Artist Biography For Juston Stens And The Get Real Gang

Hello Earth. My Name Is Juston Stens. I Share A Birthday With Ringo Starr. When I Was About 7 Years Old I Began Learning To Play Guitar By Listening To My Parents Albums And Cassettes From The 60's And 70's. It Wasn't Until Years Later That I Learned How To Tune It!--------------- In 1985 I Saw "Back To The Future" And I Knew It Was Time To Go Electric. I Saved $75 And My Father Took Me To The South Street Pawn Shop To Buy My First Electric Guitar. ----------------- As A Teenager I Founded And Lead A New Jersey Punk Rock Band Called "ODDNORMAL" Playing Guitar And Singing. ---------I Once Saved Brooke Shields From Drowning. I Spent The Reward Money To Hire VanHalen To Play At My Birthday Party.------------- In My Early Twenties I Joined A Band With A Friend Named Bradford Trojan Taking The Role Of Drummer And Honing My Percussive Abilities. Later I Switched Back To Guitar/frontman And Formed A Band Called "It's Turbo Time !" Which Was A Natural Progression And Continuation Of Oddnormal. ----------------- In My Mid Twenties I Created A Recording Project Known As "VanCleef" Which Explored Slower And More Dramatic Sounds Most Of Which Were Instrumental And Inspired By Sergio Leone's "Spaghetti Western" And The Ennio Morricone Scores That Accompanied These Beautiful Films. ------------------- Since 2004 I Have Been Playing Drums For A Philadelphia Based Rock N' Roll Act Known As "Dr.Dog". ------------------------In The Autumn Of 2009 Parted Ways With Dr.Dog To Pursue My Own Musical Journey. Since Then I Have Recorded A Batch Of Songs In Tucson AZ And Black Mt. NC With Nathan Sabatino And Seth Kauffman Respectively. These Version Of Songs Will Be Pressed Into 7" Vinyl Discs Known As "records" And Will Be Released One By One Starting Spring 2010. ...............Since January I Have Been Rehearsing With A Solid Bunch Of Cats Known As " The Get Real Gang". We Began Playing Live In May 2010 And Continue To Rock And Roll Across The Land Meeting Wonderful People And Playing With Great Bands! .......................... My Name Is Juston Stens. I Am Now 33 Years Old And I Have Gray Hairs. Some Say They Make Me Look Distinguished. Others Do Not. Red Is Grey And Yellow White. But We Decide Which Is Right And Which Is An Illusion!
