Meet the Heathens!

Well let’s see, it all got started like this…

At the time only one of us was actually playing in a band Donnie was playing with the band Locked & Loaded, it was way back in late 2018. Joe was in the process of getting back out there after he had taken a few years off from playing live music following the loss of a life long friend/band member from his previous band. During that time a hurricane came through & caused a lot of damage in our hometown. While looking for gigs Joe heard about a benefit concert that Donnie was putting on to raise money for hurricane relief that was the day Donnie & Joe met. As luck would have it the band Donnie was playing with was coming to an end. So Joe & him decided to see if they could put something together, not long after that Donnie got a call about a gig & they had 3 months to get ready for it! They tried a few bass players but none of them had what they wanted. Donnie said he knew someone that’d be perfect that he used to play with but he wasn’t sure if he was still playing or not. In walks Ronnie Latham, they played 1 song together & they all looked at each other they knew they had something. Turns out Ronnie & Donnie have known each other their whole lives, Ronnie actually taught Donnie how to play drums & they were in the band South Whiskey Road together for several years. So there was some history there, so really all Joe had to do was mesh with them. Right away they got to work putting a show together & from the start they started working on original songs. About a month before they were supposed to play their first show they threw a party & played for a couple hundred friends after that it was on & they ended up playing 2 more gigs before they’re initial “1st gig” & they’ve been going strong ever since!!!
