Tora! Tora! Tora! started with Mike and Matt(both formerly of KBH) working together on new material for a totally different sounding band. Trial and error was the name of the game as we went through a few drummers and even tried using Don(formerly of KBH) as lead singer. Eventually they met Squirrel through a mutual friend and the chemistry was apparent from the first practice. A bit later Ryan Mudd(Ryan Mudd and the Stuff) auditioned to be singer and after just a few beer fueled rock n roll sessions we knew we had our new lead singer. Ryan also took over second guitar and became the go to utility guy for other instruments.
