Many members came and went during these 4 years and Kirk even formed a second band called "Streetlife" in which I played bass for a time when Larry Dean was in seminary school. I don't have pictures of everyone that was in the band but I will list them.

original Members include: Troye Shanks, Kirk Einhorn, Larry Dean Gander, Steve Hass, Rich Robertson & Jon Giegerich.

Night Life   1986 -  1993 

Gary Huebing, Julius Geisser, Troye Shanks (1986)

The beards are fake. I painted them in late one night with photo touch-up ink. We did, however, all have facial hair at the time of the photograph. 

Ralani Seefeld pictured in the jacket was not part of the band but just happened to be in the studio at the time this picture was taken. 

 

  This was the last time we were all together before Julius'  untimely death in August 1993. This picture was taken by John Beth at 3am in his living room. We had just  played the Cashton Fall Fest and went to John's for pizza and story telling. I think we watched the Charlton Heston & Brian Keith movie "Mountain Men"

Troye Shanks Band  2004 -2008

 

TSB -  Tim Bredemus,  Troye Shanks, Don Harms

 The "Troye Shanks Band" started out as a jam session and ended up being a revolving door of good musicians every weekend, with me being the only common denominator,  that is why it was called "The Troye Shanks Band". 

List of participants in TSB ....... Troye Shanks, Don Harms, Tim Bredemus(pictured)  Ron Vogel, Steve Ostrowsky, Dave Liddicoat, Frank Adamo, Jim Dimattia, Paul Kennedy, Dave Katchel, Bill Lund, John Phillips, Pete Mickelson, and more if I can remember. I have a problem with that from time to time .
