The Dry Heavers Band Members: 1990-1999

The Dry Heavers have had several line-up changes throughout their tumultuous career. The most controversial being the apparent firing of original guitarist Jon Birkenbeuel. However, in reality, the band had quit the limelight and started to move on when singer/guitarist Ric Soens approached the band's bassist and co-founder Jason (Buda) Bacidore about reforming. Hence the new trio was formed of Bacidore, Soens, and co-founder Matthew (Matt) Billard still on drums. In the wake of this apparent 'situation', rumors abounded, as well as an unfounded reputation of a band that breaks up at least once a month, only to later reform. This lead to venues billing the band's shows as "final performance" or "triumphant return" even though the band members maintain they never went away! *CLICK* your favorite band member for more info!
