The Goodwin Club

The Goodwin Club started in 1993. Members were all from the Huntington Beach area and mostly went to Edison High School. The original line up was Tami Demaree (vocals), Charles Grey (guitar) , Erick Hauser (bass), Marc Bosman(keys) , Andy Goodman (drums), Patrick McDonald (trombone), Jesse Wilder (sax), Adam Diebert (trumpet), Christ Scott (vocals). Later members included Aaron Barrett (trombone), Scott Klopfenstein (trumpet), Grant Barry (trombone), Dean Medford (sax) , Corey Pollack (guitar) and Rich Zahniser (trombone). The band dissolved in 1995 due to half the band going on to college. Most remaining members joined The Aquabats while other members were in The Hippos, The Scholars, Teen Heroes and Reel Big Fish.

Their very first real show played was Sublime, Guttermouth, Game face, One Eye Open, Knuckle Brothers at the old Icehouse. They went on to play out almost every 2 weeks. The LA Times once commented after seeing them live… “It seemed like they were having more fun than the audience…”. The band recorded only one album called Soda in 1994, but were on many influential ska compilations.
