User:Morphine FX

Morphine FX is a punk rock band formed by Dave Gaunz (Bass & Lead vocals), Pancho (Guitar & Vocals) and Yuri (Drums) who got together in october 20, 2006.

The band has been created in 2004, but since that day things have changed a lot.

Influenced by others bands like The Ramones, Green Day, MxPx, Anti-Flag, NOFX, Rancid, Millencolin, Whole Wheat Bread and more, MFX is a band with three punk-rockers and only one goal: To bring punk music back and go around the world playing their music.

This band is working hard and will record the first demo in the summer of 2007 to show you all that a new generation of punk is coming.

If you want to know what happened exactly since the day that everything started in 2004, please read the information below.

Everything started in the winter of 2004, when Dave Gaunz and Crazy Gaby, his friend, descided to start a band together. Dave would play the bass and Gaby the drums but they needed someone to play the guitar. So after a few months looking for one, they found Pancho and he became the guitarist of Morphine Fx.

But then, they started to have problems because only 1 week after Pancho joined the band, Gaby moved to Terrebonne and had to leave them so the band did not have a drummer anymore.

Dave Gaunz and Pancho talked for a few days and finally descided not to give up and continue without a drummer till they would find another one.

In these days, starting a new year in the highschool in 2005, Dave Gaunz and Pancho were only playing covers of other bands with a bass and an acoustic guitar, and you guys have to know that the sound wasn't really punk-rock (lol)... Anyway, after 2 months practicing, Pancho finally bought his first electric guitar and then Dave started to work to make their own songs.

With 10 songs finished and ready to learn, they took their time to practice while they were looking at the same time for a new drummer.

December 2005, Max got invited to be a new member of Morphine FX as a second guitarist, but they had the same problem than with Pancho because Max didn’t have a guitar.

Dave and Pancho descided then to show Max all the songs they had already finished so he could learn and when he would buy his electric guitar they could make new songs and continue with their way in the music.

After 2 months, in february 2006, Max talked to Dave and Pancho about his good friend, Phil A.K.A Yuri, and asked them to invite him to the band so he could be the new drummer. And they accepted !

But then, once again, the problem wasn’t only that Yuri didn’t have a drum, it was that he had never played before.

In May 2006, Phil .A.K.A Yuri got his first drum. But that month, Max had to leave the band. Dave and Pancho realized that they didn't need a second guitarist and told Max that he had to leave and Morphine FX would have only 3 members. Now Max is a good friend of the band and the #1 fan !

In the summer of 2006, They had more than 20 songs, a guitar, mics, a bass, a drum and the only thing they needed to do for the moment was to wait for Phil to bring his drum so they could start practicing.

In October 2006, Morphine FX had their first practice with Yuri, they thought it was time to bring the drum to Dave's house and try to help yuri to learn how to play drums. Pancho knew a little bit about drumming so he helped Yuri a lot. They started with a cover from MxPx (Self serving with a purpose) and after a long practice, they finished it. They played the same song all the week so Yuri could learn it perfectly and the next week they started to work and show him their own songs. Now with a a lot of songs already finished, they will keep practicing to record their first demo in the summer of 2007 at a friend band's label called KickFlip Records.
