Hey, my name is Sal, I moved to Florida from New York sometime in 91. I am a very passive person. I can be a person that pushes my problems to the side at times, but I realize that also isn't the best way to go. I am always searching for answers to something. I love meeting new people, I love hanging with my band, I love chillin with my close close friends and I will do anything for them.
Personality in the band: the goofball, the optomist. the middle man. Bruce Lee fanatic #1

Skip (drums, triggers, vocals)

Skip Frederiksen...born 4.23.76
Origin: Toms River/Seaside, New Jersey
Resides: Florida, soon to be Riverside County, Cali Hobbies: Downinside, Dawson's Creek, MUSIC, weightlifting, computer geek shit, writing all sorts of stuff

Skip is the "quiet one" of the band... the writer, thinker, shy guy who never says much. He is a guy of many talents.. not only drumming, but also guitar, bass, singing, rapping, writing techno with Sal, plus a lot more. He and Scott are the founders of the band. Skip is the webmaster/designer of the Official Downinside Homepage which you can get to if you click this link. Skip devotes all his time and effort into the band and all sorts of musical projects, and when he has spare time he writes pissed-off depressing poetry, and watches Dawson's Creek and romantic movies like As Good As It Gets and Some Kind Of Wonderful. He is also a huge fan of Henry Rollins, and believes he's a lot like Hank. Skip is certainly cynical and bitter enough. :-) Contrary to popular belief, Skip is not that big of an asshole... he just walks around with an angry face (doesn't mean he's always pissed). :-) He's a kick-ass drummer, not to mention a great friend.
Personality in the band: realist, perfectionist, organizer, creative mastermind, the deep annoying guy, the "80's guy"

Scott(guitar, sax, vocals)

Scott Williams......born 10.22.77
Born: Virginia
Resides: Florida, soon to be Riverside County, Cali
Scott? He's crazy, fun, he just doesn't give a fuck! When it comes to being real, Scott is the king. At a couple shows you could see Scott wearing a clown suit, cowboy hat, suit and tie, hawaiian shirts, you name it. Scott is the type of person that isn't afraid to be a total dweeb, and he's also the type of person who doesn't know he's even being a dweeb while he's being a dweeb. :-) Scott is one hell of a guitarist and songwriter (in my opinion). He keeps threatening to leave the band for a country act (he's kidding of course, or is he?) :-)
Personality in the band: No bullshit, Straightforward, Lover email him at funkadelic@mindspring.com

Kidd-B and Shank Lyrical Assassins

Kidd-B ....born 2-24-77
From: Indiana
Now: Florida, soon to be Riverside County, Cali
Kidd-B, one of the two assassins, likes to smoke da ganja. Kidd is talented on the vocals and guitar as well as bass. Open-minded and always full of fresh ideas. He is the most assertive in the band. He stands his ground when he wants to be heard. *as well as skip* Personality for the band: Partier number 1. Most assertive. Brand new ideas all the time. Bruce Lee fanatic #2

Shank...born 6-14-76
Originated: Detroit
Now: Florida, soon to be Riverside County, Cali
Shank is the newest addition to Downinside, one of the best descisions the band has made. Shank adds a hip-hop touch to the band. Brought up on inner city hip hop in detroit, he brought his roots to our attention. Shank opened up the minds to let in more of the inner city rap style of detroit to the 4 original members. Shank is partier number 2. Shank, as well as Kidd, likes herb. The second most quiet one of the band. Looks and acts like a tough guy, but we have seen the tears. Personality: Quiet, Fickle, Assertive, Partier Number 2.

Any questions? :-)
