Band History

Early Years

In 1996, Karl Miller was working for an internet broadcasting company, Play TV, making a streaming internet video show about Star Trek. Since there were no suitable Star Trek bands, he decided to form his own band to fill time [http://www.wirehedmag.com/archives/00003/warp11.html] . He had already been in bands with Jeff Hewitt as a teenager and the rest of the band fell into place. [ [http://www.badmouth.net/interview-warp-11/ Interview: Warp 11] ] Warp 11 formed in 1999 with Karl Miller, Brian Moore, Jeff Hewitt, and Kiki Stockhammer.

A New Drummer

John Merlino, although not an official member of Warp 11, could often be seen playing drums for Warp 11 during concerts to relieve Jeff and was given the unofficial rank of Ensign. At a September 2007 performance in San Francisco, Karl hinted that Jeff had left the band due to physical problems resulting from numerous injuries. John Merlino was promoted from Ensign to "Number One" (aka First Officer or Commander) at that show. Karl has stated that Jeff may return occasionally to lend his vocal talents.
