Here are a few 30-second demo clips that will give you an idea of how we sounded about halfway through our 3-year run.

Amy will always be our favorite Pharmacist. Despite her youth, she has a particular fondness for Pop Rock songs from the 80s. Amy served as our business agent, and booked most of our shows in 2011. Her influences include bands such as Foreigner, Journey, and Whitesnake.

In our final months, Andrew became our "go-to" auxiliary guitarist. He is a multi-project guy, contributing his chops to an up-and-coming group known as The Engineered Disaster (no website yet). His Classic Metal experience blended surprisingly well with our 80s Rock and Blues mix. Andrew is an Air Force Veteran.

Billy is still our main Blues fan, and after Dave left, he was our only remaining founding member from the "Free Range" band in Y2K. He also leads the contemporary Mass at Saint Gall Catholic church. Billy was our ambassador of good cheer. His influences include R&B and Blues giants such as Wilson Pickett, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Muddy Waters.

Bob embodied the essence of Classic Rock Lead Guitar. As another multi-project guy, you can still catch him playing with his other "Classic Roots Rock Americana" band, The Bootleggers (no website yet). Bob was our musical director.

Dave pulled former bandmates Billy and Gary together - along with newcomers Amy & Bob - in 2008, to resurrect Break Even. He selected our songs, booked our gigs, directed our arrangements, provided a PA system and a practice space, and whipped us into a semi-coherent band that he led until being sidelined for major back surgery, when our Canuck coworker stepped up to drum for us.

Derek filled in on drums after Dave went under the knife. He is yet another multi-project musician, providing the tempo for his excellent "dark rock" band, Metal Echo. Here is a local performance that Metal Echo did in early 2011. In his spare time Derek runs an Audio/Video Production Studio called Pistachio Productions. He is heavily influenced by the Alternative Seattle sound of the 1990s, which includes such bands as Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden.

Gary also plays in the contemporary service at Trinity Lutheran church, and has occasionally jammed with a few other coworkers (including Bob). He was also our webmaster, historian and "Aging Hippie." As a Prog-Space-Rock fan ever since the genre was invented, his favorite bands are Pink Floyd & Yes. Gary is a Navy Veteran.
