History of the band

Soda Jerk started out as a group of juveniles getting together when time permitted. We then adopted our current drummer Kyle. After many disagreements, we agreeingly split from Kyle. We then recruited another drummer who sometimes would fill in for Kyle. His name was Chris Alex. Together with Chris we played our first real gig. Before we had just played parties. Chris unfortunately had to move to Florida. The band had then reunited with Kyle (which was probably a good decision.) This is the way it has been every since then.

Soda Jerk Thanks:

The Head Honcho upstairs,for reasons that are self-explanatory, Wayne Toombs for wheelin' and dealin' with us for our equipment, Donna for putting up with the noise in her garage, Alline and Joey for giving Andy his first guitar, Kyle's step dad for giving him his drums, Eric's folks for his equipment, Shane for his help with the art work, fans, followers, and anyone who wastes their time listening to us. Oh yeah, and most importantly YOU!

Soda Jerk: Equipment

We all got new shit....!

Andy uses a Peavey Bandit 112 100-watt combo amp w/ a Peavey 5150 4x12 cabinet and also a Crate 4x12 cabinet. He also has a Fender Standard Stratocaster w/ a flame job. He has another Fender Strat with a chrome Gibson-style humbucker. He uses Dunlop .88mm Tortex picks.

Eric has a Peavey TKO combo amp. He uses an Ibanez Ergodyne bass, a Fender Precision bass, and a Series 10 bass. He uses Dunlop picks w/ the "no slip grip".

Kyle has a Pearl set (along with his little sparkly one). No cymbals..cuz he busted the one he had all to hell. Yamaha hi-hat stand, a busted up cymbal stand, Sunlite bass drum pedal, Attack drumheads, and usually uses Easton drum sticks, but he f#$%ed those up too! THE END

You guys must hate me for what I've done..I transfered all the SJ webpage stuff to FortuneCity.com - reason?  We needed more space!  It was getting cramped with the 2MB we had on ArkNet and I don't know about the rest of the guys, but I get clostraphobic (spelling?).  Due to the high bandwidth of FC and since our pages take a little while to load unless they're already cached somewhere, then you "hardcore fans" will just have to grab a coke and some Doritos (or any other snack of choice, Doritos being my personal favorite - Taco Supreme) while waiting.  Don't forget to submit some questions for the FAQ and sign our guestbook, and other cool stuff like that..if you want to and if you don't that's fine, too....it just means you SUCK!  :-)
