Once upon a time in Citrus Heights,CA 1999, Chad Carlson and Ron Anton thought about starting a band. Chad played guitar and Ron played bass. It was only them and they needed other people. They talked about their band to their friends, looking for a singer and drummer, but they got nowhere for a while. They started making songs on their instruments and going to lessons. As time progressed, in 2002, Chad saw a kid from his old school: Josh Combs. They started hanging out a lot at school because Ron went to a different school. Josh didn't play an instrument at the time, so Chad asked him if he wanted to be the singer for the band. Josh was fine with that so he was the singer for a while. Then they talked about it for a while and decided they need another guitarist and that's when Josh got a guitar because he had previous experience and it sounded like a good idea. So Josh became their 2nd guitarist. They started to get good around 2002 and started writing music and making songs. They played in Josh's room sometimes, mostly in the garage. They couldn't really do anything about finding a surmmer and a singer because they didn't know anybody that did those things and it wasn't until high school in 2004 that Chad met Chris Fulmer and he played drums really well, so Chad talked to Josh and he thought it was cool. So Chris became Persona's durmmer. Then, on March 9th, Jordan White (one of Josh's friends) asks Josh if he can play with them at the San Juan Annual Spring Fever. It was at the last minute seeing as how it was on the 11th, but naturally he still said "sure". They had only one day to make up at least four songs to play and they took advantage of that time. When the day came to practice, they started playing. It was like magic, they were playing things left and right and pulling riffs out of their asses. Jordan just went crazy, and whatever Chad, Josh, and Ron played, Jordan made up drumbeats with ease and in 4 hours, they made 5 songs. Members of Persona realized that "this guy is good, real good." And when the time came to play at Spring Fever, they jammed like no other. With the exceptopn of technical difficulties, they were quite satisfied with their performance. Then, on March 29th, affter months of practise with Chris Fulmer, they thought it was time he leave the band. No hard feelings toward Chris, but they had found a new drummer. They asked Jordan if he would be the drummer of Persona, and he said "Hell Yeah". Thus, Jordan White was knighted the drummer of persona. And here they are... |
