| EVILHEAD EVILHEAD, was the main band for Tom Malatesta and Ian Price. EVILHEAD's main lineup was Ian Price - guitar and vocals, Ted Gordon - Bass/Viola, and Tom Malatesta - Drums. EH has a big history of its own. The beginnings of EH was the band, The Hellions. The Hellions only lasted two weeks, but from that group T.I.T.S formed. TITS consisted of three Hellions, Ted Gordon, Tom Malatesta, and Greg Hsu(lead guitarist). The addition of Ian Price completed the band. At first there were five, but the lead singer was dropped and the group remained a foursome. After about half a year, Greg Hsu departed the band, and another guitarist joined. The band began to take off from here, changing names constantly, no definite name was ever decided. Half a year after the formation of this, the group broke up, and TITS reformed with all original members returning. Then again, Greg departed from the band, and the three remaining members decided to give it a shot as a threesome. Ted, Tom, and Ian were EVILHEAD. The band began to write original songs, before splitting up in late January 2002. S.O.F The second band that contributed to the birth of Foreign Element was S.O.F, consiting of drummer Shane Maloney, guitarist Asah Eliades, bassist Derek Flicks, and singer Ryan Berkowitz. Asah later joined FE in February 2002. The fist beginnings of S.O.F was the band Cove, members Asah Eliades, Shane Maloney, Brent Brown and Evan Schroeder. The band never really took off, but members Asah and Shane stuck together, hoping to still form a band. Eventually, this happened. Guitarist/Vocalist Ryan Berkowitz joined the band, and Manufaqture was born. Then, with the addition of Derek Flicks on the bass, the band changed their name to S.O.F. Asah left the band in February of 2002. Present Bands Tom and Ian left EVILHEAD, and Asah departed from S.O.F. The three joined together with "bassist" Kasey "Ratface" Caban to form Foreign Element in mid-February 2002. What of the other members? Ted Gordon picked up his feet and joined with drummer friend Will to form The Pants. Members are Ted - bass/mandolin, Will - drums, Adrian Villalobos - guitar/bass, and Adam Murphy - guitar. Derek, Shane and Ryan on the other hand continued their band, becoming Brain Dead. |
