-## The band
-
-Avenged Sevenfold – a critically acclaimed rock/metal outfit from California. Their first couple albums lent more of a hardcore sound, finding their way with tracks like “Second Heartbeat” and “Unholy Confessions” from the second record “Waking the Fallen”. What followed with City of Evil was a commercial success with songs like “Bat Country” and “Seize the Day” finding their way onto the radio. After which they put out another commercially successful self-titled offering. “Almost Easy” and “Afterlife” offering more radio play while “Little Piece of Heaven” was an absolutely GENIUS shock-rock piece allowing them to stretch their legs creatively.
-
-Despite losing their absolute creative force of a drummer – Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan - in 2009, they still managed to knock it out of the park with “Nightmare” in 2010. Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater offered his talents to finish and tour the record.

-**Why "The Witty Banter"?**
-
-One time I was discussing with my partner the idea of what a solo project would be named. 
-
-I've always hated the idea of being a "solo artist", using my name or my face as the front of ANYTHING gives me the ick (yet here we are, eh?). The point was brought up, that I seem to do better when there's witty banter.
-
-"Oh damn... What if when I played with people, the bill was 'So and So & The Witty Banter?'"
-
-I liked that idea for a name. What started out as a music project name quickly gave way to the fact that I do more than just music. Maybe "The Witty Banter" could be the entity for whatever I was doing. "Witty Banter Tech", "Witty Banter Music", etc.
-
-I set aside some of those "identity" reservations for this project. It was time for me to have something to present at shows, rather than a guitar case with shoddily taped QR codes linking to a poorly managed Instagram presence. 
-
-Who knows. Maybe I'll regret putting my ideas in the aether this way, but what's a little context for your parasocial internet rambling?
