For now, the band is called Black Light - the only other choice (out of more than a hundred) that everyone agreed on, was Vertigo; but since then, another band's taken that name, so I guess we'll stick with this for now... We play mostly soft/hard rock, and alternative music - the kind of stuff we listen to. We cover other bands stuff, as well as compose originals.The band, at the moment, consits of:
Christopher Chang - rhythm guitar/bassKris has his own band, Kryptic, but for now guests with us - he and Chang alternate bass and guitar parts depending on what we're playing; so as you can see, we're in the market for both a basist and a drummer, and maybe a keyboardist as well! We all go to St. Mary's College, Port of Spain (Trinidad). We're looking for people who're into similar music, who we can get along with who live in the same area and are in the same age group. We don't really care how well or badly you play, whether you're male or female, etc. If you're interested you can email me at:
Kris Deen - guitar/bass
Christopher Chow - vocals
Andrew Spencer (me) - guitar

This next part is stuff from St. Mary's College Form Five Graduation, which was held on June 24th, 2000 at the Port of Spain Hilton Hotel in the main ballroom. Below you'll find some pictures and two MP3's of the songs we played; Slide, by the Goo Goo Dolls, and Time of Your Life (a.k.a. Good Riddance), by Greenday. We added and instrumental intro to Time of Your Life, which consists of parts of Fade to Black and One (Metallica), Wonderwall (Oasis), and a song we wrote, called Shattered. We kinda messed up on stage; the whole thing was a little fast, Christopher forgot the words at one point, and Kris was playing that solo so quickly he lost me during Fade... Then some parts were out of time... Ah well, hope you can at least half enjoy it! Just click on the files to download them. They are in MP3 format, so you'll need a program like WinAmp of Windows Media Player to listen to them.
Well, these are some pictures from the night - I didn't take many (certainly not enough - in fact I've only just realized I hadn't taken one of myself!), but here are some of them...Click on the image you want to enlarge.
Our friends that played before us - Imperial Paradox! (Or IPX). They stowed their regular instruments for the night, all doning acoustic guitars and mics for grad; from left to right - Ben (lead vocals and bass), Kevin (drums), Paul (guitarist), and Justin (guitarist).

Brianna and Justin, Candice, Jeffrey, and Brendan: "Hmmmmm..."
Timothy: Walks away from the camera.
Christopher: "Eh?"

And here, two shots of the band... LOL

the day...)
Well, that's pretty much it for now. Hope the songs didn't
kill your hearing or anything...
