Smells Like Seattle

In late 2013, Todd Gatchel and Tommy Pinello, two guitarists from the South Florida area, hatched a plan to create a tribute to the Seattle rock groups of the early 90's. As fans of this era, they took their time in assembling a group of musicians who could help them accomplish this goal. It didn't come together without some bumps in the road, with turnover happening more often than they would have liked.

Perseverance paid off for them when they landed Jeff Irving for the lead vocalist spot. Then, around late March of 2014, still searching for the right drummer and bass player, they posted a want ad and were rewarded for their patience when a drummer, by the name of David Callari, contacted them and scheduled an audition. David seemed a natural fit for the vibe and culture of the band, and quickly settled into position within the group.

They also auditioned two bass players at this time, and finally decided upon Geoff Campbell, a talented bass player, who once again, fit in perfectly with the other four musicians.

So the line-up had solidified and now it was onto the arduous task of deciding on songs and rehearsing them. The band decided on a varied set-list that includes music by Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. They also have added some other groups, that may not have been considered directly linked with the music of those aforementioned, but were nonetheless part of that era, and had similar music styling such as Screaming Trees, Foo Fighters, Mad Season, and Temple of the Dog. And they add more songs every show!
