Aaron Anderson and Charlie DeMars were in a band together called Soccer Hooligans. After releasing their Self-titled debut album, Soccer Hooligans broke up, months before the "never-released " EP Thesis was due to be released. Aaron and Charlie then formed the band Power Animal with other local musicians one being Kevin McPherson a Local Jazz Bass Player who was hip to the fresh rock beats that Aaron and Charlie liked to Jam Down.
After a few shows the the Band broke down to a trio; Aaron, Kevin and Charlie. After a few more shows Charlie Quit His Job at a Corporate Clothier and moved to Los Angeles. Charlie Moved in with his Step-brother Steven Sellers who was writing Film Scores. Charlie was then introduced to James Marsters. Charlie had no idea who James was, but they all hung out together. Charlie and James were playing guitar and writing songs when they got the brilliant idea to form a band. James and Charlie played a couple shows together before they invited Steve and the remaining members of Power Animal to join the group.
So thats it. I hope you are all cool with that. It was a real emotional challenge for me to write that. "But it's not your job to be as confused as him."
