    The Band

    A bit about who we are ...

    In early 2007, a heated lunchtime debate over the greatest rock bands of the 70s and 80s in the cafeteria of a Silicon Valley semiconductor company sent three marketing guys on a company-wide, Blues Brothers-esque mission to put together the ultimate classic rock supergroup.

    Today, Metal Etch's massive sound is fueled by the mesmerizing drumming of Subbu Ganesh, the thunderous bass chops of Gordon Pocock, the keyboard wizardry of Alan Herrmann, the face-melting dual-guitar assault of Ron Kantorik & Sean Roth and the wailing vocals of the band's ferocious frontman, Bernhard Friebe

    In each of its performances (and weekly rehersals at Studio 3107 -- the band's current headquarters), Metal Etch pay tribute to the likes of ourney, Styx, ZZ Top, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, Tom Petty and many other classic rock greats.
