I n 1998, a local Cincinnati
band named Felony started to grab everyone's attention. The
band consisted of Alexx Fox on guitar,TJ
Allen on vocals, Kris Kasich on bass, and Eddie Mac on drums.
People were starting to notice this upcoming band, and the guys
in Felony thought the fun had just begun. But, as often happens
in many bands, egos within the band inflated at a more rapid
rate than the bands success could grow. Kris Kasich (KK) left
the band on bad terms. TJ moved back to drums and the band hired
a new vocalist. After all the inner-turmoil the band had suffered,
it seemed they could never recapture the magic they had created
with the original lineup. About 1 year later, the band broke
up.
KK and TJ went their separate ways and didn't
speak to each other for over 2 years. KK had been in &
out of bands that never seemed to get out of the basement.
TJ took to matching his musical talent with his spiritual
well being. He joined his church band.
After 2 years of struggling to find "the
right band" again, KK had all but given up. It was about
that time that TJ decided it was about time to find the spotlight
again. He took the first step to reconciliation by calling
KK with a, "let's get together and bury the hatchet"
message. KK agreed, and 2 months later KK & TJ were back
to jamming together again. Together they briefly joined Strange
Jane to play one show. But, KK & TJ wanted to do more
writing of their own, so they locked themselves in a basement
for 4 months to do nothing but write songs.
They took all the good times & bad times
they had ever felt in their lives and wrapped them into 12
songs. These 12 songs would become titled "Power of Sound".
TJ & KK would become known as Lost Cause. That brings
us to the present. KK & TJ have finished recording "Power
of Sound" and have recruited Hollywood Teaze/ Planet
Scream bassist, Bryan Mitchell, to play lead guitar. Teddy
Lee Whitaker has joined Lost Cause on the drums. And, Glenno
rounds the band off, playing the rhythm guitar.
Lost Cause is a now a full band. Look for
them in the clubs; these guys love to play live shows. Also,
they're all planning on working together on the next Lost
Cause CD in early-to-mid next year.
