(Vlad and) the Impalers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Vlad And) The Impalers is the new brainchild of Southern California's Lingenfelter brothers, Dave and Phil.
In 1993 Dave started a band in high school called ESL?! and when this band survived high school they signed to Geykido Comet Records. Part of the deal required Dave's younger brother's band to be included in the first release if the band paid for its own recording. This resulted in the ESL?!/Shamus Oneal split CD of 2000. Shortly after the release of the CD Phil's band broke up, but ESL?! continued on, eventually teaming up with Phil as drummer for the 21 song ESL?! full length CD released in 2002.
ESL?! parted ways in 2002 after 9 years of being a band and each member went on to other bands.
After several failed attempts to get an original act together, Dave and Phill teamed up yet again to form (Vlad And) The Impalers and as of December of 2006 have completed recording and mastering a debut album of 13 songs for Geykido Comet Records.
