“If you asked me why I want to be a rock star...it’s not about the fame or money. I have a unique opportunity to inspire people and kids with disabilities with my playing, my music and my story,” guitarist/songwriter Brandon Mendenhall states. “I truly believe that's what I was put on this earth to do.” Mendenhall, born with Cerebral Palsy, an incurable neurological disorder of movement and posture, faces numerous challenges. With limited mobility on his left side and zero mobility in his left hand, the odds were stacked against him from birth. Inspired by bands such as Korn and Pantera, Brandon taught himself how to play guitar at the age of 19, rehabilitating his left hand with no surgical intervention. “Once I was able to get a guitar in my hands, it changed my life. That passion for music sparked something in his soul and a dream began to form. A dream that was thought to be impossible. Brandon wanted to play guitar and to form a band. Brandon recalls: “My grandfather told me ‘you’ll never be a guitarist. Don’t even try.’ And that crushed me. Those words lit a fire in me. I was determined that I could do this. “ The Mendenhall Experiment was born as Brandon's own personal experiment to be in a nationally recognized band working with the limitations Cerebral Palsy had given him, knowing full well that the odds were stacked against him finding a band that would work with him. Armed with a fierce determination to succeed as a musician, Brandon went to visit a friend in Los Angeles and never left, pursuing his dream with tenacity and determination. Failure was not an option.

Every now and then you meet people who change your perception, and quite possibly your life. We were lucky enough to have such an experience this year at the Monster Energy Drink Aftershock Festival media tent when we met, hung out with and had a conversation with Brandon Mendenhall and Mike Lira of The Mendenhall Experiment. After watching their set on the main stage, we headed in and met the band. This group of young men had been working their asses off all weekend in the media area, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Brandon Mendenhall has spent his life pursuing his passion and dream of becoming a musician all while living with Cerebral Palsy. Our time with them left us all feeling introspective, thankful, and grateful we had this amazing opportunity. We can't wait for our follow up conversation coming soon. We will also be collaborating with the band very soon in a charity auction event. Please take some time to listen to their story, their awesome music, and support them. http://www.themendenhallexperiment.com/home https://www.facebook.com/TheMendenhallExperiment/ #themendenhallexperiment #aftershock #honestbrutality #staymetal

We did not get to play our scheduled slot on Saturday night at Rocklahoma due to tornado warnings/festival shutdown However they were kind enough to let us play on Sunday at noon before we headed back on tour. It's a sweaty, dirty, pants falling off kinda rock show.
