Fill That Space". We aren't punk, we are Rock.
