we used to be TRUStY.
but now we are YAMA BANDIT.
get it?
here is our old bio....
TRUStY is a visionary rock band from new york city. for just about a year now, JAIK MILLER (gtr/vox) and MARCO FERRERO (bass) have been working as a duo, playing shows from coast to coast to coast (their first gig was at THG present new orleans jazz fest 2005 ) with everyone from Richie Havens to The Mutaytor. with the recent addition of MAX TUCKER on the drums, TRUStY is quickly becoming the hottest buzz in new york. After a recent trip to the west coast (where TRUStY appeared on an episode of the hit USA network series MONK) they joined forces with Max's friend, lefty guitar player GARTH MACALEAVEY to do a show at the legendary Kibitz room in Hollywood and one of the world's great bands was born... TRUStY is fresh out of the studio with GRAMMY nominated producer MATT STEIN (DMX,GOOD CHARLOTTE) working on their first release, "The Corrections". This record features guest performances by TODD STOOPS (raq), MEGHAN ANDREWS, JONAH SMITH and JP BOWERSOCK (RYAN ADAMS).
***note: this record has been shelved for the moment in favor of new material. if you or
