Scott was the
driving force behind getting them together. The band went
through several incarnations... Culture Shock, the Swinging Richards,
Destiny's Child, and finally the denizens....
When the denizens
played a show at the Hard Rock Cafe' in Orlando, Rob, Greg,
and Josh saw
the band and quickly became fans. The three, who are lifelong
friends since preschool, formed their own band and soon found themselves
opening with their new friends the denizens. Each band split up in
1999, only for the five to form the new lineup of the denizens in 2001 and
made a six song demo CD.
The denizens
played several clubs in Melbourne and Orlando Florida. Tony
Mickle, a talented artist, left the band after Scott and Chris came home
from California. Scott and Chris stayed together until Chris
joined 3AE.
