History Of Radio GaGa

In mid 2008, Jordan Lennon had a vision to create a young blooded party band. So, he went on a personal quest to find any friends that played instruments. Jordan, being the enthusiastic basketball player he is, found two guitarists in his basketball team, Nial and Daniel. And Young Blood (later to be called Radio GaGa) un-officially formed. Jordan and Nial had one practice together before going into high school. Jordan went off to high school where he quickly became friends with a singer/guitarist called Marcus Barricelli. Jordan asked Marcus if he was interested in joining a new party band, Marcus was hesitant at first to join - he was already in a band and a singing group and worried he had too much on his plate. After constant persuading Marcus to join, he agreed to join forces with Jordan. But Marcus also had a little gift with him. He knew a keen self-taught pianist called Salvatore Martino that went to primary school with him, they were good friends and had jammed many times for school events. Marcus thought he was going to be playing rhythm guitar, and Nial lead. But Jordan left the basketball club, losing contact with Nial and Daniel. Jordan decided to start fresh with Marcus and Salv and that week they had a short jam together. They had some fun and decided to extend their list of songs. After a couple of months of jamming Jordan claimed he had found a bass player online. So, the band decided to orgainse a rehearsal with this 'keen' bass player. They made a special occasion to hire out a dance studio in North Adelaide to see him. The dick head didn't turn up. So, still a 3 piece, Young Blood soldiered on, still looking for a bass player, but decided not to stress out about it. Instead, they improved on their songs and found out that Salv could actually sing quite high and well. So they worked on their harmonys.  Later Young Blood lost their keyboardest Salvatore Martino and changed their name to Radio GaGaRadio GaGa then found an amazing keyboardest, Jeremiah Filipinas.They found a fantastic singer, Amy Hawkins, plus a brilliant Bass player, James Russo.
