Here’s a little something to let you know how THE KLICK came to be the
rockin band that it is.
My name is Jeff School, I was hanging out at my buddy Lloyd’s house one
evening playing guitar and partying (imagine that) when there was a knock at the
door. Well in walked this guy that Lloyd’s friend new carrying a sax case. He
introduced himself to me as the Saxman (Tommy Karol). We partied and played
music all night in Lloyd’s living room. This was on a Wednesday night in June of
2003. That following Friday I was scheduled to DJ the Fayette City Fireman
parade. I called Tommy up to see if he would like to play for these people and he
showed up and we rocked them for two hours straight. We been playing together
ever since.
Tom and I started a two piece band and learned a bunch of good tunes. We
played at a bar called Ick and Flo’s in Monongahela where we held a jam night
for two years. You could say we had a groove going on and there was one guy
who wanted to be a part of it. His name was Ray Hainey (Ray Ray). We got to a
point where we needed a name for the band and one day Ray Ray said I want to
be a part of your click. Well thanks to Ray Ray we are now known as The Klick.
Our two piece band went on for two years playing all over the valley. Then
one day while we were playing the Hilltop Fireman’s Club in Monessen, we
decided we needed a change. So we went to work looking for three great players
which I must say wasn’t too hard to do. The Mon Valley is full of good musicians.
Well we ended up with Billy Gaidos one of the best drummers I have ever played
with, Alex (dog) Amicarella an awesome bass player from the Sutersville and
Allen Granus one of the greatest guitar pickers around.
Since this has been written, we no longer have a sax player in The Klick and
he will be sadly missed!!!
So if your in the mood for some good rock-n-roll make sure you look up!!!
