1989-1990 I was in an alternative college rock band called THE ATTITUDE. We played part covers and orginals. We played U2, The Cure, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Violent Femmes, David Bowie, The Romantics, New Order...

1994-1995 I was in a hard-core heavy metal band (still played single bass drum then) called MISSING SINCE MONDAY. We played mostly originals, but covered Danzig, Black Sabbath, Stormtroopers of Death, Anthrax...

1998 I played in a middle of the road pop and country band called THE CAPGUNS. We played all covers. We covered Cracker, Radney Foster, Steve Earl, Dead Eye Dick, The Plim Souls, Stone Temple Pilots, Cheap Trick, The Bo Deens, The Squeeze, The Smithereens, Los Lobos, Oasis, The Clash, Green Day, Material Issue...

In each band we gigged regularly and recorded a professional demo.
