    Howdy folks, thanks for dropping by! God knows what I really sound like, but it is important to know how I got here...and I'd like to thank all bandmates past and future for helping to show me the way, wherever it is I'm going. Here is a short list of bands I've been lucky enough to play in. I'll leave out say, the disco bands even though that was the only time in my life I ever made a living playing music. THE HAPPY EGGS - featured power popster producer and player Jamie Hoover. Along with Murphy Moore we put out a very rare and sought after 7" 45 EP of crazed new wave/punk. This was sometime in the early 80's in Charlotte N.C. FADE TO BLACK - teamed up with these gothic rockers after I moved to San Francisco in about 1984. We put out a 12" 45 EP (uh...that would be bigger than a 7" one..) on CD Presents. Played some fine shows with The Damned, Specimen and the like. GAME THEORY - joined up with Scott Miller in 1985 and recorded 3 albums, all produced by Mitch Easter, including the critically acclaimed Lolita Nation. GAME THEORY did 2 commercial videos - Erica's Word and The Real Sheila. Went on many national tours and none of us ever killed each other. Matter of fact, I met my future wife at a GT/True Believers show in Nashville Tenn. THE LOUD FAMILY - hooked up with Scott again in 1998 and recorded 2 albums - Days For Days and Attractive Nuisance. We did 2 tours and and called it a day in 2000. So here I am. I hope you like my music! Gil
