In the eighth grade, Sean started a jam band named Liquid.
The other two members consisted of Shawn Meade on electric guitar
and Adam Mulhurne on electric and acoustic guitar. After a
few years together, Adam seemed to lose interest in the band and
began missing some practices. Adam peacefully left the band after
a few weeks of this.
The following
year, Sean and Shawn decided to play in the school's Battle of the
Bands. They had planned on having Nate Travis play the bass
with them and sing, but Nate
got an offer from another band and decided to play with them instead. With only
4 days until the show Sean was approached by Checho Goemes and Chris
Nespola. They had just lost their bass player and drummer,
and was hoping to play with Sean and Shawn. Their band was
called Butane, so the new unified band was entitled Liquid Butane.
The group ended up playing One by Metallica, a song from Jeth rul
Tul, and the Star Spangelled Banner.
After the show, Cecho stopped showing up to practice and was kicked
out of the band. Liquid played their next show at the High School
were they performes Adicus(original), King Nothing, and a song by Jimi
Hendrix.
