Bio
Brett, Scott and Lance started Force Fed in 1989 or early 90 after hearing Prong's Primitive Origins tape, and Force Fed tape. Scott suggested they use the name Force Fed... It stuck, Tommy Victor, Ted Parsons and Raven of Prong all gave their blessing.
Brett was killed in a car wreck in 1991. Scott and Lance decided the last thing Brett would want was us to quit. We started playing parties, clubs, honkytonks, anywhere we could. We played valentines day, Easter Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays at the BackRoom. got screwed by the Backroom ( but who didn't back then?) A lot of locals didn't like us...The punks thought we were too metal and the metalheads thought we were too punk, we didn't sound like everyone else. All the other bands tried to sound like Testement, Sepultura, or Pantera...We wanted to sound like we were from New York city or Venice Beach, we loved the NYC hardcore movement as much as the Venice Beach skate metal/crossover movement.... We finally got our big break... We were asked to be direct support for Motorhead at Sneakers on Lamar... That was the game changer for us. People were coming up to us asking what it was like to tour with Lemmy... ??? I'd tell them we were a local band, been around for 3 years! Really? Never heard of you guys.( Lance sharing a bottle of Jack Daniels and shooting pool is a sight I'll never forget....)
Then Matt started dating Kelly Kaos, a dj at ZRock. We were asked to play ZRock Thursdays at the BackRoom... that led to us opening for roadshows, such as Carcass, Crowbar, Napalm Death, Agent Orange, Prong, Skrew, Drain STH, Life Of Agony, deadhorse...Yes deadhorse, oh the irony. Anyhow, we're all older, wiser, fatter, have families and jobs, but felt like Texas needed a reminder of Force Fed, so there you have it...
