Assignment 3:Band Biography
Our band name is 26 chromosomes we play alternative rock. Our band members are Katie (singer), Marcos (drums), and Josh (guitar). Our first album just came out this year 26 Chromsomes. We meet in high school and played in band and choir and we decided to do the talent show together everyone went wild in the crowed and that's what made us decide to become a band. We have been working on getting a record deal for about 5 years now we started our band in high school and when we graduated began playing at small park events and clubs. One night we were playing at the Funky Monkey when Mark our record dealer saw us and decided to have a meeting with us and release our new album and decided for us to go on a tour around the United States called Evolution. So we can gain fans and they can get to know our band and our music. Our most recent concert was at House of Blues there was over 100 people there and tickets cost 15 dollars a piece. The concert lasted 2 hours we opened for the Weezers and made enough money to get new amps.
