In The Spotlight: RayGun 
RayGun began to stir in Nathan and Dave in the fall of 2007. The idea was to put
together a great rock band that played tunes people know and love, but aren't
sick of hearing at every corner club or festival...To be a band that makes
people grateful for the gift of music, glad that they ventured out to see the
band, and happy to part with a cover charge or ID check to experience
RayGun...To be a band that impressed everyone in their midst - from clubowners
to bouncers to the dude at the back of club with the "prove it to me" thing
going on. With these desires in mind, they sought the help of a bass player and
frontperson. Along came Mr. Luedtke. He absolutely owned the auditions, was on
fire for the band, the music they were doing and was added to the fold. Then
came the frontman. In May of 2008, Dan came in, auditioned, and within seconds
(almost literally) found his way into the band. With band experience aplenty
amongst the four, it was time to choose songs, form setlists, and develop a
style that would cause people to stand up and take notice. In August of 2008,
the band began recording some of the songs that stood out live and helped show
who RayGun was. The new recordings will be available online in early September.
RayGun, simply put, is influenced by (and plays) stuff that rocks, no matter
what era. Great songs and great bands/musicians are timeless. Secondly, they
love those who are masters of melody and hook. In their opinion, music without a
melody or hook is pretty pointless. Thirdly, they cherish the humble among them.
They're also usually the coolest among them.
