It's a long story, so let's just keep things simple... Once upon a time there were 3 bands all from the same suburb New Orleans area. Groundfault, Interstate Pond and Offinyamental. After a few years of writing songs, playing shows and gaining a deep local fanbase, a big hurricane came and washed them away--sort of. When the water receded, there was one new band standing. The alliance between George Butler, Ed Boudreaux, Isaiah Pierce, Paul O'Brien and Mark Pecoraro is Pandemic.
