Born Tucson, Arizona - June 1970.
I’ve been singing all of my life, my first instrument was the violin. I studied classical and Mariachi style, playing with “Los Changitos Feos”. (A preparatory for internationally renowned “Mariachi America”.) I got my first classical guitar for my ninth birhtday and fell hard and fast! I played with a few bands until “Superstition” in ‘87 performing into the 90’s and played with many others since. After taking a few years off for my children while they were young, I co-founded Revolver in 2007.
I have a degree in Advertising/Graphic Design, I’m working towards my BFA. My two greatest loves are my children (son Shelby and daughter Skye) and music. My musical influences are too many to list; the most dominant are Led Zeppelin and Heart. Frank Buchiere – Guitar Born Binghamton, New York - November 1953. I got my first instrument, a cello at age 9, first guitar at 10. Studied classical guitar for 10 years then discovered rock and roll! I formed my first band at age 12 and worked with too many bands to list over the years. I had my own business as a painter from which I recently retired. I have been married to a wonderful woman, Martha, for 35 years and have a beautiful daughter, Anna. My influences are many, including the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, Cream and any traditional blues.
Born Santa Ana California - June 1960
My father was a jazz musician, my Mother an opera singer. My first instrument was clarinet which I played from grade school through high school. Once I heard Alex Lifeson and Jimmy Page, I bought my first guitar; I was twenty-five. I have been a machinist for over thirty years. My musical influences range from Edvard Grieg to eric Johnson and many in between.I like candle-light, walks in the desert and Mexican food. "Never turn your back on a monster." – A. Lifeson Larry Cooper - Bass I have always had great love for music. I have been playing guitar for about thirty-five years and have been serious about playing bass for about the last four years. Before Revolver I worked with "The Volume Junkies", "Good enough" and "Impact"; all out of the Kitsap Washington area. I've been married to my beautiful wife, Kellie, for twenty years and we have two wonderful boys. I have many musical influences, Rush and Led Zeppelin occupy the top of the list. Marie hines – drums Born Kalispell, Montana - November 1960 My dad was a musician so it was natural that my three brothers, two sisters and I learn how to play an instrument. I was a resident of seven different states by the age of 11. My dad was gifted; he played trumpet, coronet, trombone, drums, upright bass and sang. The grass was always greener over there; so he left to find his fortune as a musician when I was about ten years old. I didn't see my dad again until ten years later. Needless to say he didn't find his fortune; however he played with Muddy Waters on occasion. I began playing drums at the age of 8. I played in school band and was in my first combo at age 13. I began playing professionally at 17. My two older brothers played in bands too. My oldest brother's group made a 45 record called Louie Go Home. I have played music in so many bands, mostly in Spokane, Washington. The last band I was in before Revolver was Snakebite from Port Orchard, Washington. Hard Rock has been my music of choice, consisting of groups like Blue Oyster Cult, Deep Purple, Captain Beyond and many more. Buddy Rich, Ian Piace, Dave Weckl, and John Bonham were, and still are great influences. I owned and operated a business for years. I have an Associates Degree in Engineering Technology and a degree in AutoCad. I have never been married woo woot.
