Invane

In Oct 2007, Tedd convinced a co-worker (Tim) to join him and the band's original drummer as bassist and harmony vocalist. It only took a short time for Tedd to realize that he and Tim would be a strong combo for writing lyrics & music, and for working out arrangements for the group's songs.

In Oct 2007, Tedd convinced a co-worker (Tim) to join him and the band's original drummer as bassist and harmony vocalist. It only took a short time for Tedd to realize that he and Tim would be a strong combo for writing lyrics & music, and for working out arrangements for the group's songs. Tedd’s excellent lead vocals, matched with Tim’s harmony vocals complimented each other very well. After around 6 months of writing and practicing, The trio realized that they had hit a plateau that couldn’t be breached until they found another member for the group. One that could bring something new to the table. They spent a few months posting ads and auditioning various guitarists and drummers, but none seemed to fit what they were looking for. During that search time, it was also determined that the original drummer’s schedule and views wouldn’t work for his staying with the group. After a conversation with him, he mutually backed out from the group. Now Tedd and Tim needed to find two new members, rather than just one. At first it didn’t look good. This was Tedd’s second year of trying to get this group together and he was starting to loose faith that it would happen. But in June of 2008, they found Linn for the drums. Linn’s playing was clean and a strong co-foundation combined with Tim’s bass playing. Hopes started looking better. Now a guitarist needed to be found. In Sept of 2008, Jordan was asked to join as rhythm guitarist. Young and eager, he completes the rhythm section. The group continues writing originals. Oct 2008, we finally found our lead guitarist. Garrett Smith accepted the position. And we were glad. He had the lines we were looking for. The group is now complete. We estimate that we'll have our set ready to play for the public in the near future. We hope to see you all out there. UPDATE: At the 11-19-08 practice, the group decided to change the band's name. Originally 'Livinagin', the band's new name is "INVANE".
