GOOD RIDDANCE from the beginning…

1986 Russ-vocals, Rob Land-guitar ,John Burnett-bass, Rich McDermott-drums

Russ agrees to sing for the fledgling band. They play mostly Sex Pistols covers. Russ suggests the name "Good Riddance," it sticks. The three musicians were formerly known as "B.O.S.P."(Bunch of Skate Punks) and "Union Carbide." The band performs for the first time at a squat house party in Santa Cruz around Christmas time.

1987 Jason Fitzmaurice fills in on vocals at a party while Russ is out of town. The only performance without him to date. Jason later filled in on bass (one show) and played second guitar for a short time in 1988.

1988 Rich and John move to Lake Tahoe to work at a resort and snowboard. The band, having committed to some shows (including a San Jose date, the band's first outside Santa Cruz), recruits drummer Jade Dylan and, from thrash band "Rude Awakening," Luke Pabich and Ken Frank on second guitar and bass respectively.

1989 Rich plays the last show of his first stint in the band in June at the Watsonville vets hall.
Rob breaks his wrist skateboarding at Derby park. Luke fills in on guitar and Jade plays drums for the remainder of the summer.

1990 Andrew Jackson joins full time on drums. "Rude Awakening" breaks up and, on new years eve, Luke asks to join permanently on second guitar. With a stable line up, the band writes a slew of original material and records it's first "demo" tape.

1991 Citing musical differences and apparent lack of interest, John is asked to leave the band. He is replaced by Devin Quinn. For similar reasons, Russ and Luke ask both Rob and Andrew to leave the band. They are replaced by Brian Gilliam(2nd guitar) and Jade Dylan(drums) from the now defunct "Vicious Midgets." Jade quits the band abruptly in the fall and things come to a sudden halt.

1991-93 Lack of percussionist puts G.R. on hiatus. Russ and Luke start a new band called "State of Grace" with Russ on bass, Luke and Rick Adams(ex-Rude Awakening) on guitars, Chris Henderson on drums and ex-Rude Awakening vocalist Will Keene. The band records a "demo," completes two mini-tours, and breaks up. Brian Gilliam finished out with band replacing a disinterested Rick Adams. Luke and Russ continue to actively seek a drummer and write G.R. material throughout this period.

1993 Original drummer Rich McDermott is coaxed out of retirement and G.R. goes back to work. A New "demo" is recorded. It's called "Loaded for Bear" and the band sells many copies at local stores and through a mail order ad in Maximum Rocknroll. Reviews are positive and a small label out of Austin,TX called Little Deputy records releases the "Gidget" 7"-the bands first vinyl release. Devin is replaced on bass by Tom Kennedy of now defunct "Backwash." G.R. does it's first touring going north to Seattle and east to Houston. Russ and Tom join a new band with two of Tom's ex-Backwash bandmates (Rye Crowen-guitar and Aaron Sonnenshein-drums) and Joe Clements (ex-Schlep!) on vocals. Tom plays bass and Russ plays second guitar. The group finally settles on "Fury 66" as a name.

1994 Aaron quits "Fury 66" so Rich fills in on drums. The two bands now share three members.Tom quits G.R. to concentrate on "Fury 66" and is replaced by Chuck Platt (ex-Basic Math and Self-Infliction). G.R. begins "negotiating" with up and coming indie label FAT records.
In the fall the band records "Decoy," a 7" and their first FAT release. Later they go into the
Studio with engineer/producer Ryan Greene and record "For God & Country," their first full
Length album. FAT releases it in January of '95.

1995 Rich quits after G.R.'s first U.S. tour in the summer. Tony Palermo (Ten Foot Pole) fills in on a follow up tour of the U.S. and Canada. The search begins for a new drummer, ending in the fall With Sean Sellers joining just in time for a co-headlining European tour with label mates "Tilt."

1996 The band records and releases "A Comprehensive Guide to Moderne Rebellion" and follows it up with tours supporting "Down by Law" in north America and "NOFX" in Europe as well as their own headlining tour.
