-- gods of the stage

all about them

finger eleven, a rock group based in burlington, ontario, was started when james black and scott anderson were still in high school. james, who played the guitar, and scott, the then-drummer, formed the band they called stone soul picnic. They got their friend, rob gobermann, to be drummer, and suddenly, scott got transferred onto lead vocals, with james, doing backing vocals and still playing his instrument. sean, scott's older brother, was recruited to play the bass, and they gathered yet another musician, rick, to play another guitar part. they formed the rainbow butt monkeys (they changed their name later on, obviously) in 1995. after winning a competition from a radio station, they were able to record their first album, letters from chutney, professionally. as their sound progressed and evolved, rob left the band and they got a new drummer by the name of rich. they worked hard to get where they are now, although it's not very high (their latest album hit gold in canada). they definitely deserve to be recognized for their talents.
