Tryax(1981)   Poway Battle of the Bands Winner 1981! Original Members: David Shoudy '80: guitar, vocals Alex Agundez: guitar, vocals Bo West: bass, vocals Marty Scott: drums  After CHS, the college era begins, and Dave Shoudy spots musical opportunities beyond Coronado's surrounding moat. Free SD Reader adds come in handy for the starving student, musician; and, Shoudy joins Tryax. Tryax performed covers and originals at all kinds of parties, The Poway Mine Company, weddings and other special events. And even won 1st in North County's Battle of the Bands that year. Although the group never performed locally in Coronado, a 4 cut recording was distributed widely among Islanders (Brian Mealy says he's still has his). Recorded at Circle Sound...was a 1st timer for all. Shoudy's 1st round as a paid performer. Summer 1981, Tryax at the Del Mar Fair (from upper-right clockwise: Dave Shoudy, Alex Agundez, Bo West, Marty Scott). Rehersals at Poway Stoway, Poway.......back when hwy 15 had stoplights.                    A summer party in Clairemont. WINNER! Poway Battle of the Bands Tryax 1981.
