BIOGRAPHY: After meeting each other in 2001, Jaik Yanez and Steve-O Work had found a common interest in music, and especially rock music. At the time, they were in two different bands, Jaik in one, Steve-O and his brother, David in their own. Both of their bands supported each other. Then, in December of 2003, Jaik, David, and Steve-O got together to jam out to classic rock songs that all three of them had listened to while growing up. When asked to play at a mutual friend's party in January of 2004, they came together as a simple cover band called, "Jonny Rocket and the Infinite Astronauts". That evening, a guitarist from a local band approached them. He asked them to warm up for his band at a local bar. It was then that the three decided to join and form as a band. To give their newly formed band more versatility, they chose to invite Isaac Brown, David's close friend, who would play bass guitar, and Jaik would sing and play rhythm guitar. David and Steve-O played their respective instruments. Playing mostly Classic Rock and Modern Alternative Rock, the band changed its name to "Endofathom". They practiced for weeks getting a solid and rehearsed set list down for a show at a local bar called the Hidden Tavern. When the night came to play, the four-piece blew the small, but energetic crowd away with hits like Thin Lizzy's, The Boys Are Back In Town, Jimi Hendrix's, Fire, and stunning the crowd with a cover of RUSH's, The Spirit of Radio. The audience could not believe that four high school students could perform such complex and technical music with a highly professional and charismatic attitude. After several more shows, the band decided that the name Endofathom did not suit the members of the band or their music. Realizing that two of the members were 16 years old at the time and two were 18, the band decided to call themselves their current name, Halfway Legal. Several weeks later, the bassist, Isaac, left the band for college. Not sure what to do or how they could recover, the band went and saw their idols, RUSH, in concert. After seeing such an example of amazing musicianship, and raw talent, the remaining members were inspired to become a three-piece band. With less than a week to prepare for a previously booked show, Jaik, David, and Steve-O pushed themselves to re-learn most of the songs that they had previously performed as a four piece band, including The Spirit of Radio, and a new addition, RUSH's Red Barchetta. Once again, but this time as a trio, they shocked the crowd. Since then, the band has played numerous shows and has gathered countless fans in the process, never disappointing a crowd. Although the members of Halfway Legal are fairly young, their music, especially their originals, reach audiences with a wide age variety. This is due to the large Classic Rock influence in their music, while still capturing a modern sound. While playing together for the past three years, Jaik, David, and Steve-O have pushed each other to become better musicians and to rise above difficulties to make them stronger musically and personally. With powerful vocals, intense guitar solos and intricate riffs, melodic bass lines, and technical drumming, Halfway Legal has become one of the premier bands of San Antonio, and is well on their way to making their name familiar in the musical community.
