- Virgos Merlot was a hard rock band formed in 1998. Prior to the formation of Virgos Merlot, many of the band members were in the group "The Devine",which later disbanded. After formation, their first album, Signs of a Vacant Soul, was released in 1999, and featured densely-produced atmospheric guitars, a heavy rhythm presence, and the commanding vocals of lead singer Brett Hestla. The original lineup disbanded sometime after the release of Signs of a Vacant Soul, with the band later reforming without guitarist Jason Marchant. During this period, they were known simply as Virgos and self-released an album, The Path of Least Resistance. Virgos disbanded sometime in 2002/2003. After touring with Creed as replacement live bassist for Brian Marshall, Hestla joined Dark New Day in 2004. Marchant, JD and Ledbetter went on to form the band Red Halo. Chris Dickerson later played bass for Downstem [with JD on drums] and Course of Nature. As of October 9, 2008, it was stated by 4 of the original 5 band members that they have decided to reunite for a 10 year anniversary, and a show has been scheduled for January 9, 2009 at The Workplay Theatre in Birmingham, AL. The show will feature Marchant on lead guitar, Deacon on guitar, Chris Dickerson on Bass, JD Charlton on drums, and Chase Davidson from Red Halo on Vocals, making Brett Hestla the only former member not returning for the reunion. An EP is also being recorded with three new songs. All updates will be directed through http://www. virgosmerlot. net which is their new official website.
