magic daddy
magic daddy was started in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist Ricky Priebe(aka RDP3). The then nameless band played its first gig at a school dance in Damascus, PA. The band consisted of Ricky Priebe, Josh Livingston, Joel Braverman, Jason Stershic, and Steve Faubel. Steve(vocals) left the band and Ricky took up the vocal slot. After a gig at a campground in Equinox, PA the following summer, bassist Jason Stershic left to persue his interest in guitar. Left without a bassist Ricky convinced his sister to buy a bass and learn to play, lucky for the band she was a quick learner. After she mastered a few covers the band played another dance at Damascus. Back Again. A few gigs and a year later we're kickin' ass. |
