History of World’s Fair Hotel
World’s Fair Hotel formed in early 2014 with just guitarist Eric Dees and drummer Rodney Evou. Then Rodney met up with old friend Justin Evans. They would practice in a storage shed on a song that went on to become Zombie Dinner Party. After a few months they got in touch with an old highschool friend Alex Pickle, It was then where we got serious and started to write new material. Which there is no way to describe our unique sound besides use your imagination. Another few months past and we went through many member/Lineup changes. So many drummers, so many frontmen. Just as we were about to give up, we narrowed it down to a 3 piece Rodney, Eric, and Justin. We eventually found our awesome drummer, David Malloy, in May of 2015 who would become a permanent member. Once we found him we started shredding and melting faces with our own original sound. It wasn’t long before we realized that were missing something, a lead guitarist. Enter Dustin Jimmerson, a long time friend of David's. He came in and amplified the sound 100 times over. With something still feeling not quite complete. We decided a full time front man would make things incredible. Ultimately, we decided to move Justin from bass and supporting vocals to being a full time frontman. Bringing in Micheal Sellers on the bass. Now a five piece,we strived to hit the ground running..things went well for a while but like all things in life, things took a turn with all but two members remaining, Rodney and Micheal.We refused to let the dream die so we did what was needed to start the process over and moving things around with Rodney taking on full time drums and Micheal on bass, we linked up with Kevin Kilpatrick for a lead guitar player and started on re -working and adding more to the songs. Rodney then reached out to his brother Bruce to play rhythm guitar. While things were looking up,life took a turn and Micheal had to depart for family reasons and now the hunt for a bass guitarist was back on.. Where we found Daniel Woods we played a handful of shows with the line up but as it would be, things didnt work out and we went our seperate ways.As time went on, Founding memeber Rodney then decided to just make the music himself with writing new material were all instruments were played by him.The thought of rebranding and doing something different with a buddy, Richie Hoggsett and Micheal Sellers, was looking like a new chapter in their life. Then Richie's former band mate, Doug Lane, hit up Rodney asking if it was cool to come over and jam with them and Rodney agreed we then proceeded to jam out though the night until Doug asked Rodney about World's Fair Hotel because he hadn't heard them before so Rodney showed him some material and Doug instanly said to Rodney ,"The hell with this other stuff WE NEED TO BE DOING THIS!" ..Enters the rebirth of Worlds Fair Hotel with Doug Lane taking the role of Lead Frontman Vocals and Rodney moving to Rhythm Guitar and Micheal on Bass Guitar we moved to find other members to start this new chapter. So Doug then reached out to David about coming back to play Drums and Kevin to re-join as lead guitar. Now that a plan was in motion, we once again became a five piece and got straight to work. Everything was going great for about four months until David had to unfortunetly depart from us. Once again, we had a line up difficulty but Doug then recruited a friend of a friend,Joey Nelson, to come try out on drums and it was an instant power house five piece again. Months went by and we played show after show until November were we ultimatly lost Kevin on lead for reasons unknown so back to the board. We decided to find the right person with the talent we needed, enters Steven Powell, who was an exact fit for us. Just the kicker that Worlds Fair Hotel needed!! He brought more and more structure to the songs by adding in extra flair. Now we are exactly were we want to be so the show went on. We then talked as a group and decided let's bring a little something extra into the mix where we talked with Dustin to come back as a back up and harmony guitarist. Here we are now 2024 and for 10 years we have struggled with line up changes and pandemics everyday life situations but through all of that the OUR Dream has never died we are at the best we have ever been and we are not about to stop...
