The Gary Busey Experience

The Gary Busey Experience was a Boston based Thrash/Grindcore band, formed in late 2007 at Emerson College.

History

In late 2007, former band member Roger Tower approached several people about starting a metal band. He asked Clay Lowe on guitar, Leo Lydon on guitar, Nick Vecellio on bass and Danny Joseph on drums. All agreed, and the band began practicing at the Music Gym, in Allston, Massachusetts. After several practices, the band had their first song written, it was named “Penetration.” At this point, the band could not afford to practice at the Music Gym any longer, and were left to practice in one of the dorm rooms at Emerson College. On one of their practice days, someone wandered in after hearing the band from the hallway, and offered the band a slot on an upcoming show with several other Boston bands, most notably The Carrier and Shipwreck A.D. The show was held in the Emerson College Multipurpose Room in Piano Row on February 25th, 2008. The Gary Busey Experience brought the majority of the turnout, mostly friends who were interested in seeing the act perform for the first time. The band wound up playing a 20 minute long set, with only 2 full songs written. The rest of the set was improvisation, but it was said the band performed so well that no one even noticed. However, because of the mosh pits during this show, further bands were banned from playing in the Multipurpose Room, therefore throwing the Gary Busey Experience into the history books. During the next few months, the band began work on a demo cd, titled “Blunts and Blastbeats.” It was never released to the public; the only way people could hear the rough demo was on the bands myspace.

During the summer of 2008, the band remained inactive, due to members spread out across the country, although Leo and Clay continued to write new songs, and brought them back to the table in the fall of 2008. When the band reunited in 2008, they were left without vocalist Roger Tower; he was spending a semester in Europe. The band decided it would be best to move on without him, to continue what they started earlier in the year. Nick Vecellio was moved from bass to vocals, and the band picked up two more members after that, adding Erik Magnus on bass, and Jared Diamond on Vocals as well. This would be the final lineup for the band, sticking until the band dissolved. After adding Jared and Erik, the band began to practice more and more, and began expanding their track offering much more, as well as making the songs much more technical and epic sounding. The band played several more shows in this time, playing shows with bands such as Powernap on Satans Floor, Cirque De Carne, and now signed to Relapse Records, Revocation. The band quickly gained many fans during this time, drawing a large crowd at every show. The band was well known across the area for being serious musicians without the serious attitude, as well as jumping in the mosh pit while playing, and having the crowd name their new songs. Also, during this time, the band recorded a new, more produced demo called “Hotel Thrash Party.” Some of the songs were released again on myspace, replacing the older tracks, but again not produced onto CD. In early 2009, the band began rerecording “Hotel Thrash Party” in the studios of the New England Institute of Art. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen problems, the demo was never finished, and is still being worked on to this day. Shortly after, in the summer of 2009, the band went on indefinite hiatus, as guitarist Clay Lowe went to Los Angeles for a semester, and the band decided that he influenced the sound of the band so much that they could not continue without him.
