Why a 'Band That Never Was'
...what does the name mean?

The Band That Never Was can be traced back to 1978, when the members formed their first band with the idea to honor their love of the classic guitar bands like the Beatles, the Kinks and the Yardbirds.

Also mixed in were the first songs written by John Eberle, Randy Hipsher and Jim Kasper a song writing team from the same influences, all school mates in Mansfield, Ohio. From that single source a lifelong band was developed.

After high School, the band members all ended up in Columbus, Ohio. By the late 70's all found themselves writing and jamming together when Kasper picked up the drums. Eberle would introdpduce Terry Withers, a coworker, to the musical friends as a second guitatrist.

By about 1995, Kasper, Eberle and Hipsher, armed with the confidence as musicians and songwriters for 20 years, decided that they may never be a working band again. However, they decided to invest a bit more in some equipment and continue to jam, write and record.
They thought they could produce music that returns the baby-boom generation to their early rock' n roll, garage-rocking roots, while giving them and their offspring new songs with fresh content.

But a problem persisted, to the outside world that couldn't see them in their world, the Deadcat basement studio, they were a band that just never really "was". No problem... name 'it' just that.

The Band That Never Was hopes, with their first self-produced release 'Life's Little Lessons", you get a chance to hear what they hear and dream what they dream. We leave it up to you to be a judge if they are a band or not.

The songs are real enough.
