Dark Cloud was formed with Mike Skeeters on guitar, Roger Silva on drums, Ernie Rodrigues on Vocals, Scott Radosevich on keyboards and I on bass. We were the premier rock band on the Central Coast of California playing very heavy music back then. Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Bloodrock, Led Zeppelin, and Grand Funk Railroad were among the staples of our sets. We played all the high schools, fairs, and dive bars around the area. We started writing original music as well and got the chance to record some. God, I was so idealistic back then in my writing and wanting World Peace. LOL. It's fun going back and listening to them. At one point Rock Steady Music, who handled Kiss at the time, wanted to sign us. However, Scott and I wanted to continue our schooling. Regretably or thankfully, we declined it. We will never know what that future would have been. We played together for at least 6 years and I had some great times with my brothers. However, at the end, Scott and I wanted to go on to play more progressive music so we decided to call it quits as Dark Cloud.
