Beers was originally intended as a solo album venture of Mikey Chuck Rivers under the name "Older Kiss". While divulging the idea to Weebs Jr. and Cactus Keith, they realized there was no reason to continue as a bathroom-bound acoustic one-off and promptly scrapped "Older Kiss" in favour of the full-band Beers. Beers are currently writing and preparing for their first as-yet-untitled release. Already blazing several live shows, 2010 will see Beers destroying some parts of somewhere if they can get their hands on it. Watch out.

Going back and forth across this country from the Yukon, Gordie has performed some 200 shows a year either solo or with his band.

He also does other things before he gets to share his music like book his tours, promote them, manage his band, radio track his records, act as an agent, road manager, publicist, apply for things, pay for everything, parent the kids and make time for the girl.
