Band Bios

	Tim Hirota, like the rest of the Hirotas, was raised on music. And, like the rest of the Hirotas, was involved in lots of music projects, from 'The Johnsons' to 'Tita’s one-night-stand band' to 'Cheap Date'. 'loaf' represents Tim’s venture into purely original projects. He began writing this project in the early part of 2000, and completed it (with songs to spare) in 2003. He is currently working on the next 'loaf' project. Has never played with anyone famous...oh, but have you seen Rick's Bio?
Sings. Does not play guitar. Wrote none of the songs on the CD. Lives, shops and works out religiously in Southern California. She considers Rick the most famous person she's ever sung with.
	Sings. Plays drums. Plays keyboards. Gets blisters if he hasn't played in a while. Manages to juggle work, family and drumsticks with the greatest of ease. Lives with his wife and kids in Southern California. Would really like to be associated with someone famous. Takes some comfort in the fact that, at least for now, Rick is.
Sings. Plays neither drums nor guitar. Has many tattoos. Designs surf wear. Lives with his kids in Southern California. Used to sing in an alternative band though not as well-known as the ones Rick has been in.
	Back-up vocals. Married to John Spencer. Mom to 3 boys and a little lady. Runs. Plays piano. Reads. Sleeps. Eats. Annoys people. Favorite movies: Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Usual Suspects. Favorite Sitcoms: Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Will and Grace. Special Thanks To: Mom and Dad for surrounding our lives with love and music. Wants to know some of the people Rick hangs out with.
Sings backup. Plays no instruments and gets terrible stage fright. Finds comfort in her vices of golf, single-malt scotch, cigars and Martha Stewart. Lives in Southern California while daughter, Dani goes to college in Hawaii. Thought she might have sung with someone famous once but they turned out to be a band that covers Rick's songs.
	Plays bass. He has played with Tim and Pete since the mid 1980's. Being one of the few with no vocal credits on the Damascus project, Brian does sing. However, the initial attempt to record his voice left two producers sterile and sent a recording engineer running away to join the monks at the Brotherhood of the Blessed Cathedral of Silence. A second recording session was never attempted. Checks Rick's other website out on a regular basis to see if there has been any new famous people added.
The youngest member of the band, Jeff Halili joined in 2001 as the second guitarist. He previously worked as guitarist and drummer with singer and former schoolmate, Dominic Hirota. Interests include: golf (shoots in the 80's), Reality TV, football, computers, food, coffee and family. Lives in Orange County with wife, Leilani and son, Caden. Was once the president of Rick's fan club.
	Keyboardist & producer, Rick has worked with numerous artists including John Elefante of Kansas; Alan Hewitt, producer of Earth, Wind & Fire; Mack, producer of Queen, ELO and Billy Squire and Andy Johns, producer of Led Zeppelin. He appears on the Atlantic Record's debut album of Michael White as well as the KLOS Rock to Riches album. He co-wrote and produced his duo CD, Gemini, and produced the debut CD for Christian vocal group Karis. Rick holds a masters in music (M.Mus.) from California State University Fullerton and currently serves as musical director for Saint Edward Catholic Church in Dana Point, California. Whatever.
