Hoobastank




Hoobastank is an american post-grunge band best known for their crossover hit “The Reason” (2003) and by their continued success in the modern rock market.

It’d be easy to recap the career of Hoobastank: a couple of guys meet in a Battle of the Bands in Agoura Hills, CA, in 1994. They grab a bassist and a drummer, damn themselves with a weird band name, build up a local following, get signed, put out two records that earn accolades like “post-grunge ear candy”, release a monster ballad (“The Reason”), get nominated for three Grammys … well, we can go on. But here’s why you should really give a damn about Hoobastank, and their third album Every Man for Himself.
Seven Amazingly Fascinating Things About Hoobastank

1) Guitarist Dan Estrin has a great story involving brain surgery and a catheter.
In 2003, during the band’s tour for its multi-platinum second album The Reason, Estrin made a fateful purchase. “Everyone in the band rides street bikes and motocross bikes,” says the guitarist. “I was fucking around on a mini-bike that I just bought. I was riding one around after a show … and I smashed my head into concrete.” The result? “They had to cut my head open. I just remember, before the surgery, I had two fears: they’d have shave my head and I’d wake up with a catheter in me. So I wake up, and lo and behold, my head’s shaved and there’s a tube in my dick.”

2) There are flutes and seven minute songs on the new album (blame Pink Floyd).
If you liked the infectious pop-rock stylings of the last two Hoobastank albums, you’ll enjoy Every Man for Himself just as much, if not more. That said, Every Man does offer up some variety, even while maintaining the band’s core sound. The epic “More Than a Memory”, for example, features flutes, accordion, chimes and trumpets. “I was listening to a lot of Pink Floyd at the time, especially The Wall,” remembers Estrin. “I like albums, and songs, that take you on a journey, that almost come across as a movie. And that song definitely does - it’s like Floyd, the Beatles, and even tails off like “Sir Psycho Sexy,” that old Red Hot Chili Peppers song. I just like applying lessons from bands I admire.”

3) Did we mention the Journey influence?
Listen to “Moving Forward” and prepare to recognize a very familiar classic rock refrain. “We wrote that song when Doug was driving one day and heard Journey’s ‘Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ on the radio,” says Estrin. “We like Journey; we’re not huge fans, but I really liked that ‘na na na na’ part of the song.” He laughs. “I don’t think it’s stealing. We made it our own style.”

4) Music critics despise them. The feeling is mutual.
“The album comes out in April. I expect we’ll do some shows, meet fans, and have critics ready to tear it apart,” says Robb. “Honestly, I want to go ‘fuck it, it’s not for you, it’s for me and the guys in the band.’ If we’re happy with it, that’s what counts. We get a lot of shit because we don’t go out of our way to be ‘different’ … we’re just trying to be who we are. And that’s actually the theme of the album - being yourself.”

5) Speaking of message boards, you can find a lot of fun, weird stuff about Hoobastank on theirs… and some of it might be true.

* Dan used to be a roadie for Incubus.
* Chris worked in a plant nursery for 5 years.
* Doug and Dan used to be counselors at the YMCA.
* The name of the band? It’s the “H” in Jesus H. Christ. At least, that’s what Doug will tell you.

6) That’s a real drill sergeant on the album. He’s there for a reason.
“Born to Lead” features the barking cadence of Sgt. Dale Guy. “I wouldn’t want him there all the time, but he was cool,” says Robb. “The song was about people wishing and praying for things instead of doing something to accomplish their dreams. It’s about getting off your ass, and I think the Sarge added a lot to the song’s vibe.”

7) They recorded Every Man for Himself in a really backward, inefficient, grueling kind of way.
The band started work on the album during Hooba’s last mega-tour. Estrin would come up with musical ideas during sound checks, then record a demo later, hand it off to Doug for melodies and lyrics, and finally, fly home with the whole band to record the finished product during non-tour weekends. “It wasn’t an ideal way of doing things,” admits Robb. “But I think, strangely, it affected us in a positive way. Maybe it was the energy of being on tour, but I think the results came out far better than our previous two records.”

Vocalist Doug Robb met with guitarist Dan Estrin in a high school battle of the bands competition and decided to form a band. They recruited Markku Lappalainen and Chris Hesse to form Hoobastank. In an interview with Yahoo’s Launch, Doug Robb said the name had no particular meaning. “You’re going to ask me what it means. It doesn’t mean anything. And it’s really cool, it’s one of those old high school inside-joke words that didn’t really mean anything.” [1] Rob Bourdon of Linkin Park attended the same high school as the members of Hoobastank.
Hoobastank started playing gigs in their local area and, with their unique saxophone section headed by Jeremy Wasser, recorded a self-released album called They Sure Don’t Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To in 1998. By this stage, they had developed a strong reputation in Southern California. This attracted interest from Island Records who signed the band in 2000. The bands reputation grew further on tours with the similar sounding band Incubus who come from the same area of Los Angeles and Alien Ant Farm.

Hoobastank released their self-titled debut in November 2001. The first single was PlayCrawling In The Dark which was a breakthrough hit reaching #68 on the Billboard Hot 100, #3 on the modern rock chart, #8 on the mainstream rock chart and #1 on an MP3.com download chart in early 2002. The second single PlayRunning Away was even more successful reaching #44 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the modern rock chart, #9 on the mainstream rock chart and #3 on the MP3.com download chart. The Hoobastank album went platinum on the back of these hits and reached #25 on the Billboard 200 album charts and #1 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. The album also achieved recognition internationally with the album touring in Europe and Asia in support of the record. PlayRemember Me, the third single, was a moderate hit reaching #23 on the modern rock charts and #9 on the mainstream rock charts.
The band entered the studio in 2003 with producer Howard Benson who has produced records by P.O.D., Cold and The Crystal Method. However, recording was disrupted for a month when Dan Estrin was seriously injured in a freak minibike accident in August. Estrin had recovered by October and the band headed off on a Nokia Unwired Tour with The All-American Rejects and Ozomatli in November.
Their second album The Reason was released in December 2003. The first single Out Of Control was made available for download on the band’s website. Doug Robb says on the band’s website: “A lot of it is about asking questions or questioning all that people see. It’s not all about religion. ‘Out of Control’ is about that and about opening your eyes after being blinded by being devoted to anything.” [2] “Out of Control” would reach #9 on the US modern rock chart, #16 on the mainstream rock chart and #16 on a composite world modern rock chart (based on the US, Germany, the UK, Sweden, Finland, Canada and Australia). The Reason initially reached a peak of #45 on the Billboard 200.
The title track was released as a single in the first half of 2004. It became a massive hit reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (chart proof), #1 on the US and world modern rock charts, #1 on a world airplay chart in May 2004, #10 in Australia and #12 in the UK. The Reason album received a new lease of life on the US album charts reaching #3 on the Billboard 200.

Additionally, on 15 June 2009, the band played a prank on Iranian protesters and their supporters during the 2009 Iranian election protests using the popular Web 2.0 service Twitter and the shock image Goatse, featuring a naked man stretching his anus to a large size with both hands, with the inside of his rectum clearly visible. While thousands of protesters used the Twitter service to rapidly spread information on street level protests and the shocking behavior of pro-government militias and security forces, Hoobastank allegedly spread links to the image disguised as relevant news items and twittered them to thousands of their fans and followers. The punk rockers have since announced their satisfaction with the number of the political enthusiasts having viewed the image unintentionally (over 2 million, according to the site’s usage statistics). As of June 2009, Twitter’s verification system for celebrities has not officially validated either twitter account.

CHRIS FRAZIER



Christopher Ridgeway Frazier was born in Bethesda Maryland in 1967. By the time he was three years old he was turning the plastic wastebaskets over and playing along to stones records with wooden spoons he stole from the kitchen. Seeing his propensity towards banging on things his mom gave him his first drum kit at the age of five. Coming from a musically active family he was exposed to many forms of music and began playing professionally at the age of ten. He performed at high school dances, parties and sometimes a club if he could get away with it. His mother was a folk singer in the Massachusetts area so he traveled around with her while she sang in clubs, which primed him for life on the road.
Though junior high and high school he participated in concert band and jazz band as well as playing in his own projects. He went to Colorado University on a partial music scholarship and attended for two years until deciding to try out L.A.
Arriving in Los Angeles and looking for work, he answered adds in the music connection. He scored an audition with Steve Vai who was producing a project and eventually began working with Steve on his projects. Chris recorded on various recordings spanning from 1985 to 2000 including "Flexable", "Passion & warfare", "Firegarden" and "Living in an ultra world". Chris also toured extensively with Steve from 1992-2001 opening for Bon Jovi in 1992 to headlining the White Nights festival in Russia in '93 as well as multiple trips to Japan, South America and Europe.
In 1989 Chris was hired to perform on a record for Warner brothers entitled "Private life", A pet project of Ed VanHalen's and Ted Templeman. The record failed unfortunately but Chris was hired again by Ted for other various recordings like "Wayne's World" soundtrack, "Gremlins2" soundtrack and Tia Carrera's solo effort. The studio work was stimulating and sometimes making ends meet but Chris was more drawn to his dream of being in a band and touring and ultimately being creative without restrictions or boundaries. An opportunity came to work with Tribe after tribe, a South African band based in L.A.
The band had an alternative/world approach to their music requiring a percussive/kinetic drummer.
Chris worked with the band from 90-93,performing on "Love under will" (megaforce/atlantic rec.)
And toured America and Europe opening for Pearl jam and Saigon kick.
As stimulating and musically fulfilling, as the band was it was at odds with the big machine. The record company filed chapter 11 and the management was not far behind. The band wasn't an overnight success and couldn't survive the support team crumbling around it. Such is life.
After the split with Tribe after Tribe, Chris supported himself with studio work such as performing on "That thing you do" soundtrack and various commercials and Japanese projects and demos. He also co-produced and performed on two instrumental CDs with Doug Aldrich. Doug is a fiery guitarist with the same interests in rock and jazz from the 70s. "High centered" produced by Andy Johns is a exploration in soundscapes derivative of zeppelin to Hendrix while "Electrovision" is more Mahavishnu/beck influenced. Both on Pony canyon/Japan.
Most recently Chris played on Sera Masanori's new CD entitled "Twist songs" and performed with Sera for two exclusive Japan shows in October 2003.Also performing in that lineup was Marty Friedman ,Doug Aldrich and Roy Z. Chris also performed on Edgar Winter's latest jazz CD entitled "Jazzin'the blues", recent solo CD by vocalist Michael Sadler(SAGA)and nu-metal band Speak no evil's CDs "welcome to the downside"& debut self titled effort. Chris is also currently touring with Eddie Money and Edgar Winter.

Here is an update: Chris Just finished a very successful tour of Japan with "TMG" which stands for Tak Matsumoto group .The lineup is: Tak Matsumoto guitarist and songwriter of "the Bz, Eric Martin former singer of "Mr. Big",Jack blades bassist and songwriter from "Night Ranger" and Chris on drums.

Kevin James Labrie was born on May 5, 1963 in Penetanguishene, a town in Ontario, Canada. James' parents say that when he was three years old, he would walk around the house singing whatever songs were on the radio. Although he didn't get the words right, he could sing the melodies. Inspired by his father, James started singing and playing drums at age 5: "My parents say I was tapping on everything so if they didn't get me a drum set, I'd ruin the house!" When he was six years old, he was very intent on replicating different vocal styles and techniques. It was obvious that his voice was very mature for a six year old. When James was in elementary school, his teacher put him in singing class to further his training. Meanwhile, his father, uncle, and brothers were in a barber shop quartet, which James was made a part of.
Yet James' real love was rock music which he pursued by his early teens. By fourteen, James was singing and playing drums in several bands. However, James knew that drums were secondary to his true passion, singing. At eighteen, James moved to Toronto, Canada.
At age 21, he began vocal training with the renowned vocal coach Rosemary Patricia Burns. After working with several Canadian bands, James became the vocalist for Winter Rose, which almost signed with Atlantic Records. Then Pierre Paradis, who managed the band Voi Vod, approached James regarding a solo project with Aquarius Records. He also told James about a New York based band called Dream Theater who were looking for a vocalist. The rest, as they say, is history.
James' musical tastes are quite varied as he names Metallica, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Journey and Judas Priest as well as classical composers Mozart, Vivaldi and Beethoven as favorites. Influential vocalists include Steve Perry (formerly of Journey), Freddie Mercury, Sting, Paul Rodgers and Nat King Cole. James continues to practice with Ms. Burns and encourages other vocalists to pursue formal training.
Throughout his musical career, James has become one of the most well-respected and admired vocalists in progressive rock. As the voice of Dream Theater and guest performer on numerous side projects, James has helped to define the sound of progressive music for the next millenium. His incredible range and distinctive, intense vocal performances have earned him accolades from fans and critics alike.
In addition to Dream Theater's numerous studio and live releases (Images & Words, Live at the Marquee, Awake, A Change of Seasons, Falling Into Infinity, Once in a LIVEtime, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory, Live Scenes From New York, Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Train of Thought, Live At Budokan, and Octavarium), James has also appeared on releases by Fates Warning and Shadow Gallery, Trent Gardner's Explorer's Club and Leonardo the Absolute Man, the first Frameshift album (Unweaving the Rainbow), Ayreon's The Human Equation, as well as tribute albums to Rush, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and Queen. In 1999, James completed and released the first MullMuzzler cd, Keep it to Yourself to much critical acclaim. The followup, James LaBrie's MullMuzzler 2, was released on September 11th, 2001. In 2005, James dropped the MullMuzzler moniker and released Elements of Persuasion, the third and arguably greatest of his solo efforts. A fourth solo album is already in the works so stay tuned.
When not on the road, James enjoys camping, downhill skiing and reading. His favorite authors include Anne Rice, Dee Brown, Robert Utley and Forest Carter. James currently lives in Toronto, Canada with his wife Karen, daughter Chloe, and son Chance Abraham.

Jeremy Colson is drummer for Steve Vai.



He is a modern musician. Technicality mixed with a punk rock mentality… These words fully describe his musicial taste and his inner flair for music…

When Jeremy was a boy he picked up his first set of drumsticks and started his musical career, it was really a journey into music. At age 15 he heard for the first time about the rock giant Rush and his mad passion for the instrument fully developed itself. He grew older and so did his talent. Two years later young Jeremy was competing in natiomnal drum contest and won third place in the 1995 Guitar Center National Drum-Off.

At the age of 19 he joined the original rock band Dali’s Dilemma and enlarged his musical resume. There he took part in the constructing of the album Manifesto for Futurism and worked with Testament heavy metal guitarist James Murphy.

Jeremy is a great lover of all musical genres and was influenced by the sounds of James Murphy’s music, i.e. by punk rock and heavy metal. In 2001 Jeremy Colson joined Apartment 26 and rocked Ozzfest in the same year. Later Colson joined the Michael Schenker Group and made his contribution into the recording of its album Arachnophobiac. Around the same time Colson began working with the American guitarist Marty Friedman recording the instrumental album Music For Speeding, and all the songs were written by Marty. The album continues the exploration of progressive rock and Japanese pop music.

That fantastic guy worked non-stop, his musical resume grew along with challenges themselves. In 2002 Jeremy got acquainted with Steve Vai through a recommendation from Shrapnel Record’s mastermind Mike Varney. Soon Colson was already working with Vai in the studio, they tracked lots of material some of which took the shape of Real Illusions: Reflections. It is the first part of a multilayered menagerie of vignettes based on the amplified mental exaggerations of a truth-seeking madman who sees the world… Oh, never mind. Vai himself describes it as “one of my favorite finds”. Colson is still in his twenties, he is energetic and full of interest ideas. Currently Jeremy finished tracking drums for the solo album of Marty Friedman.
