Chris Lott has been playing drums for 24 years. Around 1990, he began performing in local shows with a Somali reggae band. With the guidance of his mentor Ali Yussef Issa, he was introduced to many drumming cultures and traditions. These early influences would be the basis for his drumming style and philosophy. In early 92 he began playing in a rock band that would eventually become the Logan-based band, Homebrew. In 95 he would move on to help form Euphio Project another band from Logan, Utah. Around 1998, he had joined other players from these bands, namely Brad Wright (Orjazm), to form Good Gravy and later Fhuda. If you have ever been to Utah and enjoyed some local music, odds are you have heard Chris playing.
Cody "FunkMaster" Goodsell is the backbone of DJE BAND. Cody has played in Utah, Oregon, and Hawaii offering up his own style of rhythm and funk. Cody's musical inspiration drives the overall sound of DJE BAND and is guaranteed to make you shake your booty.
THE HALLOWEEN PUCTURES DO NOT SHOW CHRIS ON DRUMS. WE WERE STOKED TO HAVE RYAN RUSSEL FROM HK3 (FORMERLY WITH "FRAME OF MIND") FILL IN FOR CHRIS. CHRIS WAS NOT FEELING WELL AND WE NEEDED A COMPETENT DRUMMER TO TAKE HIS SPOT.
