LAKE WORTH SHOW!!
We're the kind of band you would have to be drunk to appreciate, stoned to enjoy, and asleep to listen to. But damn, we know how to party.
We don't give a shit about making money, we don't give a fuck who "HEADLINES THE SHOW", we don't need ridiculously expensive equipment to play good music. ALL WE WANT IS TO BE HEARD. We're down to play anywhere, for anyone, any amount of people. Book us. Play us. Fuck us. Doesnt matter. We stay alive.
STRAY BOMB was created in April of 2004.
The founding members included Roberto Richie, Pedro "Puto" Ontiveros, Chris Clemente, and Jayme Selman. Many of shitty local shows were played before we gained the opportunity to record a 2 song demo in 2005 - which included the original "Midnight On A Park Bench". These were the days of teenage ignorance, fun, and Hideout shows, where local gatherings seemed more like family reunions than unorganized ska shows. During the Hideout days, our following grew to a reasonable amount, and our listeners became more than just our friends. In the summer of 2006, "Seis Horas" and "What Equality" were recorded through RAS productions to complete a mediocre 4-song EP appropriately labeled "Better Off LIVE!". We were still the original line-up of members, playing and expanding throughout the 561.
John Guerrero (Routine Scheme) soon replaced Jayme Selman on drums for a brief period due to uncertain reasons. In 2007, Jimmy Ammons (The Kim Basinger Band) became the official drummer, while Chris Clemente renounced the guitarist position. More kids began listening to us, and the majority of our present day songs were written and recorded as this 3-piece setup - the STRAY BOMB FAMILIA had begun!! As December of 2007 crept around, we recorded our original, brand new 5 song Southern Disaster EP with Treehouse Records, where we remain now and proudly represent!
Rob "Tito" Regan became our permanent drummer in the spring of 2008 due to Jimmy's incapacitation of the wrist. With a new line-up, we began playing ridiculous amounts of shows thus forcing us to become a solid, consistent band. In 2008 we went on TOUR with ROUTINE SCHEME twice - Southern Disaster Tour & The Three-Day Three-Way. Pedro, found true love while on these tours, and has since moved away to live the life he deserves, in happiness and comfort. Once again Jimmy Ammons rejoins the band as our bassist, completing the Familia! The stories we carry through all our experiences can never be told in one sitting. We arent just your average reggae/punk band. We hate to be commercialized, categorized, or labeled. We never play the same solos, never sing the same harmonies, never play the same way. We thrive to be unconventional and different, yet still entertaining enough.
Berto does the songwriting, lyrics, and riffs.
Tito arranges and constructs, organizing the songs.
