8IGHT PAST NINE
The story of Windsor’s "sonically rich and melodically driven" band 8ight Past Nine starts in September 2005 with two sets of best friends.
"We’ve been best friends since highschool," says songwriter/lead vocalist and guitarist Will Hawksworth of 8ight Past Nine co-founder Kevin Jarvis (also songwriter/lead vocalist and guitarist). "We’ve always been close. My dad taught me how to play and I taught him. Next thing you know, we started writing songs together."
Finding members who share a musical vision is always difficult when forming a band, especially in a border town known more for its Pontiacs than its percussionists. Fortunately, Hawksworth says he and Jarvis already had a mutual friend in mind. "Our drummer, Ken Money$$, has been a close friend of ours forever," he explains.
Meanwhile, two close friends and seasoned professional musicians, Chuck Arsenault (keyboards, backing vocals and percussion) and Todd Kidd (bass and backing vocals) had come off the road and were looking for a new gig.
"We met Chuck at a park," says Hawksworth. "He was walking around with a case for his trumpet, so Kevin asked him if he was a musician. It turned out that Chuck is a multi-instrumentalist, so we ended up jamming. And our bass player, Todd Kidd, is a close friend of Chuck’s, so he invited him to come aboard."
And so was born a talented collective with a penchant for vocally rich modern rock with uncommon maturity. "We’re recording our first full-length album at SLR Studios," Hawksworth continues. "We want to get our album out before we start aggressively playing gigs. And we don’t want to just play any place. We want to do gigs that matter. We want to be the real deal."
