| The band started in mid August, 1999. There were only three people in it: jeremy, jon, and some kid named ben parkhurst who played guitar. The band sat around in jons basement and jammed for a while but then set out to find a drummer a few days later. Ben Stoller was found at thier school in one of jons classes. Jon knew of him a little before the band started and asked if he still played. Sure enough, about three days later the group had a drummer. The band wrote thier fisrt song "Patsy" the fisrt time they jammed with the new edition. A few days past and they all became annoyed with Ben Parkhurst so they took his amp and lit it on fire, then wrapped him is barbedwire and threw him out the window of a moving vehicle. Parkhurst didn't return to the next jam, or the one after that, or any for that matter and the band never found out why. After the departure of "bimp" as he was known to his piers, the group continued to play. Months past and new songs were written offten. Most old songs they did are not preformed any more due to the fact that they sucked ass but amazingly enough, Patsy survived. Around Christmas 99', Ben Stoller and Jon were trying to come up with a name and through the opening of a dictionary and some fucking around, parbuckle was found. The name didn't stick for too long and it went undecided for a long time. It wasn't until recently that the name became official. In January 00', parbuckle was kicked out of jons house due to really loud noise. They packed up all the shit and moved to jeremys house. The first time Sam ever herd us play was at jeremys. At the time Sam was in another local band called throat lash. He liked the bands tunes but then was just forgot about for a while. April or sometime around there, jeremys basement filled with water and the equipment had to be moved so off to bens house they went. This is where parbuckle still jams to this day. In problably around June the band decided to give sam a shot at vocals for them. So Sam came and sang some lyrics to one of thier songs and some how became a part of the band. He remained in two bands for a while but then the drummer for throat lash took off for school somewhere and the bass player got angry with sam for playing with parbuckle. Soon after, throat lash was no more. Parbuckle played a show like three weeks later with thier new vocalist with red scare 149, tsunami bomb and boy kicks girl. The show went pretty well but stage presence was lacking becuase sam had to read some of the new lyrics of the ground. After a few months went by, like 11, parbuckle had a revalation and kicked sam out. Aparantly he wasnt on the "same page" as the other three idiots. The name parbuckle doesnt really seem to represent the music anymore but oh well. No one really likes the band anywho but at least now we may be able to find a sense of musical integridy. either that or just blow shit up. we will let you decide. just kidding you suck. |
