I'm playing bass with a kick-ass band called Systematic Chaos. We're a 3-piece band and have yet to decide if we're going to stay that way, playing classic rock and maybe even a few progressive things. I'm fairly dedicated to the band, but I'll be recording more of my own material soon, and I'm always looking for an excuse to jam with other musicians.

As for me, I'm just another old fart who finds myself a never-was, but who can still play circles around most of the youngins with all that hardware in their faces. Right now I'm working on a novel and am laying the groundwork for a CD based upon that novel. I hope to be putting up samples of the music here in the next couple of months.

On my song samples;

I played all of the instruments on "This Old Dawg" and recorded and mixed it at home in Saint Petersburg, Florida on my DAW.

The other songs were recorded live with Systematic Chaos at Demmi's Market in the old Ybor City section of Tampa, Florida. I played bass on both and sang one of the vocal parts on Crossroads.

If you want to know more about me, search Google for "Wicasta Lovelace" or visit wicasta.com. And yes, I'm the guy associated with the Malleus Maleficarum online project.
