- Bio:
- BBCG started in 2008 in Chicago, Illinois. In mid-‘08, Omar Ortiz and Nik Vasilic began talking about starting a band with Omar on lead guitar and Nik on bass. Nik and Omar wrote some stuff that summer, but it wasn’t until that fall that they actually practiced. That fall Bradley Mojeski joined as the drummer and the three of them started writing. That winter, Omar recruited Griffin Koziol to sing but after having him sing some of Omar’s lyrics, the band decided he wasn’t what they were looking for and instead put him on rhythm guitar and Omar on lead vocals and guitar. For the next few months, they practiced constantly and wrote over 30 new songs. In May of ‘09, Omar began talking to Xavier Gurrola, an old classmate who had been playing guitar since like 2003 or some s***. Omar saw a potential lead guitarist in Xavier and began inviting him to practices and jam sessions. After listening to Xavier play, the band agreed that he would make a better lead guitarist than Omar and he was hired, putting Omar on rhythm guitar. At a recording session, they realized three guitarists were too hard to control and decided to let Griffin go, so in early 2010, Griffin left. With the band writing faster and slightly more complicated stuff, Nik and Bradley switched instruments in the spring of 2010 cause Nik could play faster and actually owned a drum set and cause Bradley could actually play bass. With the lineup finally stable, they got to writing more stuff and played some shows in late 2010 and early 2011 (One of those shows was a total disaster and we’d like to apologize to the people of Norwood Park for that. We’ll actually practice before the show next time). We’re influenced by Nirvana, the Ramones, Dinosaur Jr., the Sex Pistols, GnR, the Cure, Aerosmith, Local H, RATM, the Clash, Mudhoney, boredom, stupidity, space, confusion, fancy hats, itchiness, constant yelling, science, Baby Geniuses 2, and thinking.
