Artist History Tim Rood is the founding member of the group. After leaving his former group "Clutch Cargo", an Atlanta based Alternative Roots Rock band, where he was the lead guitarist, he set about to start a new group based on his roots. The search was long and hard to find the right mix of people. Exactly one year later, Tim came across a stroke of luck and answered an ad from a local magazine in the Atlanta, Georgia, the "Creative Loafing". In this ad, there happened to be two individuals who simply stated "Very Tight Rhythm Section seeking others". Tim couldn't resist the temptation seeing the word "Tight", which meant to him that these guys had probably been playing for quite some time, and were more than likely pretty darn good. Shortly thereafter, an interview was setup. Tim went to the "audition" not knowing what to expect. But when he began to sing his first song, the other two quickly realized that this guy was not some average player answering their ad. They quickly jumped into his first song, and the rest was history. The songs started to come together quickly from that point on. The magic seemed to spark right away. After the first session, Loren & Bobby (bassist & drummer) new that Tim was the guy that they had been searching for. After 50 or so auditions, they had found their man. After a long talk, the three quickly realized that they all three shared the same vision towards music, something that is a rarity in the music business. Then it was clear, the band was born! Next the quest was on! They needed to find the final person in the band, a lead guitarist to back their new front man. Then began a long agonizing quest for a lead guitarist capable of fulfilling the vision of the band. After another 30 or so players, one day a bartender friend of Tim’s mentioned he had a roommate at the time who was very talented and was available. Initially Tim looked at him with skepticism, but decided to give this new guy a chance. What the heck, it's not like they had anything to lose since they had already auditioned over 40 players to no avail. An audition was quickly setup, and Scott was invited to a rehearsal session. The day Scott showed up, he was accompanied by his friend Rob & Rob's girlfriend, Michelle. (Rob was Tim's bartending friend by the way...) Scott whipped out his classic Ibanez guitar with a nice Mesa Boogie guitar rig to go along with. When the band began to play, Scott quickly jumped in not knowing any of their recently written songs. The rest was history. Clearly, that band had found some talent, because Scott was totally on top of every song they played. He didn't underplay, nor overplay. He was good! So then all four sat down and talked about their ideas musically. Amazing as it sounds, Scott also had the same vision as the rest of the band. Family Porn was complete, and then began a long 6-month writing project followed by a 4 month bid in the studios. Family Porn was alive and kicking!
