WEAR THE ATTITUDE, LIVE THE LIFESTYLE
1967
Founded in 2009 by Jaime Reynolds and Gordon Burks, former band mates in Washington State group, Prozack Staple, as a long-distance collaboration, 1967 has evolved into a 4-piece ensemble focusing on hooky, chorus driven hard rock with elements of groove readily apparent in the instrumentals. Reynolds, who performs lead vocal and guitar duties, was living in the Phoenix area and recruited bassist Jordan Courtney, drummer Nathan Marchi, and guitarist Scotty Saenz to expand on the original ideas, perform live original and cover music, and record new material.
Compared favorably to Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Incubus, Chevelle, Queens of the Stone Age, Breaking Benjamin, and Metallica, 1967 quickly has made a name for themselves with hard driving, straight ahead rock shows by focusing on the music and energizing the crowd rather than relying on theatrics. Varying the performance of every song from show to show, complete with Hendrix and Zepplin type riffs and mid song musical improvisation, 1967 created an edgy, modern feel to go with classic rock values and spirit. 1967 members have shared the stage with the following bands: Slayer, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Hed P,E, Mushroomhead, American Head Charge, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, Tantric, Alien Ant Farm, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Agent Orange, Kings X, Accept, Harvey Danger, Hell Bastards, Resistant Culture, Jackyl, Scum of the Earth, Jason Devore (from Authority Zero), and David Ellefson (from Megadeth).
Hailing from La Conner, WA , Jaime Reynolds and has been playing and performing since he was only 4 years old. He grew up rock and roll and comes from a long line of seasoned musicians. While he can play multiple instruments, his main talent is with the guitar and as a young teen formed a Nirvana cover band.
Jaime is the former lead guitar player and founding member of well known PNW band, Prozack Staple, which performed for over ten years, touring the area and opening for big names such as Slayer, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Saliva, Hed P.E., Breaking Benjamin, and more. In 2011 he returned to the professional music scene in Phoenix, Arizona with a new band, 1967, and toured around the Southwest.
His dynamic versions of covers and originals span decades of rock and roll from Pink Floyd to Stone Temple Pilots, and include originals from his late brother Geoff Reynolds, letting his music live on through Jaime.
