NorthBound

As my first story on this site, I wanted to remember the old band that I used to be a part of that I remember fondly. We began as just three friends in High School. Well two of us knew each other well before High School. But it began with the want to just play music. The three friends got together and just played music. Granted two were very well trained musicians and the other taught himself after college as something to do. You'd think that it wouldn't sound that great, your classic garage band but I'll tell you, we were the real deal. The three of us began playing and it sounded magical. Now one of us began as a drummer. He was very prolific as a drummer. He actually did a whole drum battle on stage with another kid. The other two were just your regular bumpkins who either taught themselves the guitar or had their father taught them guitar. But when we got together just to jam and play cover songs, something sounded quite good. We were truly something to behold. We had many different band names included CNL or even Saco River but we finally decided on NorthBound and we made our debut in a Beverly house gig. We then played at the Scala Center in Georgetown and it was the height of our career. Not only was it our best gig but unfortunately it was our last gig. Here is the youtube videos of the concert and I truly believe had we kept going we would have done great things. We even started writing original songs and they were damn good but things happen. Life gets in the way but at least we have our memories. LONG LIVE NORTHBOUND!
