The five members of The Strobe have been together for nearly two years, but their real musical experience did not begin until just a few months ago. This Classic Rock Cover Band is made up of: Guitarists Chapin Hurley, and Jake Hawkins, Bassist Greg Samuels, Keyboardist Colin Stevenson, and Drummer Robby Nolan. At age fifteen, these High School Freshman were featured in 98.5 KFOX's "Last Band Standing Competition" During this radio contest they were given the opportunity to play live on the radio. The exposure The Strobe has gained by winning the grand prize in this contest has provided many new experiences for this talented group of musicians. The Strobe is currently performing weekly at local restaurants, private parties, and charity events, and is looking forward to a number of future performance dates. The band attributes their success not only to their musical idols, but also to their parents. “Sure our favorite artists helped to inspire us, but our parents are the ones who put up with the noise” says guitarist Jake Hawkins. The Strobe started their musical voyage in a small garage in Los Gatos. After hours of practice, and a number of neighborhood complaints, what started out as a group of teenaged boys making noise, quickly developed into a tight group of very talented musicians. The Strobe is now touring everywhere.
