FALLOUT: The Police Experience was formed by David Rasner, (Sting), in the fall of 2002, in Hollywood, California. Named after the first single The Police, (unsigned, unknown, and without a record), released. When Mike Nieland, (Stewart), and then Pat Cherry, (Andy), were recruited, the band began to transform itself into a “fighting unit”, and within a year was playing every major club in Los Angeles. “Uncle” Ian Copeland met FALLOUT in 2003, and immediately befriended the band. He invited FALLOUT to play at The Backstage Café and arranged the meeting with Stewart. FALLOUT: The Police Experience was added to Coda Agency/The Copeland Group’s live roster in March of 2005. In the spring of 2006, Jimbo Head replaced Pat Cherry as FALLOUT’s guitarist. YO!
