The Rise and Fall

The band formed when Rob (vocals) and Jason (guitars) finally, after several years of searching, found the right rhythm section, Harold (bass) and Shawn (drums). They brought down the house at the Grog and Tankard in DC two weeks later. For months the boys were hammering out great tunes however real life had to pump the brakes on Jason's musical exploits, and he moved to Philly to give the lawyers up there hell. Bret stepped in and after grinding the axe for a month or so the boys hit the road to show off their solid harmonies and rockin' jams. The rest is not yet rock-n-roll history.

They take some high energy music, add a little power (think extra raisin raisin bran), and present it in a form that will cause you to jump up and down, dance a little harder and most likely, spill some of your beverage. Take your cue from the ladies (or that vato loco from Georgetown) and bring your dancing shoes!

If you are not easily effected by high energy rock-n-roll, the music will have the aforementioned effect on the person jumping up and down next to you, so beware of flying liquids.

Fortunately for you, the band offers a 100% money back guarantee! If you are left unsatisfied and dry at the end of a Rise and Fall show, you can ask Tiny (the band's 400 pound manager and band security guard) about your refund. He will gladly refund the cover you paid to get in and change your diaper.
