ZToxman + Musician in Roanoke, VA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I have played in the band South of Sanity for some 4 and a half years. We started as southern rock/grunge and slowly evolved into a more progressive rock band often described as heavy jazz, with tool'ish overtones. We recently have dissolved for a number of reasons, it was on good terms and not hate going around. I am a christian, with a desire to continue playing music that is glorifying to God. from here i don't really know where God will lead me, i Have a desire to play more heavy alternative music, some where along the lines of disturbed or rage against the machine, but as yet have not found anyone interested in playing this kind of music, or pursuing it as mature and grounded Christians. I do not want and cannot deal with drama in a band. I would like to find young, but experienced and goal oriented musicians who would like to make this a career. I have spent 13 years playing with bands and have constantly dealt with being the driven one, pulling against hobbyists. Please if you are serious give me a shout. 589.8752 dragunin at dot com feel free to check out my old band to see what I'm used to playing. God bless.
