Biography
Friends since high school, Adam Holt (drums), Rick Johnson (guitar) and Ross Facundo (bass) have been making music together for a long time. In 2002, Adam and Rick decided to leave New Caney, Texas to pursue their music and move to Los Angeles. While back in Texas visiting over the holidays, Adam convinced Ross to make the move to LA as well. The threesome worked in various projects together with a variety of vocalists, but in the fall of 2004 they weren’t completely satisfied and they once again placed an ad in a local newspaper.
Vinn Lombardo (vocals) answered that ad. Originally from White Plains, New York, Vinn moved to Los Angeles to also pursue music. He was working with another band at the time but when he heard the instrumental tracks, he knew that there was something special there.
“We auditioned almost 200 vocalists. I think that Vinn was the 191st, we knew he was the one when he walked in, he had the vibe we were looking for. Then he started singing and… well the rest is history,” says Adam. With all of the pieces now in place, Building A Better Spaceship was born. The band has written over 50 songs together with influences including U2, the Police and Stone Temple Pilots to name a few.
The chemistry was immediate. The newly formed band began writing and writing and writing. From the first session they all had a natural ability to easily create songs together. Almost immediately they were in the studio recording their first 3 songs and began playing shows at various venues throughout California, Las Vegas and Hawaii. “Successfully reflected rock music from all different backgrounds while still keeping it real.” –Smash Magazine
With their diverse approach to modern rock and their honest and passionate live shows, they have broken through that unbreakable wall of recognition in Los Angeles.
