TOP STORIES
That did not stop them. In 2007 they were to try again. It all started with a smoke and a question about Staind… ? That fateful day would become the day that Ethanol would begin. The day that bassist, Kort, was asked to join. Things were a bit shaky to begin with but the three continued to keep the ball rolling.
Next step was more members. The boys remembered Dubb (Kingdon) from their previous band and asked him to join. It was soon after that when Stick (Chase) was asked to take the mic, the boys started on their first songs (Sacrifice and Cure for the Reason) and things were gold! A mere 6 weeks later, Stick was removed from the line up and without a gasp of breath the spot was snapped up by Chris… Little did the boys know but the direction they were leaning towards was about to pull the hand brake up…
The boys dream was to be the next big metal band! But when Chris stepped in the mood changed, the boys suddenly just wanted to be themselves and do whatever came about. Songs started pouring out and the boys got offered their first gig. The nerves were working overtime and the boys were prepping themselves up only to have the best bang of a bands career at their first gig. Gigs came pouring in after that.
In November 2007, MAINZ broke up for the year and the boys all decided to take time off and go back to their hometowns, Chris to Methven, Kort to Masterton, Aidan to Taupo, and well Regal lived in Auckland, but the biggest move was Dubb. Dubb left the band to move to Aussie. We wish him the best and thank him for the things he did for us! So the band was over for 2007.
2008 rolled around and the boys all met back in Aucks to start the fire again. 2008 started with a bang and even though we aren’t even half way through the year, the boys have already managed to do a tour with REDLINE (www.redlinemusic.com) and play heaps of shows in Aucks, record 3 tracks and employ an amazing manager who has done plenty for them already.
