BIO: WAXWING formed in 1982 in Miami, Florida, when guitarist Snyder formed a 3-piece band with local musicians, drummer Steve Twitchell and bassist John Giillow. In the coming year Gil “Thrill” Fernandez was added as the lead vocalist. The quartet would be dubbed WAXWING.

In 1984, a decision was made to move the bad from South Florida to Washington State. Fernandez and Synder made the journey northwest. Both Twitchell and Giillow would remain in Miami. Once in Tacoma, the pair recruited a new rhythm section by bringing on board bassist Matt Mustafa and drummer Joey Hammerschmith to finalize a new WAXWING lineup. It was clear there was potential for WAXWING in the Tacoma/Seattle area. However, Fernandez and Synder decided to return to Miami. This decision would put the band on pause.

In 1987, Fernandez and Synder recorded a 4-track demo using a drum machine and Synder playing bass. The two then decided to return to Tacoma in the next year. There they would regroup with Mustafa and drummer Hammerschmith to record the WAXWING ‘Appetizer” EP at Steve Lawson’s Studio in Seattle.

WAXWING is:
Snyder - guitars
Gil Thrill - vocals
Matt Mustafa - bass
Joey Hammerschmith - drums
