How did you all meet exactly?
Electracey: “Me and Lillian met in a public Library over a decade ago during summer. We bonded over some book— couldn’t remember it if I tried. We’d become friends and hang out almost every day. Not that we did anything very exciting. Nearly a year after we met she tried to get me to listen to a song she’d written. It was god awful and will never see the light of day again— but it was a start of something. Not that it could anyway, I think the tape we recorded it on is far gone.
At the time I thought it was genius. She offered I play some instrument on her next song, even though I hadn’t an idea how to. She’d taught me the basics of guitar, though she didn’t know much more than I did. She wasn’t bad, better than me anyway. Haha!!!! And so— by the 9th grade, we’d made our first song together. It wasn’t good, not in my view anyway.
Essentially, it was an unofficial band of 2 kids. We were horrible and hadn’t a clue what we were doing.
In the 10th grade, Colin had learned the bass Guitar and kinda just— joined? Can’t remember how. I think we had him at a practice and he just, kept tagging along. Thank goodness for that!
I think we met Pheebs at a concert the same year. Who we went to see if far behind me now, but she was estatic— I’d told her I was in a band, and maybe she thought I was serious, but she wanted in on it.
Genesis was introduced to us by Colin in the 12th grade, and was more than happy to participate. She had been in band previously and was phenomenal at the drums. We really couldn’t pass up the offer! Before genesis we had been using an old beat up drum machine and we were in desperate need of a drummer!”
