started a band named K.G.B.

In late 1984, drummer Jim Chaffin , guitarist Greg Minier, bassist Kirk Palmer, and vocalist Wayne Stonecipher started a band named K.G.B. in Fresno , California The four teens knew each other as high school classmates. The name K.G.B. had no meaning to it, the members just thought initials “sounded cool”. In early 1985, K.G.B. was looking for a new vocalist due to the departure of Stonecipher. Minier asked his friend Mark Salomon to try out as vocalist.
