In 1994, an unlikely meeting between Darrell Patrick and Kenny Easterly sowed the seeds of Delusive Dream. Their following meetings would see the two jamming and not long after, writing original music, which they continued to do over the next few years. In 1997, the band included Patrick Ols as bassist/vocalist. Soon they released a 6 song EP entitled Lethargy. Delusive Dream gathers a buzz around its name within Northeast Ohio and elsewhere, as they continue to play local clubs and clubs out of state. By word of mouth and with a little help from the web, they would come to find that they were developing a fan base not only in the states, but abroad. n 2001, second guitarist Bo Mroczkowski was added to the line-up. The band had slowed down over the months prior to his joining and they were now eager to play more live shows as well as do more practicing and writing. However, Ols had grown disillusioned with the lack of response from the music scene to push Delusive Dream out of an opening slot band to a constant headliner. As a result, Pat had started playing second guitar with the band Gatlin and communication between Ols and Delusive Dream became increasingly difficult. Eventually, Ols and Delusive Dream parted ways. The split came as a relief to both parties as they were now able to focus exclusively on their respective paths. The band was having difficulty finding replacements for the bass and vocal voids and went through several line-up changes within a short period of time. In 2002, the band asked friend and bassist Hank Leibold to fill the bass spot. Delusive Dream, having played shows with Hank before, were confident they had found the bass player they needed. Hank passed away in 2014.
