In the spring of '99 Will received a call from Mike.'Hey man, I need someone to play some guitar tracks for some parts I have. I've got a new computer program I want to try out.' Mike and Will used to play in several bands together but Will became disenchanted with the scene while Mike remained active as a drummer.'Yeah, dude,' replied Will,'I've been wanting to jam, when you wanna do it? I'm free tonight' 'Come on over.' COOL was born. That first night two songs were written. They decided that Sundays would be set aside for recording. New songs were being churned out at a rapid rate. The first two, Don't Give It Away and I Win, which would later be dropped, were followed by Your Lovin', If, and Spice Girls.

Will knew that leads were not his strong point so he and Mike agreed to bring in an outside soloist. A couple of weeks before, they had run into Jason at a local fair. They knew each other from the local scene and talked about who was doing what. Will remembered that Jason was free and looking to jam. Having remembered where Jason said he was working, Will called Jason's work, 'Jason, I don't know if you remember me, my name's Will, we talked at the Crawfish fest.' 'Yeah man, what's up?' 'I have a project and I need a lead player.' 'Yeah?' 'Yeah. Would you be interested in hearing some tracks and if you like them - lay down some lead work?' 'Sure.'

Jason was invited to COOL Headquarters for a session. It worked out well, tracks were laid and collaborations ensued. The trio decided to start rehearsing with a bass player named Rob Flanagan, a friend. However, Rob's busy schedule lent the band no real availability. COOL was bass player hunting. After wining and dining some prospects a very close friend of Mike and Will said,'Hey, why don't you let me play bass?' 'Denny, you haven't picked up a guitar in ten years,' added Mike. But they decided since he was a friend he deserved at least a chance. Denny bought a bass, learned the songs, and laid tracks - in two weeks.

COOL was solid, the band took form, and the CD 'Lovin Life' was recorded solely on a computer program. The music itself is reminiscent of the straightforward sound embodied in acts like Van Halen, early Lenny Kravitz, KISS, early Motley Crue, and The Cult. All songs are collaborated upon and no one member writes a song. Above all, the music makes you want to party - and that's Rock'n'Roll -COOL-.
