Latex Generation is a New York, USA punk rock band that formed in the early 1990s. The band's name was inspired by a news report that spoke of the current generation of teens regarding the threat of STDs and the AIDS epidemic came on the radio. The name has also been said to be a play on words as the "Late X Generation" because the members all fall age-wise at the tail end of Generation X. The band are also referred to as "L8XG" or just "LG". Over the years, Latex Generation has released 2 full-length CDs, 3 7" records, a number of compilation album contributions and have toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Australia - most notably on the Van's Warped Tour. ==The Early Years (1990-1992)== The founding members were: *Paul Fort (guitar) *Mike Hobbs (drums) *Tommy Rockstar (bass) In its infancy, the band's performances were at high school functions. No Frontman was available at this point, so good friends/family members took the stage with the band. The band soon added James Simpson on guitar to fill out the live sound. However, Simpson's role with the band was short lived due to personality clashes with the other members. Soon after this, vocalist Matt Small was recruited. Matt fronted the band for a few shows, including one at Long Island's HammerHedz, the Vault in Queens (NYC), & the Wheatley High's Battle of the Bands. The Wheatley battle of the band's show incited an infamous mosh pit that brought the show to a halt twice and led to the school principal ejecting the band's fans, resulting in a disappointing loss in the contest. The band realized that Matt's singing style didn't fit their style so his stint as lead singer ended rather quickly. After several unsuccessful auditions, the band approached Joseph Nienstedt, guitarist for another local band called "Old Motor Parkway". Joe became the new singer for the band and they immediately began working on original songs. Among the early originals were: "Out on the Run", "Bitch Factory", and "Edicius". The band started to play regular shows throughout Long Island and Queens and even won the Herricks High School Battle of the Bands. The line-up was as follows: *Paul Fort (guitars) *Mike Hobbs (drums) *Tommy Rockstar (bass guitars) *Joseph Nienstedt (vocals) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latex Generation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
