HISTORY: The founder of The Red Church, The REVEREND was classicly trained as a cellist when he was a child. He also had some experience playing drums and electric bass in a Pentacostal church. Singing was always something the Reverend enjoyed, but never pursued, until much later in life, when he found his calling on the alter of Karaoke. One of Alvarado's first recordings, "Evil Thoughts" was recorded in the fall of 1999, along with the Ultra-Rare "A Place in Heaven". Though extremely noisey and lacking in solid production values, Evil Thoughts (along with the original version of "Mind Worms/The Return") was good enough to win Alvarado a berth at the Dark Arts festival. While involved with the Festival, Alvarado would meet and work with Jay Grinder of Solitary Sinners who he would later work with as Guitarist for the band. Shortly after the Festival, The Red Church was joined by Guitarist Paul Halldorson (AKA The Apostle), and briefly by Singer, Songwriter, Composer, Daniel Cruz (AKA The Prophet). |
