My musical history...
Bermans & Arrival (1989 - 1994?)
Members:
Dan Cline - Guitars, 1989
Katie ? - Keyboards, 1989
Mysterious guitar guy, I think his name was Tim - Guitar, 1989 (The only reason he was in the band was to buy Matt and Dan Cline beer. However, I believe he wrote the main guitar rif for Anton is Dead, which was a pretty great song.)
Jason Moody - Guitars, 1990 (Replaced Dan Cline)
Matt Wilczenski - Vocals (1989 - 1994)
Scott Kallstrand - Bass (1989 - 1994)
Dan Wiese - Drums & Mandolin (1989 - 1994)

Okay, so the one really cruel thing about this poster is the bit at the top about the band being new and improved. I'm pretty sure this show happened shortly after we kicked Dan Cline out of the band. Pretty mean of us to say that we were improved.
