Band Biography.

     January 31st 2010 was the start of The Pacifists, the line up was originally Mike Fleck on vocals, Matt Craig on guitar, Gabe Castro on bass and Jeff Sullivan on drums. They started after the demise of two bands, Raunch & the 15 year old girls and The Rip-Offs.
     A few shows were played a demo was recorded and Jeff left the band for a few different reasons.  Shows were booked and they needed a drummer really badly, they played a show with Josh Clark from Joe's Garage but did only Raunch & the 15 year old girls songs. Everyone in that line up was in that band but with a different singer and a few instrument change ups.
     Desperate for a drummer they eventually came across Fletcher Shears, Fletch is the greatest drummer in OC and is only getting better. He joined the band, recorded a demo, played a few shows but unfortunately had to leave the band due to not being able to make it to most of the shows.
     Jeff Salisbury from Media Blitz, No Spex, Thought Process and more played a couple shows and wrote a new song with the band.
     The band took a hiatus so they could find a drummer and record for an EP.They found Mike West and he joined. Mike has been in many bands including, The Placen-Tones, HBPD, The Telephone Junkies and more! Mike is the current drummer and he has recorded, helped write new material and is now playing shows with them. He pounds those drums hard.
     The Pacifists are currently playing alot at a new warehouse in Garden Grove called A Place Of Worship.
