Helping Out

Jon Moon

Bass Guitar

Jon helped 500$fine through much of their time together, and it was not uncommon for his band Target For Aggression, and 500$Fine to play shows together. After Patrick's passing, he filled in on bass for a few performances.

Dan Tulloh

Bass Guitar

Dan was a longtime friend of the band, and after Patrick's passing, filled in on Bass during a few performances. He played guitar in the bands Indypendant, From Earth To Ashes, and later, Scarlett.

Bradley Lile

Bass Guitar

Bradley Lile was the bass player for Cloud 13, a punk band older than 500$fine. When 500$fine met the band, a kindship was formed and under their wing, the two bands played many shows together. Over those years, Bradley became a close friend of the band. When the reunion was considered, Bradley was the band's first thought of who would play bass. His gritty yet melodic style had been one of the orginal inspirations for 500$fine's own sound.
