| Stephen Bradley: |

Phil Jordan left the band to go back to school after recording Tragic Kingdom. He was replaced by Steven Bradley.
He hails from Richmond, CA; the only northern Californian in the band. He grew up wanting to play the drums but was turned to the trumpet
after his High School band had no need for a drummer since they already had three. Little did Steve know that it would be so hard,
"-I knew it only had three valves so I figured it(the trumpet was simplistic enough and would be easy to pick up...it's one of the
hardest instruments to play."
When given the choice of touring the world with a rock band or something as waiting tables he would most definitely take the world tour. When he was asked by a fan "Isn't this great?(no one noticing him @ the concert)", he just shook his head no. I think that they really deserve some credit and more recognition than they get (which seems to be next to none). His advice to those struggling musicians out there "Sell out now so you don't have to sell out later." Gabe and Steve appeared in the Green Day song, "King for Day" from the album Nimrod in 1997. *Special thanks to Michael McKeany for writing the bio. |
