History

Formation

Shortly after graduating from high school, Kopec formed the first original line up for the band incorporating drummer, Chris Densky, and live guitarist, Jay Saucier. The trio opened for acts such as Dope, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Zeromancer, Bile, and Nocturne. Eventually, this lineup was dissolved. As reported by Kopec in a 2005 interview for Space Junkies Magazine. Densky chose to focus all his energy on his original band. Adva, Saucier, and Kopec chose to split due to moral differences.^[1]

Intricate Unit then recruited two new live members: bassist Roger Lockshier and guitarist Mark Turko.

Intricate Unit's current line up consists of keyboardist, Ryan Dest, known better as DJ Nitez, and live guitarist Tom Voytek.^{[as of?]}
