Kris Dunlop - Lead/Rhythm Guitar and Backing Vocals
Born in Edmonton in 84', Kris had an early start on music.
Raised by a father who blasted ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC,
and many more, Kris knew of no other kind of music than hard
rockin' hard rock! Picked up a guitar when he was about 9,
and did the usual kid thing, and stuffed it in the closet 3
months later cause he couldn't slam out 'Mary had a friggin' lamb'.
A few years later, Kris got his hands on an AC/DC concert tape.
Now, Kris has been an AC/DC fanatic since he was about 3...
but seeing Angus Young play live, made KISS, Ozzy, and everyone else look
like nose bacon. Not to say there is anything wrong with KISS or Ozzy...
they friggin' rule, but Angus is the lord of all
kick ass. So getting back to the AC/DC vid... After watching the
concert over and over and over, Kris realized that
playing guitar was where it was at. He pulled that $47 guitar
out of the closet, dusted it off, and started playing again.
Didn't take any lessons, just sat in front of his stereo and
blasted 'Back in Black' over and over 'til he got it right. The rest is
history...high school hit, he had a couple bands, all of which went
no where. Now...after the whole TOMMY saga...Kris is ready and
totally stoked to get rockin' with the 'new' band, DeSousa Drive
...Are you ready? Cause here it comes!

Because there's nothing wrong with being mentally challenged.
