It began in 1996 when Shayne Lawrence decided to start a band with a couple of friends, Adam Hates You. He had previously been writing music and wanted to give it a live feel instead of just a computer. The band lasted two and a half years. In November of 1998, Shayne went on a trip to Calgary, Alberta. There for only one week, he decided it was time for a change. He left the band and quit his job.
In 1999 Twitch started in Calgary with a limited cassette tape release appropriately named Twitch. From 2002 to 2008 Shayne's one man show released three CDs respectively; We are Here to Dance!, TCP/IP, and Welcome.
Shayne is currently looking for live members (Guitarist). You can contact him at daemon_w60@shaw.ca, message him on myspace.com/twitchtheoriginal,reverbnation.com/twitch00, or at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Twitch/190255892796 He currently resides in the Calgary, AB. Canada region.
