Gebler -
Bassist and backup vocals
Well
it feels stupid trying to write about yourself and your
music. While Mickie tends to pick on me. I got two words...
IDIOT BLINKER. Want a funny story just ask Mickie what it
is like to wake up hung-over in a boat in the middle of
a lake in a foreign country. Well enough funny stuff. HI.
My name is Grant and I am a so-cal kid. I love all things
creative. I have been making music all my life. Played the
piano for years. The alto sax for three years. Even can
hack on drums and percussion. In eighth grade I bought my
first acoustic guitar for $30 from Casey a member of the
band Shadowdrop (www.shadowdrop.com). I immediately started
taking lessons. That Christmas my parents were cool enough
to buy me a black Washburn electric guitar. That was it.
I was hooked. I played in a few small bands through out
high school and after. Back when Bow actually still had
hair. Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 judged our battle of the
bands. We got second. Eventually all the musicians I knew
had moved a way, stopped playing, or are too messed up on
drugs. I moved up to Isla Vista, California in 2002. I did
nothing but play guitar, eat at FreeBirds, get wasted and
play Frisbee golf. One night while watching a crap band
play. I had a drunken epiphany. I hadn't played in a band
for years and I realized I missed it. So I returned back
to Encinitas to recover and regroup. I had met Mickie at
his work when picking up my sister from work. Later on we
started jamming at the open mic at Fat Katz. The first time
I went over to Mick's house his dog bit me. I don't know
if the dog is retarded, didn't like me, or was jealous that
Mick was stealing his hair style. I knew from that point
on we had a good thing going. I played bass for awhile.
I guess Mickie thought I was smart because of my enormous
cranium. Boy was he wrong. Eventually Rob left, and the
lineup changed. So I finally got to switch over to my favorite
instrument, guitar. That lineup didn't last long so now
we are a three piece. The rest is history in the making.
If you run into me I am very quiet and reserved. But, please
say hello and introduce yourself. I hope you enjoy listening
to us as much as I enjoy performing for people. ENJOY!
