| THE BAND SPATER IS; DAVE HENNINGER (guitar/vocals) (NEWARK, NY) KEVIN DAEFFLER (drums/vocals) (AUBURN, NY) TERRY IOCCO (bass/vocals) (WATERLOO, NY) TIM RIVENBURGH (guitar/vocals) (CLYDE, NY) SOME HISTORY ABOUT THE BAND SPATER SPATER was formed in the spring of 1992 by Kevin. Kevin called his long time friend, Terry to join him in forming a HEAVY METAL band. They started jamming with a couple of local guitar-nots. Eventually Kevin ran into Dave at a local mall. He had seen Dave in another band previously and had actually jammed with him once or twice. He invited Dave to try out for the band. At the time the name was spelled with two T's(SPATTER). They eventually dropped one "T" in the name because they felt that the logo at the time looked cooler like that. This has caused much confusion on how to pronounce the name. We pronounce it "SPATTER". Through the years, many a guitarist went through the band. It seemed they were destined to be a three piece band. Kelly Rittenhouse was origionally hired on as a roady, somewhere around 1994. Over time, through perseverance and dedication, Kelly began contributing artistically to the band and the song writing. He started out playing glokinspiel and singing back-up. Later, he bought a guitar and started jamming rythm guitar to add a much needed filler guitar. Sadly, on September first, 2002, Kelly had to answer to a higher power. On October 5th,2002, Tim agreed to join SPATER as our newest guitarist. Over the years SPATER has rocked a lot of places and people. It's not for the money(there is none). It's for the shear joy of jammin', rippin' it up in front of people. In the words of a great friend(Ranger)Dave Dejohn' "ROCK AND FUKIN' ROLL!!!" |
