God Van Rots Bio:
The band started in 2003 when Drew Campbell and Zach Hanz got together and formed it. Drew had played guitar for a while and Zach was also playing bass. Their first name was Roadkill. It really wasn't a band because there was no drummer or singer. Drew and Zach new each other because they were friends and lived next to each other. The band really got going when they got Corey Dement as a drummer. Corey was a friend and went to school with them. They wrote a couple of songs and played covers for bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush, etc. They then changed their name to Midnight Riot. All they needed was a singer so they got Eric Nava to sing for them just for the school Talent Show in 2005. That was their first "performance" in front of an audience. They played Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin and was the hit of the Show. Throughout the summer of 2005, they continued practicing and recruited Andrew Fernandez for keyboards. Andrew was also a friend and lived in the neighborhood. They didn't see mush of Eric so once again they were without a singer. They continued to practice and changed their name to Lost Cause. Corey quit the band at the end of the summer and Eric signed as drummer. They changed their name to DAZE. Santos Rodrigues recently started singing with the band and they changed their name to God Van Rots, which means, "God Of Rock" in Dutch. |
