Music types: Classic Rock
Description: The name "Loose Change" is an indirect reference to the years of experience each member brings to this lineup. Arch fronted the band "Venus Alley" in Montana for 13 years before relocating to Topeka. Ryan and Bill have each played in various projects, notably "The Buzz" in Topeka. Taking all of the experience and throwing it into one "pot" so to speak, is like a gathering of loose change... each like a remnant of a dollar, but when put together, has as much or more of the original power.
Voted Topeka's #3 Top Band! Live and ready to party! 70's Rock to the BEST New Rock, these guys have the party bases covered! Come see what the fuss is all about.
"We're a high energy five piece rock band currently working as a cover band in the Topeka and NE Kansas area. Most of us grew up here and we all call Topeka home. As far as entertainment goes, Topeka gets overlooked quite often. There aren't many big name acts that come here because KC and Wichita are so close. So what can we do about that??? We started our own band and call it No Sympathy!
We are on a mission to provide high quality, hard rocking entertainment to the starving masses of NE kansas. We do songs from the biggest names in rock. We hope we do them justice! With a wealth of experience under our collective belts we are hitting the club scene right now! It is rare to find an onstage chemistry that works as well as ours. Come see for yourself! We'll see you there!"
