BIOGRAPHY

One fine autumn evening, Steve Babcock was attending a Sunny Day Real Estate show, who just happened to be touring with Spencer Jacobs' old band as an opening act. although Steve enjoyed the show thoroughly, he was somewhat familiar with Spencer's band [had heard of a couple of his previous projects during his Idaho rearing], and thus his main motive was to lure Spencer away to start a new project that would later come to be known as Hudson River School. Steve ended up helping Spencer get a job at his place of employment, and it just so happened that there was a very talented (said talent would come to be discovered later after a "second chance" had been given) young lad named Bobby Brinton who was head of the mailroom.

Spencer had a friend since first grade, known as Andy Patterson, and in fact, they used to play together in a pissed off (not really all that pissed off) straight edge band called Reality, in high school.

So, during the time Spencer was busy with his other band, Andy was filling in on drumming duties for the likes of State of the Nation, Bluetip, Sense Field, and Shelter, and after 3 official drummers, and about 146 "drummer auditions," steve, spencer, and bobby somehow lured andy to "give it a try."

Steve nominated himself as band president (approval by the rest of the band still pending). Bob is the "talent" of the band, and we're all gracious to be riding his coat tails — although we all tend to have good ideas once in awhile.
