The Fall Effect


It was a long time ago and it's weird looking back on it, but back in my last year of high-school I was in a pop rock band. Yes, it's true. I used to have grandiose dreams of making it big as a drummer or a successful musician (I actually still dream of this...). My long-time bud Cody and I formed the band, acquired two others and gave ourselves the name Audio Ascend (cheesy, I know, but it was mentioned and we went with it). We then added a fifth member the summer after we graduated and it sort of went downhill from there (Check out my facebook notes. I believe the first note I wrote was about the splitting-up of our band). I went off to Europe, Cody went of to B.C., and our fifth addition went off trying to control everything... I'll leave it at that (don't worry, I'm over it). Once I was gone in Europe the remaining members came up with the title The Fall Effect for our band (which I did not like at all really). Our myspace is actually still accessible believe it or not; so check out my short-lived band experience at: www.myspace.com/thefalleffect

P.s. There may be a Goossen family band in the making, just wait and see. In the meantime I am always down to jam and really want to put together a music project with some people. We'll see what happens.

Check out this clip from our live concert in Matlock, MB way back when:

  1. Not going to lie...I was huge gue fan of the fall effect. I do also remember going to your concert and I got a shitty CD that didn't work.

    I think you would have more success if you were in a band named the champagned ending...but those are only my personal opinions

    ps I want my $5 back

  3. I agree to all three of these comments, except for giving Danielle her money back. Because she should ask our fifth member who kept any proceeds we ever made.
