BIO:
CHAINDRIVEN was formed in 2002 in Santa Clarita, CA by Vocalist, Mando
Medina; Guitarist,
Dave Dzaich; Bassist, Scott Herron; and Drummer, Bob Slattery. The
band was spawned when
Scott and Dave decided to start a metal band. After a few false starts
with various drummers,
they found Bob. He had just recently returned from Europe, and fate
had it that they would all
cross paths. After months of auditioning vocalists, Mando joined the
line up. He was fresh from
his enlistment in the military, and he was offered the job right at
the end of their first rehearsal
together. At that point, they knew the combination of all four
individuals had a certain raw magic.
CHAINDRIVEN's first full length, self-titled CD was released in
January 2008, and has just started
to create some buzz in the music world. The band's hard-hitting,
crunchy, driving sound has hailed
venues such as The Whiskey-a-Go-Go, The Knitting Factory, and The Key
Club among other legendary
stops along the Sunset Strip and surrounding areas. Most recently,
CHAINDRIVEN added a second
guitarist, Chris Neil, to the line up. His personal style rounds out
CHAINDRIVEN's unique jaw-clenching
sound. CHAINDRIVEN is currently working on their second album,
continuing to gig, and enjoying
every minute playing for their growing fan base.
