Unfortunately, they were not able to find any bassist and drummer. Eddy who stopped playing music as keyboard in the mid 90ies decided to start playing bass and convinced Charly to buy a second hand drum.</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="69" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" height="103"> <a target="_blank" href="Pictures/Big/AFFICHE.jpg"> <img border="0" src="Pictures/Small/AFFICHE.jpg" width="73" height="103" align="left" style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" hspace="0"></a></td> <td width="435" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" height="103"> After a first chaotic rehearsal end December 2003, almost all the guys gave up and stopped playing! At least, no one died of it. For Eddy and Charly however, it was too late: they had caught the virus. <br> 6 month later, Eddy found a new guitarist and they started the rehearsals in Charly s cellar as a trio during the spring 2004. </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="545" colspan="2" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify" height="350"> <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">Very quickly, the need came for a fourth person that would play guitar or even better, a new bassist as Eddy had always secretly wanted to play guitar for years. At the end of October 2004, Alain ,who is a colleague of Charly and Eddy, was lured to a rehearsal, and came back home with one of Eddy s bass under his arm. One month later they did a first trial with Alain at the bass, and Eddy& at the guitar. </p> <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%">At this time, the only goal of the band is to have fun and bring more music into the overall noise. Unfortunately, the first guitarist did not have the same motivation. So, Eddy, Charly and Alain decided to find a new one.</p> <p>In early June 2005, Eddy introduced Aby to Alain and Charly. She had been playing keyboard for a long time and guitar for few years. After a first try, she officially and unanimously became the new fourth wheel of the car. The band was born!</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0em; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"> During the summer 2005, the first small concert was given for BBQ under the name of VIRGIN X PRESS. <br> At the request of their company, Alain, Charly and Eddy accepted to start the show at the yearly party in front of almost 1000 people. This is an important date for them because this was the very first real concert of the band that would make them addicted to live shows. <br> This is also where the name of the band was proposed by an employee of the company and adopted by the members: ACE was really born!</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0em; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"> Since then, the band has accumulated gigs in all types of occasions, worked a lot to improve their level and increase the playlist always with real famous and hot rock-pop hits... <br> <br> And remember& We ll Rock You !</p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0em; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%"><b><font color="#CC0000">ACE</font></b> meaning: <font color="#CC0000"><b>A</b></font> for <b>A</b>lain &amp; <b>A</b>by, <font color="#CC0000"><b>C</b></font> for <b>C</b>harly and <font color="#CC0000"><b>E</b></font> for <b>E</b>ddy.</p> </td> </tr> </table> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0em; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0em; LINE-HEIGHT: 100%">&nbsp;</p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0em; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0em; LINE-HEIGHT: 100%">&nbsp;</p> <div class="divider"> <p></p></div> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> </div> <p id="power"><b>ACE Band</b> Copyright 2006</p> </div></A> </body> </html>
