Floorpie was a four-piece skate punk formed in 1999 by Onslow College students Mark Leong (vocals), Jeremy Graham (guitar), Sebastian Meek (bass), and Richie Voss (drums). Named after a Homer Simpson quote from The Simpsons<\/em>, the band drew inspiration from 1990s American punk bands. They self-released a demo, Five Songs That Suck<\/strong>, in 1999 and played all ages shows at Thistle Hall<\/a><\/strong> alongside bands like Channel 13<\/a><\/strong>, Brubeck<\/a><\/strong>, Blake<\/a><\/strong>, Kitsch<\/strong>, and Sommerset<\/strong>. Part of a late 90’s resurgence of punk bands that shifted away from the anarcho-punk and crust influences of the earlier in the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2000, Jason Gascoigne replaced Voss on drums, and Mark Leong left to form Pedal Faster<\/a><\/strong>, leading to Matt Sherbourne of Channel 13<\/a><\/strong> taking over vocals. The new lineup debuted at a Valve show on March 25, 2000, but the band fizzled out by winter that year. Jeremy Graham and Jason Gascoigne later formed Sheriff Lobo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
