Lunch Hour Six Pack has been together since 2007. 

Bassist Jon Zayle and rhythm guitarist Brian Comiskey grew up in Middlesex Borough, listening to their fair share of hard rock and heavy metal acts like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Van Halen, Rush, Queensryche & Anthrax. Over time, The Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Tool, The Beatles, Dream Theater, 80s and 90s alternative, funk and everything else seeped in as well.

After playing in a number of bands in and after college, Jon took a few years off playing in bands. In the fall of 2005, he jammed with Brian and some of Brian's cousins in East Stroudsburg, PA. There, Jon met guitarist Mike Comiskey of Metuchen, whose technical proficiency and interest in progressive rock was a perfect fit. Mike had many side projects over the years playing guitar, but kept his focus on raising a family and pursuing his business career. (Mike was the winner of the “Boogie With Satch” guitar competition, where he dueled it out with another finalist on 105.5 WDHA morning show in October 2008).

For a few years, the five played loosely as "The Onion 5," playing family gatherings and jams with other musicians a few times a year in NJ and PA. 

Wanting to get back in action, Jon approached Mike in September 2007 to start a band. On a piece of paper, he had the name "lunch hour sixpack," a list of 24 songs and the goal to play out by March 2008 with Brian on rhythm guitar. On November 3, 2007, Rob Ussia, sat in for a rehearsal with the guys. After running through 4 songs as if they had played together, the last piece of the puzzle was in place, and the band was complete. 

Lunch Hour Six Pack played its first show on March 22, 2008 -- a 12 song set following two other local bands. They played their first full show on April 12, 2008.

In lieu of a full time lead vocalist, the band split lead vocal duties, which allowed them to tackle a number of different genres. However, the band invited other musicians and singers to join them during the night when possible. In January 2010, in response to the band's invite for anyone to join them, Dominic Musolino sang "I Alone", and was asked to join the band for 6 more songs. After the show, the band stayed in contact, and Dom performed songs at a subsequent show, joing the band later that night.

Lunch Hour Six Pack continues to play classic and modern rock covers all over New Jersey, and has traveled to Pennsylvania as well for private and corporate events. By the end of 2011, the band will have played its 100th show.

In October 2010, Jon and Mike began performing at happy hours as an acoustic/bass duo. They continue to play as Jon & Mike. 
 
The phrase "Lunch Hour Six Pack" dates back to 1995.
