SHOT OUT HOODS FORMED IN THE SUMMER OF 1995 WITH FRONT MAN DAVE HOOD AND MIKE MARTIN PLAYING LEAD GUITAR. WE SOON ADDED ADAM BOMB ON RHYTHM GUITAR, TO ADD A METAL SOUND TO THE MIX, AND NEXT RECRUITED OUR FRIEND RON,"DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR" KERNER TO PLAY DRUMS. THE VERY FIRST SHOT OUT HOODS BASSIST, WAS DAVE'S BEST FRIEND GROWING UP NAMED GREG BROYHILL. HE UNEXPECTEDLY HAD TO LEAVE TOWN TO BE WITH HIS NEW BABY UP IN MONTANA. WE QUICKLY ACQUIRED OUR NEXT BASSIST PATRICK, FROM A LOCAL BAND WE'D PLAYED A GRIP OF SHOWS WITH. HE PLAYED A LOT OF SHOWS WITH US, UNTIL HE STARTED TEACHING AT A SCHOOL AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY ANY MORE! SO WE PUT AN AD OUT IN THE SAN DIEGO READER, FOR A BASSIST... THAT, DIDN'T HAVE LONG HAIR, AND WASN'T INTO DRUGS, BUT MUST HAVE TATTOOS! WELL, MANY PEOPLE ANSWERED... BUT ONLY ONE FIT...HIS NAME IS JAMIE NICHOLS, AND HE WAS WITH US UNTIL HE WENT FROM AN E.M.T ...TO A FIREFIGHTER. BARNEY..OUR LONG TIME FRIEND, STARTED PLAYING IN OUR SIDE PROJECT BAND,"THE SUICIDE KINGS"..AND HE AND RON HAD GROWN UP TOGETHER , SO THE CHEMISTRY THERE WAS TOTALLY PHENOMENAL. WHEN WE NEEDED A NEW BASS PLAYER FOR THE HOODS, BARNEY JUST SEEMED TO BE THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. THE LAST, (BUT NOT LEAST) MEMBER THAT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET... IS, MAX PAUL ON RHYTHM AND LEAD GUITAR. HE'S BEEN WITH US FOR 8 GREAT YEARS! WELL, THAT COMPLETES THE HISTORY OF SAN DIEGO'S OWN HORRIFICALLY NATURED, SHOT OUT HOODS.
