Ishmael Dummy(Lead Guitar):

Ishmael here is a master of being witty and fast. He can make you laugh or make you stare at his incredible guitar playing. He's a fast learner and a real heartbreaker so look out ladies! This is not the first band he's ever been in. His other bands are One Way Ticket, which is a zaney ska-core band with wacky lyrics and catchy riffs. And the band is so far from what you would expect him to do its hilarious but he's in Fat Nick's Fish which is.. Well.. chaotic spazzy noise type stuff...

Alexander looks different, but yet sooOOo dreamy..

IP(Bass/Vocals):

"IP" is one of the best bassist around. He has been playing for many years and is self-taught. When he was in high school he used to play the saxophone for the school band. Then piano and bass on the side. He has filled in for several bands such as, Steve Cooley's All-Star Jazz Ensemble, Violent Society and even some crazy Irish band. His speed and agility is fantastic, he is definately eye-candy when he hits the stage.

IP is so handsome in this shot






The Big Black Sugar (Vocals):

"The Big Black Sugar" has a voice that can travel through concrete. It's so powerful that you almost have to question yourself if he should even use a microphone at all. He's been singing for many years and it's only getting stronger. He also sings for the funky-jazz band Atomic Jazz as well so check them out too. His lyrics are almost as strong as his voice so listen up when you hear him.

Cal looks very..umm..fruity?

BAND BIO:
EDENPARK IS WHAT A MODERN ROCK BAND SHOULD BE, AN INSANE MIXTURE OF MUSICAL TALENTS AND THE POWER AND ABILITY TO PUSH A SUPER-DIFFERENT STYLE. ALL BANDS THINK THEY HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL THAT MAKES THEM WORTH THE PUBLIC'S TIME AND MONEY, EDENPARK IS NO DIFFERENT. HOWEVER DECISIONS MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ABOUT THE BAND'S DIRECTION HAVE LED THIS ECLECTIC CREW DOWN MANY MUSICALLY EXHAUSTING AND MORALLY TRYING ROADS.
THROUGH OUT THE YEAR (7 YEARS IN APRIL) THE BAND HAS PLAYED MANY INCREDIBLE SHOWS WITH LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACTS. THE POINT OF THE BAND NOW IS TO CONQUER OUR LITTLE PIECE OF THE MUSIC SCENE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO SEE THE WORLD AND HAVE GREAT STORIES TO TELL. SOME BANDS HAVE ASPIRATIONS FOR MTV OR OTHER CORPORATE VENTURES. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE PAY FOR US TO RECORD AND TRAVEL, BUT THIS BUSINESS HAS TAUGHT MANY LESSONS THE GREATEST OF WHICH LIFE IS NOT FAIR. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO SELL OUR SOULS, BUT WE ARE WILLING TO SELL THIS MUSIC AND LOOK BETWEEN THE LINES TO FIND THE TRUTH.

Frankie C. (Rhythm Guitar):

"Frankie C." the psychotic bassist from the spaztic band Fat Nick's Fish is the newest addition to our band. Not only is he a fast learner, but he's a fast guitar player as well. Like most of the band members he is a very skilled player and a bandslut. He used to be in a few bands like The Regects and he does things with a reggae band on the side as well.

Frankie C. looks scary here, but oh well.

Stewie Stack (Drums):

"Stewie Stack", the infamous speed demon from the band Fat Nick's Fish finally entered the demented world of EDENPARK and he's gonna destroy anything in his way to get to a drumset. This beast has been playing drums since he was very young and he is self-taught as well as most of the members of EDENPARK. Also like everyone else in the band he is a bandslut, his other bands he's been in were The Militia Sticks and Thee Sporadics.

What a patriot..

LBJ (Backup Vocals):

"LBJ" has been a fan of EDENPARK for years, bascially since the beginning and when they asked him sing backup vocals he was honored. Though he seems dorky, there is alot of rage inside of him he needs to thrash it out on a microphone. He has his own band as well called Trixx, he plays bass and backup vocals for them. He has a solo project as well called Utter(as in ooter) Squizism. Every once in a while he also has bands play in his aunts basement, he calls it The Spine. Plus when he's not rocking out he is making websites, like this one you are looking at now. So this is a very busy boy indeed.

The one on the left is LBJ
