Starting off in a drummer's garage in the fall of 2000, four kids from south Orange County began to create the music that influenced their lives. The original line up of Chaser consisted of Mike LeDonne, who pretty much got everything up and running by bringing up the idea of starting a band, and 3 other mutual friends from high school: AJ Latteri, Josh Millican, and Mike Denning (ex-guitar). After Mike D. went away to Hawaii for school, Mike L. picked up the task of guitar and vocals as things took off from there. Chaser soon began to spread their name and music all across Orange County, LA, San Diego, Riverside, Arizona, and Vegas while their fan base grew rapidly with each show. Then, by the end of 2002, another old friend from school, Nate Warner, was brought into the band to take over guitar leaving Mike with just vocals and everything was set from there. Chaser is doing everything they can to contribute to the punk scene and stay true to their roots while playing energy and emotion filled sets with infectious stage performances. They've earned the reputation of being one of the hardest working bands in O.C. by promoters and other local bands, while booking all shows and tours DIY. The main objective of this band is to let people know that even with the ever-growing number of bands that try to take the title of being "punk rock" but fall far from it, there is definitely still a scene and Chaser is making music to help keep it that way.
