RICH'S FILE

Rich began his musical career as a trumpet player in third grade.  He played all the way through high school.  When he was 15, he heard the lovely sound produced by Van Halen.  With Van Halen as his inspiration, he convinced his dad to buy him his first guitar for Christmas.  He took lessons for 7-8 years, and when he was 21, he joined his first band called Shouts With A Fist.  This was a cover band that lasted a shade under a year.  He then became the sound man for the band Toy Box and was on the road with them for about 6 months. He came off the road and formed a band named Little Dynamo and the Slit Lickers, an original punk band.  They played together for about a year, but then Rich was asked to join Casual 69 in 2004.  To give the readers a little 2MASS Denial history-- Casual 69 and 2MASS Denial played a few shows together.  In early 2006, Casual 69 came to an end.  After the break up, Rich was asked to join 2MASS Denial as their bass player.  He picked up a new bass guitar, learned to play it, and became 2MASS Denial's new bass player as of July 2006.
