Music Everyone Hates

      Here is all the info about the

ingredients of our musical recipie,

or in other words, get to know the members

of our rag tag band, Pardigram. We are from

awesome Lakewood Colorado, 

History:

We started out as Short Lived Sundown with Ben (on drums), Theo (backup guitar), and some other members, but as the name predestined, that endeavor faded away slowly into the night as Ben picked up a guitar and started playing with Theo. After several months (more like a year), and many origional songs, we made an acoustic demo for our first big show @ the Gold Crown Field House. A good time was had by all, and realizing that we had made a splash there, we felt we needed to complete our sound. For a while, the focus switched to Theo's band 5centsshort preping for the even infamous Jingle Jam at the Link. That was a ridiculously good time, so count on there being a 2nd anual this year! So anyway, after the Jingle Jam, we sought out long time friend John, and recently aquainted Zak (who has ridiculous potential)and started jaming some of the old songs in John's basement (which has been home to like 4 seperate bands) so we've kept playing together and have technically only been together for like 4 months.

But we can still tear up the stage just as

 good as any other angry possum. What does

that even mean? Well, i do know we have alot

more fun on stage than an angry possum,

cause it probably wouldnt be having any

fun, plus all of those cords and wires

would probably shock it alot....poor guy.

       What do you want to know about me? I go to Lakewood HS, Im a seinor. My B-day is Dec. 31st 1986 (caloo calay). I enjoy playing extreem hak (that means we try to do as many outrageous tricks as possible, like running up the walls to kick it out of a stall...) extreem ironing, skateboarding, writting music, dressing up like napoleon dynamite, shoping at thrift stores, makin art, i like the color pink, juice boxes, fazolis (we have a song that we sing to the breadstick lady), im also a drummer but dont tell anyone. Im a devout Catholic, our youth group is about the craziest bunch ive ever seen who i know isnt on drugs. And if you dont like God, well, thats too bad, but we can still be friends. My musical intrests include: Blindside, He Is Legend, MewithoutYou, Dead Poetic, Showbread, Underoath, The Used, Story of the Year, Mae, Coldplay, Switchfoot, The Smiley Kids, and I have recently been rockin with some oldschool Jazz....there are so many other good bands like kaddisfly, deathcab for cutie, modest mouse, to name a few. I play an Epi sunburst Les Paul, and John's snazzy Godin (and soon i will have my own custom made super tele). HA! I run them through a Line 6 Spider II 210. It rocks my socks off. I also play an Ovation acoustic.

Lakewood HS Seinor. B-day 2/17/87 Hi I'm Theo! I,m a devout Catholic just like my rockin friend Ben to whom without this page wouldn't exist. I enjoy many things such as skateboarding, snowboarding, golfing it up at elemetary schools, iron boarding down steep hills, playing hacky sac in crazy ways, writeing funny songs and many other songs. Heck ya I want to become a professional foosball player. I like music of course, making it and listining to it from rockin bands like The Weakerthans, Eels, Screeching Weasel, The Mr. T Experince and The Bouncing Souls, to name a few of them. Shoping at the DAV and various other thirift stores, eating at Burgers Plus, and being with family and friends. I like this girl named Katie, thats just because she's so cool and likes God, no way me too! I head up our brother band, 5centsshort. Ben drums and sings backround vocals in that band. I plays a Black Ibanez that has lots of cool stuff on it like a pinwheel, legos, stars and a photo. It runs through a 65W Kustom Quad amp.  More info soon, I'm not done yet, belive me.

aka Johnski (thanks for the unoriginal nikname crystal!)

Lakewood HS Seinor, B-Day 2/26/87 I enjoy stuff that is enjoyable........duh. I also am very into art and in addition to drums i play enough instruments to fill in for anyone else in the band if need be. I listen to the queens of the stoneage, alkaline trio, my chemical romance, placebo, the bravery and the used (my full list is too big for your browser to handle). Its been awesome adding my musical tastes with the rest of the awesome awesomeness that is Pardigram. I have full rule over the entire lower floor of my house (band practice central), which includes an apartment, its like +1500sq ft, ben is jealous. I play a bright orange, natural Pearl Export set with a bosphorous ride, paragon crash, and various other accessory equipment. You likey? i bet you do. ummmmmmm.......what else do you want? go read zak's bio why don't ya.
