Shane Ouellette and Andrew zakher started playing music together when they were in high school and formed Almost Normal in late 2001. The band was searching for a new direction at the same time Ashley Lampman posted an ad in the Myspace classifieds, looking to join a band. On July 6,2007, they all met up at Ashley’s house that same night, and talked about everything, from their favorite bands to stupid YouTube videos like “shoes”. They met up once again two days later and worked on a song Ashley started making prior. Within 30 minutes, they completed their first song together, entitled “Taste of Lies.” Almost Normal was reinvented, and since then they’ve recorded 11 songs, played at venues such as Jillian’s, The Box Office, Zia Records Exchange, and House of Blues to name a few. Now they’re working on new music, new merch, playing shows, and eating lots and lots of cookies and Taco Bells. Read more on Last.fm.
