jeremy lucas (jerber) Bassist/Vocals . . .

Jeremy grew up with his sister and parents in Yorba Linda, often drawing cartoon characters that he would create. It wasn't until the age of 16 when he decided to pick up bass, practicing on and off, then after he graduated from high school, he soon joined a band called 'Hunting Season' (now called dark phunk). Because of creative differences or simple felt the chemistry wasn't flowing as he hoped, he left the band. He took a brief sabbatical after that and never really joined another band. He kept jamming with other bands or groups, in order to keep his love for playing bass going, but he felt the sessions left him with the sense that they weren't ever going anywhere.

In December of 2008, he gave the song 'Vaseline' by STP a try on a game known as 'Rock Band', who figured? While he was singing his sister came into the room with a shocked expression on her face . . . apparently he could sing and very good at that. He posted some want ads on Craig's list but never got any hits. While trying out some piece-meal bands in August of 2009, through an old friend looking for a bassist, he was ecstatic to get going again playing bass and now signing was to be in order. The no named group, with a flakey guitarist and no drummer didn't last much longer than a month or so, yet he felt the experience began to build his vocal chords. He didn't give up and kept on practicing and recording to improve on his new found skill. During that time he began to post his recordings of him on his bass and singing on Craig's list and Myspace hoping to find a band interested. He received some interest, auditioned for bands and even joined some bands but they all seem not to work.

Until then, all seemed hazy at best, however one E-mail received from a guy from a band called 'Brand of HERO', invited Jeremy to give them a try. . . Art Anthony (guitarist and lead vocals) with the band seemed interested and was looking for a bass player that could sing well. He wasn't looking for the best bass ever, just looking for a good one who could keep the beat going and could work as a team member with the band. Art was interested to see if Jeremy was willing to give the band a try, since bassist these days were hard to come by. . . At first Jeremy was hesitant because he knew his bass playing skills weren't the best in the world, but Art was persistent and Jeremy decided to give it a shot. While having grueling practices with Art and recently added drummer Christian Healy (C.J.), Jeremy felt that this band was a match. He like the music and the direction the band was going, not to mention the experiences that band had gained over the years, along with the challenge of doing good music. It looked like a fit and he knew he would grow with the band, pushing him to better his skills as a bass player and singer. Art and Christian felt Jeremy would work; as well, so Jeremy joined the band in December of 2009. While Jeremy is slightly limited in technical abilities for bass and singing, he makes up in passion for music and hard work. He will make a good team player and an asset for the band.

SIDE NOTES... Jeremy loves to make people smile. He always has a joke to say and loves to make people smile. Once he heard a man say 'There is no such thing as normal. . . That's the setting on a washing machine.' Jeremy took that to heart and made it words that he lives by. He loves to strike conversations with random people and makes it his duty to make a person laugh. He always has something to say and has a far from 'normal' look on life. He also has an unhealthy obsession with penguins. Just joking . . .? Jeremy has an online comic series called 'I Love to Boogie.' It has helped him develop his sense of humor and he hopes it'll make other people smile in an offbeat nonsensical way.
