About Me:Well I enjoy long walks on the beach, and the was Jay's hair smells after a light spring rain, oh wait I mean ummmm...(SEE THATS A JOKE). Anyway Me and BOB(my main guitar)have been together for sometime now. Through many various bands(ironically with most of the same people) My old band Ive been in were called, 33 Dead Frogs, Zo The Third Sex, the fuzz kick, LINT, and the prosthetic head project, all of them which went no where and pretty much sucked in general. But now Im in BrokenHaLo. I like this band because all 5 of us come from different musical backgrounds. We all listen to completly oppisite music. Im more into the up beat acoustic poppy indie rock music. My band mates listen to everything from Ben Lee meets James Hetdfeild at Rivers Cuomo's(of weezer)backyard. We'll go from funk bass lines and heavy guitars to annoyingly happy up beat acoustic songs lined up right after each other. But somehow it all fits into our own style. This band started out just me in my room with my guitars, a borrowed bass, keyboard and drum machine. Then Eric came to play drums. Eventually I asked my old bass player, and then singer from my old bands to join us, then at the last minute JP came.
So as I work the old folks home slowly paying off my debts to various music stores I hope this band gets some reconigntion. "OH THE JOYS OF MINIMUM WAGE".
