Formed in 1994, 24-HOUR Church of Beer began as an alcohol powered thrash/punk experiment with two full drum kits, bass, guitars, and electric bouzouki.
By 1996, the band had lost original bassist Jamie Fawkes to GOB, downsized to one drummer, and recorded the 9 song independent "mmm....Medinciney", a basement effort produced with Lex Milton of Nanaimo's Amoral Minority.
The lineup continued thru 1998's "Bottle Drive", but the recording of a third project in 2000 spelled the end, and it seemed the Church would die out like some obscure sect with few devotees.
Yet salvation loomed suddenly in sight with the appearance of the Mutha Superior in 2003, and a new era began.
As a power trio of bass, drums, and guitar, the newly invigorated Church wrote, rehearsed, and played like mad. After recording "The Incredible Impolitness of Being..." in 2006, 24-HOUR Church of Beer signed a deal with Seattle based Vagrant Records in 2006. This was followed up with "Sacrelicious" in 2008, recorded with Jack Endino and Lari Peterson.
The Church has been playing local dates, and is getting ready for the 5th year of their very own music festival, Rockshow!, in summer of '11.
Reverend Tim plays bass, writes words, and preachifies!
Mutha Superior G plays guitar, and sings praises!
Brother Lazarus plays drums, and testifies!
