Starting off in the Central Valley of California the Bentley twins first band, Pure Poison, was in fifth grade with their childhood friend Eli Veil.  Clayton followed Eli to college in Santa Cruz while Cameron joined the Army.  In Santa Cruz we met Carl who transferred to UC Santa Cruz from UCLA.  They had a fairly large friend group at Santa Cruz and everyone was so talented with music and art.  Eli, and Clayton lived in a beach house with Matt who was also from the Merrill College freshman hall friend group of 92-93 year.  There was Krisnadi “Pooks”, Arn, Linus, Mark “Heyman”, Dave Dew, Shwa, and Ben.  Then there was Eli. Carl, and Clayton too and when Cam got out of the Army he joined the party.  Later a few buddies from my hometown came to Santa Cruz too, like Keith our old drummer.  Also Shayne from Winters brought Lanham from Maryland, classic buddy.  There was always art and music going on, with some art and film majors in the mix and several musicians, bands were started. There was Hot Box, Rutsey Band, The Payments, Foothill.   Eventually, Carl, Eli, Cam and I ended up in LA and started a band called Nasscar Poets.  That Eventually led to Cam leaving and the name changed to The Working Poor.  Eventually I left and Arn joined with some other dudes too.  Eventually Carl started The Western States Motel and shared a lock out with The Payments.
