	The band was formed in February 2009, ~~by Bruce, Franklin and Mark~~. ~~Fredu joined~~ the ~~group after~~ a ~~while and the name Dry Connections was chosen~~ from ~~the dry joints they observed in their faulty equipment.~~ Steve was the ~~last member to join~~.		The band '''Dry Connections''' was formed in February of 2009. From that day, the musicians have always remained the same. From the beginning for us it was very hard to find a vocalist. Several auditions were made from which eventually [[Steve Farrugia]] was selected as the first vocalist for Dry Connections.

The single was aired on local radios and reached the 1st position on [[Malta’s Top 10]] after 12 weeks in the chart.

The video was co-produced by [[Ready.set.go]]. It was featured on the 350th [[Mużika Mod Ieħor]] podcast by Toni Sant on Saturday 7 September 2013.		The band also took part in several music events, such as the [[Rookies battle of the Bands]] and the [[Beland Music Fest]]. After one final gig in summer 2012, former vocalist Steve decided to leave the band. While the band was without a vocalist, material was still being written, but it was very hard to continue without a frontman.

			This was the most critical time for us and several attempts were made to find a new vocalist. The band was even going to give up the search. Then we heard of Carmelo Ebejer (lello) which he is already known as a worthy singer, since he had already participated in National music events such as [[Voices]] and [[Rockestra]]. Fingers were kept crossed, with some convincing and not much less sweating! he eventually became Dry Connections current vocalist.

			This year he was very busy getting married and finalizing his Masters Thesis in I.T. but the band still managed to record their second single, '''Reach Out''', at [[Railway Studios]] was released on [[iTunes]] on 30 August 2013. A music video for this song appeared on [[YouTube]] on 1 September 2013.

Dry Connections have taken part in fund raising events for children.

			Future projects include: recording other material that is available and ultimately recording an album. Perhaps a more ambitious music video too!
