White Lie was a punk band from Redding, and the first band I ever played drums in. The sound of the band was really influenced by Redd Kross, The Germs, The Misfits, and Dead Kennedys. I can't say we were as cool as our influences, but we had really great time playing together and getting into trouble. The band formed in I think early 2005 and broke up in the summer of 2006. In the short time the band was around, it went through a bunch of line up changes. Not being a founding member, this is how I ended up in the band. When the original drummer got kicked out in the summer of 2005, I joined on drums after only learning how to play a few months earlier. In our time as a band we tried to accomplish as much as we could with our limited means and knowledge. We recorded a demo, played every where we could, got disqualified at the Civic Center battle of the bands, played Chico once, met some cool people, made some rad friends, and earned a little following. In June of 2006 things came to an end, though, when we suffered the tragedy of our bass player Julie passing away. After she passed, it didn't feel right to continue on, so we decided to disband. She is still greatly missed by us all.
Since the line up changed so many times, it would take too long to list them all, so I'm only going to list the ending line up.
