History

Serious Problems is a band that started with me and my friend Mike.  We are both in the band I Live With Zombies (www.myspace.com/ilivewithzombies) which has pretty much been inactive for the past four years except for the occasional show and a current recording project.  I was also in the band Botox Party (www.botoxpartyva.myspace.com) which broke up last November.  We also payed together in a band called the Randy Savages that survived a short life span from 2002-2003.  Prior to that I had lived in Cortland County, New York and had played in a band called Filthy Primates that lasted from 1995-2002, and Mike played  in other musical projects as well, Abe Lincoln being the band that preceded the Randy Savages.

We started this project at the beginning of the year, with the initial intention of learning a bunch of songs that I had wrote over he past couple years, simply to record them. We recently decided that we both had the time and ambition to play some shows as a two piece, so I booked a couple shows in New York and New Jersey.  Our friend Lewis (who also plays in I Live With Zombies) offered to play bass for the shows, and that's where we stand right now.  Mike and I just finished recording a five song demo this month, and at this point we are intending to keep learning and recording new songs, and hopefully continue playing shows.  If anybody is interested in booking us or doing a show trade please contact me (Chuck) at upchuckrecords_rovck@yahoo.com.
