It was a packed house as the band 'After The Dust' held their CD Release Party, this past Saturday, July 19, 2008 at Castaways on Boy Scout Road in Bay City.
It was 2005 when five different guys from five different walks of life joined forces to bring a new, refreshing taste of good old rock-n-roll. With a broad spectrum of influences coming from many eras of great music, and their creative passion which fueled the making of this new CD entitled, John Doe.
Band members agree, it over a few months of Sundays, through the dead of a Michigan winter, in a basement with the heat turned off, with numb hands the band laid down 19 tracks of raw rock-n-roll.
After The Dust Is:
Chris Crawford - Lead, Slide, Rhythm Guitars
Eric Davenport - Lead Vocals, Guitar
Korey Gillespie - Lead, Rhythm Guitars
Greg Leaman - Bass Guitar, Background Vocals
Chad Winters - Drums

Gift Certificates Giveaways

The opening band for 'After The Dust' was special guest
'Peninsula Rising'. Chris Childs, 25, lead singer, grinned and said, "I call our music alternative crash bang or sloppy rock." Childs went on to say, "After the Dust members are good friends of ours and we've played gigs with them before, so we are happy to be here tonight to celebrate their new CD release."
