The overall frustration over the band's seeming disability to make it to the next level has led to personal conflicts between the band members. This happened the weekend before they were supposed to go into the studio to record a 4 song demo for Warner Bros. After the group was dissolved, Chester remained friends with Scott Harrington and would receive demos from him every once in a while. He was so desperate he called him up when he was still in Texas and told him he would be sending the music and the original songs for the singer to sing over them.
Kerry came through at the cost of his job with the remaining members of Grey Daze. Xero's previous singer, Mark Wakefield, couldn't perform live because of a really bad stage fright, so they were looking for a new singer. Following Grey Daze's break-up, Chester took on jobs in restaurants and coffee shops to pay the bills while trying to find a new band that could match his ambitions.
The rest of it is history. If music had not happened for him, he was capable of doing anything he wanted to do. He was very smart. He could been a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer.
Scott called Chester, who at the time really wanted to quit music all together after a bad band audition for Kongo Shock in , [15] and told him about a band he thought "could really go somewhere. The next day, on a Friday, Chester then received a tape. One side had vocals on it and the other side was just instrumental.
Chester listened to the instrumental side first and was really impressed, it was different from anything he had heard.
However, when he flipped the tape over and listened to the songs with vocals he started to have some doubts about it. He turned it back over to the other side, and started singing the parts and thought to himself "I can do this. Something did tell me that, yeah, this is the one.
This was the golden ticket to get inside Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! Chester called Jay Kereny of Lemon Krayola and asked if he would help with he tracks they sent him. Jay, his brother John, and Bart Applewhite of Kongo Shock learned the songs, Jay helped Chester with the melodies and they videotaped the session. The three musicians were playing together in a band called Size 5 at the time. Sam recorded this amazing work of vocals and history was born. Chester threw a 23rd birthday party for himself the next day but skipped it to record the demo of his vocals over Xero's music.
He called Mike Jones, who handled engineering and production work on No Sun Today , to use his studio, but said he didn't have much money.
He charged a hundred dollars an hour. Mike then called his partner, Ghery Fimbres, who met with Chester in a late Saturday evening at the studio.
Ghery transferred the cassette to a track-2 inch-tape, cleaning it up as much as possible, and set up a Neumann U, a pop filter, and a headphone rig to start the recording.
Chester went home and called Jeff Blue who was back in Los Angeles on a Sunday, asking when he could come out. At first, Jeff didn't believe Chester had actually finished the tracks in such a short time. Jeff told him he had to listen to the recording first, but Chester refused to send it via mail because he wanted to be sure he was going to listen.
Not only Chester had sung Mark's parts but also added his own flavor to them. Every crack of his voice had a story to tell. It was iconic, genuine, vulnerable, urgent, beautiful and hit you in the gut.
Chester was working in technology, at a digital services firm that was taking maps of newly developed local sub-divisions and scanning them to put the entire county library of maps on 13 discs.
The doors were open at 11 o'clock and Chester met Jeff in his office. In Los Angeles, there was a magazine called Music Connection in which the band had announced a vacancy. For 3 days, [26] they frequently had to interrupt the rehearsals to let other people do their audition, even though they had already started writing new songs with Chester.
Chester tried to convince him to do the audition, but he said "There's no fucking way I'm going back into that room. Singing after hearing you sing, there's no way!
If they don't take you call me up we should start a band. Prior to meeting Chester, the band had been auditioning for a new singer for 4 to 5 months, [28] meaning they had started while still performing with Mark Wakefield. One of the people who auditioned for Xero was Boris Bouma [25] of the Dutch progressive metal band Frozen Sun, [29] and who would later be known as the frontman of the American band Epidemic.
A new name, "Hybrid Theory", was suggested by Joe Hahn after the mix of styles they brought to their music. So they scrapped most of the songs they had and started working on new ones.
Our goal is to bring seemingly distant elements together. As Mike pointed out, the two had very different upbringings. They took great care of us, and I feel like I had a good upbringing, and Chester had a very dysfunctional home system that he grew up in. One of the things that made our not only our friendship really strong, but it played into the music.
It was peanut butter and jelly. We were so different, and I had a way of, as he would describe it, writing the things that were on his mind. Chester was still in the process of developing his own identity as a singer.
We would work on new material. It was '99 maybe, or '98 and we'd work on new material and see what directions we could push his voice. At the time he was still developing his own identity as a singer. And I say that because when he would sing a new thing, he was very good at imitating somebody else's style and he would often fall into his favourite singer's style, even to the extent that he would accidentally form words with an accent. With the addition of a new vocalist, Jeff Blue invited all the label reps who passed on the band to watch them rehearse one by one and every one of them passed on the band again.
They thought that what we were doing was too different. For instance, our music's not really that 'party-oriented'; we're drawing from different elements in hip hop like Black-Eyed Peas, the Roots, Common and Mos Def a little more dark, a little more intellectual. Dave Farrell's involvement as a member of The Snax prevented him from writing or recording with the band.
Before Chester came in, Dave left to go tour for what he calls "one very long year" closer to a year and a half and was replaced by Kyle Christener of Waffle, who would play some shows in California and Arizona as well as label showcases before being kicked out of the band and joining the band Nosedive.
More recently, he has played with The Hobo Code. Touring without him, the balance of personalities in the band felt like a constant nagging issue. We knew the chemistry was off," said Mike about Dave's absence. Before the band settled for Kyle, they played a few times with another bass player named Andrew Lanoie. At the time, Lanoie was in the interview process for a job as talent agent at William Morris Agency. So I started working through ads in the recycler, which was all pre internet really, back then.
And so started playing with this one band.
