Published July 17, 2008 06:25 pm - Fort Gibson rockers get ready to celebrate their return By Travina Coleman Phoenix Staff Writer If anyone remembers the band Animosity or Anume, they will be happy to hear the rock band is back together.
And it’s serious. Jeremy Kerns, lead vocals and guitarist; Casey Gragg, guitarist and backup vocalist; Jamie Nail, drummer; and Brian Blake, bass, have recently formed their newest group, 2 Mile. Kerns said the band name reflects where they were brought up — in Fort Gibson. 2 Mile will be performing Sunday at The Otherside in Tulsa. “We really just want some exposure,” Kerns said. “We have all come to a great place in our lives and we are ready for the next step.” Gragg, who is married to Tammy and has four daughters, Leah, 13, Casey, 10, Audrey, 4, and Ireland, 3 months, said he is happy to be doing what he loves. “It’s fun,” he said. “I am the guitarist and I do backup vocals.” Some of the band’s greatest influences are Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Johnny Cash, Sevendust, just to name a few. “When we first started in 1993 we were pretty heavy,” Kerns said. “But now we are kind of moving to a style that will appeal to a broader audience.” Kerns said old fans and new ones should like what they hear. “We haven’t completely lost our roots,” he said. “Some of it is hard, but the stuff we write is more diverse now.” Gragg said he’s kind of nervous to be back on stage. “It’s just different now,” he said. “But it’ll be good.” Kerns is married to Angela and they have two daughters, Lilli, 10 and Annika, 5.
