Bishop and Anthamatten were
friends through their jobs at
Tom’s Barbecue and decided to
jam together.
“I like this band a lot better,”
McKenzie said. “It’s a lot different
h orn Lost Prophets. We seem to gel a
lot better.”
Anthamatten said he anticipates
some good exposure for the band
through North by Northgate.
“It’ll be cool to get us out there and
let people see how bad we suck,” he
said. “I’d rather people know we suck
than not know us at all.”
Bishop agreed that North by
Northgate is a good opportunity.
“It’s about time,” he said. “Hope
fully, it’ll add a spark to the scene. You
gotta start somewhere.”
McKenzie said the band is set to
play around the same time as
Philadelphia’s popular alt-rock band
Huffamoose, so drawing an Aggie
crowd may be a challenge. An
thamatten said getting students to
see a live band in Bryan-College Sta
tion is a challenge in itself.
“We’ve got a lot of good friends —
well, we’ve got a lot of bored friends
with nothing to do,” Anthamatten
said. “Drawing a crowd of people
who don’t know us might be hard.
The people we don’t know are all out
at Shadow Canyon and Dixie Chick
en doing their redneck thing.”
Anthamatten said he would like to
see North by Northgate develop a lo
cal music scene and unite the area as
the South by Southwest festival has
done for Austin.
“This could ebb over into our arts
and music program,” he said. “This
could encourage directors to pump
up the arts at A&M.”
Bishop encourages music fans to
check out the band’s Web site and
look at the artwork displayed by Once
Again Productions. He also has some
advice for local students.
“It’s time to get over Titanic and
get into North by Northgate,” he said.

The band members have
hopes of a future in music and
are set to start looking for out-of-
town gigs.
Local musicians speculate
that North by Northgate will
open many doors for them.
“There’s a lot of great bands out
there but a lack of publicity,” Pul
ley said. “But times are definitely
changing for this place. Who
knows? Maybe tilings will change
after North by Northgate.”
Pulley recommends music
fans see Chris Duarte and Blue
Earth. And, of course, he wouldn’t
mind seeing some friendly faces
at Crooked Path Friday night.
“We’re a diverse band, and if
you have a wide range of inter
ests, you oughta check us out,”
Pulley said. “Throw down the
groove and a beer.”

Fans have responded well to the band’s debut album,
which is being distributed across the country. The band
also is featured in this month’s edition ofTexas Monthly.
Austin recommends music fans who have bought
passes to the festival to rotate between'
ble Dave’s and Cow Hop.
“Between Atom 12, Slow RooseveL
there’s some awesome bands,” Austin si.

“Well, I’m out to prove them
wrong and prove them wrong in a big
way. In a few years, I hope to be
known as one of the best harp play
ers in the world.”
Drummer Will Nunez has quite an
impressive musical background, in
cluding stints as the Clyde Bros. Circus’
drummer and a house drummer at a
Bourbon Street club in New Orleans.
“ I feel like I’m finally home with
the Reckless Panhandlers, no matter
what the final outcome,” he said.
Lead guitarist Mark Thomas was
playing three-chord surfer tunes by
the time he reached high school. 1 le
was playing with another band
when he met Goodin.
“We were all moved by the power
and passion of his songs," Thomas
said. “We knew he was the one.”
Andrew Asare, bass guitarist, was
introduced to music in Wales, Great
Britain and Ghana, West Africa. Influ
enced by Bob Marley, Asare was in
spired by his “spiritual message and
positive vibes” and moved to the States
to attend Texas A&M. Asare brings
African, jazz and reggae to the band.
