In Theory

Through a jungle of cement and asphalt, divided by hills, the story of our four young heroes begins. They were out on a mission. Not to conquer, not to change, only to learn from the gods of rock and to blend together the different creeds in order to form a new and all powerful sound.

It was merely a pursuit of truth. A dogma based on happiness, goodness, and true friendship. Unfortunately, many foes rose up to stand in their way. It was the high school years and each was out on their own struggling against the school mandated edicts against rock that stated, “Any soul who was caught to be rocking out in public would be expelled”. This is where our story begins. When as individuals, our heroes set out to undermine the evil decree and follow their rock ‘n’ roll dreams.

After seven years of playing and composing classical piano, Theo Gersht had an urge to pick up the guitar. After a couple months of playing around and teaching himself how to play, Theo decided it was time to form a band. He teamed up with his high school buddy Jonah and captain of the nearby Grant High School drum line, Aaron Revivo. Although this band only went so far and led to the leave of Jonah from school, Theo and Aaron decided they were in for life.

Theo continued to compose and one day decided to record a demo in a studio playing all the instruments himself aside from drums. The two began circulating demo’s everywhere and the response was enormous!

At that point they realized they needed more men if they were to successfully fulfill their dreams. They asked Sam White, another exiled high school friend, who really couldn’t play bass well at first, but they needed someone and he learned fast. After the breakup up his band Chains of Freedom, where he was the lead-singer/guitarist, Avromie joined his contemporaries. An amazing guitarist with extreme personality, he was another renegade in their high school leading his own fight opposing the counterproductive rules against creativity. The line up was now complete and the boys graduated to men. With their unique and different personalities and backgrounds they united to form a larger then life musical leadership allowing every person regardless of race, ideals, or background to have a friend with whom they can relate to. IN THEORY.

With their catchy tunes and unreal live shows, they set the stage for the amazing future that lies ahead. Hard hitting drums, pounding bass, thick guitars with lead and backup vocals coupled with acrobatics and energy on stage that can pump up a crowd of people in a graveyard. Our four heroes with the help of their best friend/manager Daneil Mayer have played venues such as:

The Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, The Key Club, All three rooms of the Knitting Factory Hollywood, B.B. Kings and Jillians at Universal City Walk, The El Rey Theater, Chain Reaction, Studio S, The Cobalt Café, college parties, Six Flags Magic Mountain, several events for Transworld Surf and Skate Magazines on bills with band such as: My Chemical Romance, Lit, Alien Ant Farm, Handsome Devil, A Change of Pace, Never Heard of It, HelloGoodbye, Nural, The Matches, Jenoah, Daphne Loves Derby, This Providence, Sherwood, Near Miss, Kaddisfly, and the list goes on. It is still a jungle, there are still hills dividing, but IN THEORY is overcoming and rising and it is only thanks to you that we can follow our dreams.
