I had wanted to play drums since the age of 9 when I saw a drum set in the window of a music store for the first time. We took lessons at a local music school and began playing together after about 6-9 months of lessons.

In January of 1995, my family and I moved to Seattle. Pearl Jam did the first of their live radio broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, along with many other Seattle musicians.

I remember wearing overcoats, hiding in the bushes outside of Abbey Road Studios, waiting for the traffic to clear. As it did, we would drop our overcoats and run out on to the cross walk and strike our poses.

I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's.

In 1991, Eleven was signed and released "Awake In A Dream." We toured in 1992, including some shows opening for Pearl Jam.

In 1977 we graduated Bancroft and went on to Fairfax High. At some point we started playingwith a bass player but he wasn't as interested as us in a career in music. We needed to find a bass player that was as into music as we were.

We were called Anthymback then. Flea spent time with Alain and Hillel learning to play our songs. We rehearsed all the time. Flea and Anthony Kiedis were best buddies, so we all became friends.

We completed and released "No Code" in 1996. We began some off and on touring for that release.

In August of 1994, I heard that Pearl Jam was going to be looking for another drummer. This time I wanted to try.

My costume was that of Gene Simmons. I had used a tennis ball cut in half to create a cod piece. I was really spaced out that day in school and as I was walking in historyclass this guy, who wanted to see if the cod piece was real, gave me a punch in the balls.

So, during the middle of recording the second What Is This record Hillel left to rejoin The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

After wrestling with myself for six months, I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car, but that didn't last.

I did not know him well then, but Flea recalls a story when we were in 6th grade: For about a year Flea and I attended the same elementary school, Carthay Center in Los Angeles. I had been there since kindergarten. He was a new kid in 6th grade.

I became unsure about the future, in terms of my career. I was living in a remote location contemplating other kinds of work, not only in music.

What Is This beganrecording their second record with Todd Rundgren. Hillel had begun considering returning to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

It was a difficult road for What Is This. Their business did not come easy. Eventually, the lack of success forced different directions.

Pearl Jam liked to play that song (called "Small Mosquito") as the song that played before we went on stage.

In 1993, Eleven released their second record, which was self-titled. We began a stretch of touring that included opening for Soundgarden.

Flea says, on his first day or so, I drew a pictureof a funny face and passed it around the class. It read, "Hi, I am Michael Balzary" (I don't remember that). Hillel wanted Flea to play the bass for us. And so he did.

I finished the recordings I had started with Eleven. Matt Cameron joined for the rest of those sessions.
