Biography
In the summer of 2002,former Dirty Love drummer Randy Richtmyre answered an ad posted at a local music store by Tom Klein. Tom the former guitarist with Intrepid and Bastard Cousin got together with Randy and "Dragenfly" was started. Their tastes in music were very similar and the more they played together the smoother it became. Next came former Third Rail and Wrath lead vocalist Patrick McGrain, and were later joined by former Trisect bassist Karl Grom. After a few months of rehearsals the band started playing gigs and developing a very good following because of their high energy and dynamic Rock and Roll shows. During this time period the band started to write and perform their own originals. In early 2003 the band went into the studio and recorded a four song demo that was released in 2003, and did very well in the local market.
The band played hard for the next year and a half at venues in WI. and Il. all the while still writing more original songs. In the Fall of 2004 the band took a break from doing shows and went back into the studio to record a 12 song CD "In The Beginning". When the band finished recording the CD our bassist Karl, decided to leave the band and move on to do a different project. The band now went on a long search for a new bassist.
On Jan. 9, 2005 the band welcomed former Blu Steel bassist Ronnie Blaziewske to the band. Ronnie brings to the band a whole new set of great ideas for new songs and a much higher level of energy to our fans. So keep an eye out for a follow-up CD to our debut CD "In The Beginning". Now Dragenfly is back on the road in support of their debut CD due out on 4/29/05.
Dragenfly is a group of seasoned musician's with many years of music under their belts, and never fail to please a crowd. Their musical influences of bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeath, Queensryche, Disturbed, The Beatles, Areosmith, Lynch Mob, The Rolling Stones, Yes, and Cheap Trick, can be heard in some of their Hard Rocking Originals. It also gives the band a very diversified list of Cover songs to chose from and change up the show from night to night.
