Pop Punk / Rock / Alternative
A year or so ago, Face Harris and Jamie Davenport got together with one of their amigos buenos to start a band, and dubbed themselves "the Sloppy Aristocrats," which, as you can probably tell, is a name that wouldn't hold up. In any event, Face and Jamie alone knew that it was their inherent duty to save the citizens and non-citizens of the US from dreadful awkward silences, unbearable parties without msica, and "TBA" slots on venues' schedules.
The band began as a foursome composed of Jamie Davenport and Face Harris both strumming guitar heroically, Trevor Sewell banging the drums both literally and figuratively, and a bassist bound for college. Well, as it happened to turn out, the college-bound bassist of the Sloppy Aristocrats had to leave for college. Consequently, the band found themselves the guitar virtuoso, Branden Clements himself. This, in effect, enabled Jamie to take up the bass, but not the type of bass with fins.
After hanging-out all summer, taking extensive trips to Taco Bueno, drinking Capri-Suns at a rate of one liter per second, pilgrimaging to Warp Tour and writing a crap-load of songs, the Sloppy Aristocrats decided to change its nombre to Carroll Blvd., and the band was on its way to expanding their boulevard through Texas. The drummer at the time, however, was not clicking with the band literally or figuratively, so he was let go. This created a problema grande: for about every fifty guitarists out there, there is one good drummer, and the band found this out the hard way, going through untalented drummers, drummers that not only sounded like they were on drugs, but actually were, and drummers that thought getting off the couch could be considered an odyssey.
So, the lead guitarist at the time, Branden, decided that he was going to have to man the drums if Carroll Blvd. was going to stick together; therefore, they were now lead-guitarist-less. Since they were already playing shows at this point in time, they needed a fill-in guitarist until they could find a final replacement, which resulted in Branden recruiting the bassist from his other band, Chris Jessup. Then, something magical happened: Jamie randomly instant-messaged an old friend whom he hadn't really talked to since middle school, known only as Justin. They got to talking about music, and Jamie extended an invitation to him to go rock-out at his place. Justin then traversed Denton construction all the way to Jamie's house to jam, even though he had never even been to Jamie's house in his entire eighteen years of living, and did his thing. Despite the unexpected circumstances, Jamie saw something in Justin that he liked, and decided that he had to be the lead guitarist he was looking for.
The foursome played shows all over Texas, took a road/air trip to Houston, San Antonio and San Diego, and started to make their mark on the music industry. Unfortunately, Branden announced soon after that he had to move to a city with a lot of farm animals, but promised to return. Even though the exact transformation is unknown, Branden metamorphed into an Alesis. Thus, the present-day Carroll Boulevard was born.
Location: Denton, TX
