Minds Eye

Minds Eye was conceived in 2006. It was comprised of three members Dave Bolch, Jason Valenzuela, and Dave's Step Son Jack Stiles, on Bass. However the musical journey for Dave Bolch, the bands innovator, began many years before when at the age three enjoyed long sessions in the living room of their home in Carlsbad New Mexico. Dave's father (Duwayne Hurst) was a Jazz Musician who practiced often in their home for many late nights. Duwayne Hurst eventually moved to California and was lucky and Talented enough to get a short gig with the Ventures. Dave's father moved away and that was the last he saw of him. However the spark was there and Dave too picked up the drums in the school band at age 10. By age 13 he switched to guitar. Dave had many influences at the time, they were seventy's related artists like, Eric Clapton, Kiss, Thin Lizzy, Nazirath, Lynard Syknard, and ZZ Top, just a few to start with.

Then came the early eighty's when Dave first heard Van Hallen from that point on Dave was compleatly infatuated with any thing guitar. Along with with the rest of the musical community quick like Dave moved to Los Angles in 1988 to pursue a musical carrier onllu to find a dying market place for metal and wound up working a day job and playing Hollywood Blvd. At might. The band was Prime Evil, this band had a very ellaborate stage show including their own 10 foot monster with horns & even strippers. The show was on! We played Hollywood for 4 years and even though metal was dying we were very close to being signed and what happens, the band get shot to hell in 1995. 1995 was a new time and came a new band, Terabyte a Heavy Thrash 3 piece that was lucky enough to record our album in Metalica's Studio outside San Francisco now called St. Anger Studios. The Band didn't receive any compinsation but all cost wer paid for and for the experiance alone. It was worth it for Dave. Teayabyte ended in 2000. Dave left LA and moved home to New Mexico where he eventually started Minds Eye and the rest is history still in the making.
