-*My first real band was called "Noyz". My brother(Joe Bertrand) and I along with our cousin Scott Fugleberg played garage rock from 1990 through 1993. We also had Harry Smith from Portland, ND on Bass and our good friend Arden Rux on lead vocals. You can hear some of those songs on my myspace page called Projects Past and present at http://www.myspace.com/pastprojects We played a total of about 8 shows in those 3 years. "Noyz" ended up changing into "King Friday" in 1993 because of a lineup change. We hired Mike Holtz from Breckenridge, MN to replace Arden Rux. He was only 16 at the time, but he could sing his ass off. Hear his current band "Carmen the Cactus" at: http://www.carmenthecactus.com  We played one show at The Ridge in Breckenridge in 1994. Shortly after that show Mike had to leave the band, and we recorded some tunes with a local rocker Kelly Cordahl. Hear his current band at: http://www.myspace.com/identity5band  We also hired local drummer Scott Kronchnobel to play one show at the Frisky Goat in Fargo in 1995-ish. That one was caught on video!

 *My brother and I moved to Fargo at the end of 1995. That is when I decided to go out on my own and find myself a band. I ended up joining a Heavy Metal/Doom band called "Below" in 1996. Band members were: Chad Heille-bass(currently working on new recording projects), Nathan Pehler-Lead Guitar, Dave Johnson on drums(currently playing drums for Fargo's, Methuselah), and Myself-Lead Vocals, and Rhythm Guitar. I was hired to do lead vocals. Since I didn't have any real metal vocal expeiriance I ended up losing my voice every band practice for 3 months. 1997 came around, and we had to kick out our guitar player, so I stared doing both vocals and rhythm guitar. We played a bunch of shows between 1996 and 1999. We opened for bands including: Coal Chamber, Life of Agony, Skinlab, Pist-On(with Johnny Kelly of Type O Negative on drums), and Stuck Mojo. Dave left the band to play drums for Sons of Posiden, and Below broke up. Chad and I have done some recording since then under the name "Owen Coffin". He still has those recordings, but they have yet to be released.

 I also played lead guitar in a band called The Christopher Walken Overdrive. To hear some CWO music go to: http://www.myspace.com/thecwo. I played my last show with them on 6/21/08 b4 my wife and I moved to Binghamton, NY. Playing guitar for The Christopher Walken Overdrive was a cool expeiriance. It's great when you can hang with friends and write great music and laugh your ass off at the same time. Most of the band considered the CWO as a "joke band", but I always tried to take it as serious as I could so the tunes were at their fullest potential and just plain kicked ass. I'll always remember the times I had with the CWO dudes. They're a great group of guys and I love 'em all. On 1/31/09 CWO played they're last show to hang it up for good at the Aquarium in Fargo, ND. RIP CWO 2004-2009

I work for an independant contractor remodeling homes in Vestal, NY. My wife goes to Graduate school at Binghamton University studying history. I also sing for the Broome Community Collage choir. Currently we're rehearsing music for the spring semester concerts. The fall semester was fun because we got to put on a concert featuring the music of Beethoven with an orchestra in a church in Endicott, NY. I have no recordings of that show because recording of the show was prohibited. Otherwise, musically, not too much is going on. I'm slowly getting a chance to see some local bands perform, and to meet a few musicians in the area.
