Judge for District Verdant

Chugging away in the songwriting paradise known as his bedroom, Joe Edwards found this whole writing thing surprisingly easy considering he had never really tried it by himself before. This was quickly followed by his first realization in the Summer of 2005: More noise=more fun. So he quickly set out to find fellow noisemakers. And find them he did. The finding part was easy. The keeping part?.......not so much. A few shows and a lineup change became the all-too predictable routine over the next few years. Then came the second realization: This band stuff is hard. Several years, name and lineup changes later, the band finds itself larger than before, with former bassist Lee Girion moving over to guitar and Citrus College schoolmate Vivien Leigh Laurena taking over on bass, while producer Aaron Wright mans the drums. With a demo and plans for an album in the works, a third realization came: this would be an awesome job.
