January came around and some issues occured that led to Erin's leaving of Joyride. Joyride was now a drummer, bassist, and no guitarist or singer. Then, comes Jenn. Jenn had just happened to get a guitar for Christmas and was just learning. Of course, Hannah and Alice jumped on her like vultures on a three-day old carcas. As time progressed, along with the girls' talent, the newly formed band was official, with a new, official name: Nobody's Girlfriend. Not because they're angry, male hating lesbians but because it was a random name Alice blurted out one day and was liked. The girls would practice when they could, usually on weekends, never really getting anywhere. Eventually, they got word that they would be playing their first gig at the local Rockin Worship at the Bristol Federated Church on July 13th. The girls practiced the one song they knew until they couldn't stand it anymore...nor could the neighbors. That one song was Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle. Ooh baby do you know what that's worth? Not much I tell ya. Along came July 13th, 2002 and they played. It was horrible, but it was their first show. After that, they started playing regularly at the Rockin' Worships, each event bringing in new bands like the girls' close friends Side One, who at that time were called The Newtons (or the Nitwits according to Alice).

         Around November/December 2002, Hannah had promoted to being lead vocals, and leaving Anybody's Joytoy without a drummer. The girls would ask different people to fill in drumming and pay them with either cake or sexual favors ( we made a lot of fucking cake) while they found a drummer. Eventually, Alice asked her friend Nicole to drum, even though she had never played before. But with her practicing religiously, and Hannah helping, Nicole is becoming better everyday. Things were going well, or so they thought, until around February 2003 when the loving (and hating) of Emo came along with busy schedules and the leaving of Jenn. Hannah, Alice, and Nicole were left to find a replacement for Jenn and soon found Gabe. Gabe had been a friend of Hannah and Jenn's and turned out to be quite the guitar player. Now, because Gabe was not of the female persuasion, the band thought it appropriate to change the name, even though Gabe was Nobody's Girlfriend.....aside from Kenny's. All it took was an unofficial, unsuccessful contest thought up by Alice, weeks of racking their brains, and one late night of Hannah, Alice, and Gabe staying up way too late watching Disney movies, eating candy and talking about the most random subjects. Finally, after about the 8th time of Hannah asking " Ok, let's pick a band name" Alice said, "What about Forget the Day?" A couple more weeks went by and the name was official, they were now Forget the Day. That didn't last long either.

          Things didn't work out with Gabe. Surprise surprise. BUT! We did not give up, we played shows with Le Mark Donovan (good friend and sexual obession from Side One) as a fill-in and got the number from a kid with a mohawk of a girl who plays guitar. So. We called her up and got a guitarist. woot.  We're Nobody's Girlfriend and we rock the hizowse. Word.

 

So join our fun stew and come to the shows.... "We're Nobody's Girlfriend... except for yours, we wanna rock you get on the floor... we're Nobody's Girlfriend, except for yours and we wanna rock you TAKE OFF YOUR DRAWERS"
