I got my Myspace layout from pYzam.
 Churn was started in 1991, in Norfolk, Virginia. A three piece, who has been compaired to Dinosaur Jr. and Husker Du. Churn played @ The Independent Music Festival in NYC (2000) - also was featured on a CD released by the IMF ( only 10 bands were choosen ). Churn got a great offer to record with J. Mascis- "DINOSAUR JR."@ his home in Boston. I guess this all came about from hanging around after DINOSAUR JR. shows and talking with the band through the years, and having Noel - the Soundman (and the "BEST" Soundman ever!) @ The Continental Room in New York, who is a personal friend of J. Mascis. Noel was always very nice to us and would spend time talking about our music as well as giving us advice every time we came up to play. He thought we would really benefit by putting us in touch with J. Mascis. Scott (Churn Guitarist) and J. Mascis tried through several phone calls and e-mails, to set up a recording session around J. Mascis and the Fog's Tour schedule, but unfortunately it never could get ironed out. Maybe we will have another chance? Churn was really close to heaven!

Churn also received a good review for "Lo Fi Kareoke Night", in Alternative Press. Churn got alot of support from 96X (WROX FM - local radio station) - especially from Kristi M., Nick P. and Mike P. And Bill Bass back in the day.! A big "THANK YOU" to Rick M. @ The Norva - for giving us such a good show to play ((THE STROKES)). Churn was also sponsored by "Red Bull" from 1999-2002. Scott was the only one who really would drink it though!

About two years ago, Churn recruited a long time friend and very successfull Bassist, Darryl Lewis. Darryl previously played with "Combine" (Caroline Records), and they kicked butt! Before Darryl, Churn has had a couple of really good Bass players through the years (( Jason Gay - NINEVOLT PEN PAL and LUNKHEAD 76 )) and also ((The Rev. Darbe Warner - Black Jesus, The Apostles)) and last but not least - Chris. Thanks to all of their efforts.
Now life has happened and we now have families! Churn plans to pick up where they left off this new year 2007.
