Sookie!


So there it be. I had nothing last week and apologize. Well, kind of. I actually spent last week end coming to terms with owning a car, living in Aurora and dating a new lady.

This week I was going to write about the super bowl and superstitions and how it compares to cycling and our superstitions but at the last minute, literally five minutes ago, I decided that there wasn’t enough teeth to wrap the chain around and flushed the idea. .

So instead, I will leave you with my craigslist add, where I am trying to “get the band back together”. Enjoy!

GUITAR/VOCALIST SEEKING BAND/DRINKING BUDDIES

I am a guy with a guitar, amp and a beard in search of a band, or group of humans, to play music with. I'm at home with fast, aggressive and progressive sounds and riffs. I'm more of a lead style player adding melodic/discordant riffs to off time structures and/or driving rhythms. Beats.

My vocal style ranges from raspy-ness, to clean to screaming, to growling and just plain non-sense, all in one song if needed. I like the variety.

The last music project I was part of was called This Apparatus where I played guitar, did lead vocals and flailed around, mostly never missing a beat. I thrive off of live shows, I have lot's of energy, but also love a relaxing evening at home, sipping some brandy and writing mind blowing riffs whilst watching Sex and the City re-runs.

Influences you ask? A Wilhelm Scream, The Dillinger Escape Plan, fordirelifesake, American Steel, Nekrogoblikon... looking... at... phone.... iwrestledabearonce, The Human Abstract, Protest the Hero, Mumford and Sons, The Vandals, Guttermouth, Foxy Shazam, Django Reind.... (Forgot the speeling), Hot Water Music, Tera Melos, The Sounds of Animals Fighting, Streetlight Manifesto, At the Drive-In, RX Bandits (Basically TSOAF) The Fall of Troy, and I am sure there is plenty more that I am leaving out.

I've got 18+ years of live show, touring and recording experience.... I think.... I have my own car, my own gear, a job, no animals, I aint no scrub.

Here is a link to my SoundCloud and some of the things I have done. Most of the vocals are me, I'm on guitar on all of them, and a few I am playing bass, violin, and some I just made up on my iPad while taking a bubble bath.

So let’s play some music! Anybody... Anybody at all.... Let’s do it. Boom. If you are interested that is..... Or even if you're not....
