ABOUT

All the original song ideas I posted are very basic works in progress done on a basic computer program. They are not finished, or set in stone. They are open to interpretation and collaboration. Everything is very bare bones, sketchbook type stuff, but you'll get the idea.

Looking for Musical Oddballs of all ages to collaborate on making interesting, weird music. Not weird for the sake of being weird though.

Just like early Prince, DEVO, Roxy Music, David Bowie, weren't trying to be weird, they just were...

I've been playing guitar since 1981, and actually made a living at it for a time. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

I've been out of the game for a bit, but I can't help but want to continue to play and create with other like minded creative types.

I've been in a bunch of bands playing many different types of music, but I think my forte would be Alternative, Twisted Pop, Heavy, Punk, Stoner, New Wave, Dark Wave Rock music based around great songs.

I was a member of The Breeders, and the Punk band FEAR for a long time, but again, I like all kinds of music. The Weirder, the better!!!
