Roundhouse Kick started out in late 2006 with Ion Ryan on the bass, Dan Cline on the drums, and Jim Knapp on guitar. They got together to jam and were finding that it was more than fun and decided to look for a singer. Brian Castle called Jim up and said "Hey, I heard you guys were looking for a singer and I'd like to come down and give it a try and see what you guys think?" We did and knew he was the right guy for the music we wanted to play! We got our first gig thanks to Andrew Harris, owner of Better Days Pub, and people really liked what we were doing. That got us motivated and we continued to play other venues: Shooters - Bolivar, NY - Wellsville Elks Club - The Country Inn - Shongo, NY - Maple City Bowl - Hornell... Every place we played it seemed to become a frenzy by the middle of the night and would continue till we stopped playing. In March of 2008, without knowing it, we played our last gig with our original singer Brian Castle at Better Days Pub. We lost our good friend and bandmate on April 6, 2008 and the world seemed to come to a screeching halt... Brian's sudden death made us all decide real quick if we wanted to continue on or not. We all agreed that he would want us to "ROCK ON" so we did! We jammed for about a year with an amazing Bon Scott sound-a-like, Stub Faye. Stub has since left the band and we continued on with Jon Taylor on February 21, 2009 as our new lead singer! Jon is a local Wellsville guy who, in his younger days, was in a band with Dan called "NIGHTMARE" and we are lucky to have found someone with his talent! Stay tuned as we commence to bringing you a live show that will 'KICK YOU IN THE BACK OF THE FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!
