We first formed in 1995, in the fall. Me, Simon,
 Ray, and Tim. We recorded Maiden Voyage in
just a few sessions in Las Vegas in December.
It was released in the summer of 1996.

In the spring of 1996, Tim left the group.
We had done maybe ten shows at this point.
We got Steve Lamb (Robert Sweet's cousin)
to take over on drums. My cousin, Bruce Menchen
was brought in just before Steve. The whole band
lived in the Riverside area, except me. I was the only
one who lived in Vegas. Bruce was brought in to help
the band rehearse.

We had already done a photo session that included
Bruce. So we used individual shots of Me, Simon,
Ray and Bruce for photos in the CD booklet.

In the summer we had a CD release concert/party.
 The concert was called TNT (Titanic, Neon Cross
and Tourniquet). We should have known a name like
 Maiden Voyage would be bad. That was our last
show with that line up.

We had gotten to know Robert Sweet around this
time, and he was looking for musicians to do
"Robert Sweet's Noise". In December of 1996, Me,
Ray, Simon, and Robert did a two song demo
covering 'Nightmare' and 'Freak Show'. We were
hanging around with nothing to do, and got invited
to play a Christmas party at Keith Day's Golgotha
music store in Orange county. There was like 20
bands doing three songs each. Sin Dizzy was there.
They did a partial reunion with Robert. That was
the only concert we ever did as Titanic with Robert.

In 1997 Robert got a backer to do his CD. By this
time was it called it 'Blank'. During that summer
Simon (Keith) and Ray, ended up being replaced
for Robert's project. Larry Worley was in at vocals.
We did three tracks for demo purpose. Robert did
the bass. I include this part of the story, because this
is what became of Titanic. By the end of 1997,
Titanic was never to play live again.

Then , in May 1998 I got a computer and started
recording Rev Seven CDs at home for something
to do. I recorded several until Matt Hunt of
Retroactive Records (then Magdalene Records)
called me up in 2000. He said 'Can I send you a
check and put Maiden Voyage out again?'.

On the re-release, you might notice the cool picture
of the original line up in a cemetery. That was taken
in December 1996 and never used. I think the
re-release was a good way to put things how they
should've been.

Matt sold a bunch pretty fast and asked if there was
any unreleased stuff. Me and Simon had unfinished
studio tracks, including the stuff with Robert. So I
started trying to make something out of the
conglomeration. At one point I asked Simon if he
could redo a vocal that was missing from the
original master. At this time I bought an iMac so I
could be on the same page as Sonsongs Studio to
help the process. By this time we are in spring 2001.

Well, one thing led to another. Simon said 'If were
gonna do it, then lets redo all the vocals.' Next thing
you know, it's a full blown Titanic project. So,
"Screaming in Silence " was born. In 2002 we did
a new recording, and one concert as 'Subdux'. Later
in 2002 Screaming in Silence was released.

In early 2005, Ray Kilsdonk and Robert Sweet asked
me if I wanted to help them in a show they were
trying to put together. A Rod Stewart tribute show,
with a great singer. I reluctantly said OK. We played
a few shows , and it was fun. But, we found out how
hard it is to get a show picked up in Las Vegas. Even
if the show is great, it doesn't mean anything.

By summer of 2006, we packed it in. A few months
later, I was asked by Retroactive Records if there
would be another Titanic album. The original singer
being out of state, and out of music, I had a crazy idea.
Why not try it? We did a demo and sent it to
Retroactive. They liked it, and the result became
"full steam ahead"!

It has been 14 years since the group formed, and
now there is a best of called "wreckage".
"Screaming in silence" and "Maiden Voyage" will
have Robert Sweet drums on them to be re-released
early 2009.

And then...
