ABOUT

I've been in 4 bands since I started playing in 2000. When I started playing I had no idea what to do and I haven't taken any lessons; I have learned from other musicians just by watching them and playing along. Anyway here's the deal...I have not worked for almost two years now, I want to, I desperately want to but I made some stupid descions from the age of 19 to 26. McDonald's wont even give me a chance! That's as bad as it can get I would imagine. So if you play or sing or do both and you know you are good enough to go out into the public and the public will pay money to listen or the establishment hears the ep and says yes I will pay X amount of $'s yadda yadda yah. You get the point. I'm ready to give it everything I have right now because I I know that if I can find the right group of guys or ladies then at the very least we can play a few shows a month to start with and definalety have a EP of around 4 to 7 songs floating around the area and Internet. I want to be a part of a band that has a unique sound. It isn't possible to write something that has some influence inside but it is very possible to create something that people haven't heard. The singer in my opinion is going to have to be the one that stands out the most as far as unique goes. So that's enough jibber jabber. Peace
