Ace's Down are a young rock/punk band out
of Calabasas, CA. They began in late December of 1999. Their
first performance was at their high school (home of Incubus).
After their first show together, they realized that they created
an incredible high-energy original sound and they vowed they
would save the spirit of Rock n' Roll and have a damn good time
doing it. |

Music
History:
|I started playing piano at age five and continued studying
some classical but mostly blues piano. I picked up the guitar
at 13 just jammin learning from friends, no real classical training.
I started writing songs when I was about 16, it was a pretty
interesting story. I had really no friends my junior year of
high school so I started writing songs about my sadness and
they weren't too bad. I reunited with an old time friend that
played drums, and I started playing guitar and writing songs,
After realizing my knack for song writing I focused my energy
to create positive pop punk music about life.
I love writing music everyone can relate to and feel like they
are a part of. Soon after I discovered my song writing ability,
my buds and I started Ace's Down, a high-energy pop punk band
that wants to stay true to the real spirit of rock and roll,
fun. |

Music History:
I
first picked up the clarinet andplayed classical music and began
my musical journey through life. I played the clarinet until
the start of junior high school. In the 8th grade one of my
friends introduced me to a new form of music, punk. Punk rock
revolutionized the way I thought and felt.
It was so fast that it gave me strength and it's lyrics about
being alone and trying to find oneself helped me through the
start of high school. I started going to different punk shows,
where bands like No Use For a Name headlined and I thought to
myself, "wow, how great would it be to be on stage like
them and perform." About the start of my sophomore year
I was introduced to two guys. One a brother of one of my friends,
and the other, Ian Scott. They wanted to put a little band together
for a school talent show. I jumped on the chance. By the way,
I forgot to mention that I picked up the bass guitar a year
before the two boys approached me. When we first got together
to practice I was a definite newbie to my instrument, but my
background helped me to pick it up quickly." |
