Minor Authority

Minor Authority was formed in late 2004 by Nathan Harris (later to become the infamous "B.W." Harris) and original guitarist Steve Kicreast. The Punk Rock duo began playing in clubs and dive bars with only their guitars and a drum machine, but because of the lack of songs a typical MA set was only a mere ten minutes. After Steve left the band to start his own blues solo project Nate tried to recruit new members into the band with little success. After two and a half something years of nothing happening except for depression and a nasty drug habit, Nate moved to Longmont to help calm his wicked lifestyle. In late 2007 after providing vocals on "Liberty Bell" (which would become the first Minor Authority song ever) Nate began collaberating with Denver music scene veteran Chris Barber about recording a full Minor Authority album. After two years of writing with longtime friend and musical guru Ian P. Gilchrist and recording with Ian and Love 45 drummer Jim Messina, the first album "Punk Side Up" was born.
