History
<br>
<br>
Chuck(also goes by carlos) was introduced to david in the seventh grade when talking to freind micheal about starting/ joining a
band.
That same day chuck asked david if he played an
instrument david replied "yeah. i play
cello."
That year on davids birth day david recived a bass from his dad.
So two months later on the 6th of july 2007 chuck and david recruited fellow guitar player alberto and davids freind tekla to join a band called "Seven Day Fall."
That year do to some problems with alberto being uncooperative S.D.F. broke up leaving behind nothing but a
casset of cover songs of
Fall out boy and
Blink-182.
<br>
<br>
<br>
In November of
2007 chuck and david ended up starting a new band "in the backseat." with new drummer kerina blue the band was ok but they were missing one thing, a 2nd guitarist.
<br>
<br>
<br>
so chuck gave out flyers at his school stating that in the backseat needed a 2nd guitar player only to get a response from bestfreind john saying that his brother shane plays all sorts of music especialy stuff by Nirvana.
To this day shane remains in this band but as a vocalist and rhythem guitar player.
Chuck posted a flyer at a local music shop stating in the backseat needs a drummer.
and got a reply from a lady named bendan blue saying that her daughter plays
drums.
the band was so desperate or a drummer they did an interview over the phone and was impressed with kerinas
style and skill. later that month, Kerinas sister juliana gave i.t.b.s. a variety of names that were requested for the band to change to due to a lot of other bands named in the backseat.
The band was afraid of
copyright laws so they changed the name to Downtown Slick.
The band borrowed the name from kerinas sister.
