   About Ryan Banks

IT ALL STARTED WITH GOOD FRIENDS, THEN VODKA, THEN WOMEN. NOW ITS LIKE THE SPOT LIGHT IS ON ME AND I DON'T KNOW WHY? MY COLLECTION OF SONGS IS LIKE AN OFFERING I HAVE TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SHAPED MY LIFE. I USUALLY HAVE NO TROUBLE COMING UP WITH WHAT TO SAY WHEN IM AROUND ALL OF YOU BUT A LOT OF TIMES THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE JUST PUT BETTER IN SONG.

I'VE BEEN WRITING MUSIC FOR CLOSE TO TEN YEARS NOW AND HAVE BEEN RECORDING JUST AS LONG. MY OLD FRIENDS WILL REMEMBER A GROUP CALLED NEKTAR, PROBABLY THE FIRST SONG I WROTE AND RECORDED WAS WITH THEM. THE GROUP WAS JUST ME AND A CLOSE FRIEND CHRISTOPHER ROBERTSON, WELL US TWO AND A 24 KEY CASIO KEYBOARD. I DON'T EVEN REMEBER THE NAMES OF THE SONG NOW BUT THIS KIND OF TURNED INTO THE 12 DRUNK MONKS.

STARTING IN THE YEAR 2000 ME, KASEY JAY, AND TURTLE STARTED RAPPING OVER BEATS KASEY MADE ON FRUITY LOOPS (VERY FRUITY BEATS) AND THIS FORMED THE DRUNK MONKS. I DEVELOPED MY FIRST ON STAGE PERSONALITY, BLITZ-X WHO WAS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY AND THE LIFE OF MOST OF THE DRUNK MONK SONGS. I STILL REMEBER THE SHOWS WE PLAYED LIKE YESTERDAY, THOSE WERE SOME FUCKING PARTIES! WE HAD SOME SONGS YOU MAY REMEMBER (APRIL 20TH, DOPEST CREW, X-FILEZ, LIFES A BITCH, etc.). AFTER 3 YEARS WITH THESE JOKERS MY WORK ETHIC JUST STARTED TO RISE ABOVE THE OTHERS. I WROTE SOME SONGS JUST AS BLITZ-X BUT IT JUST KIND OF SPARKLED AND FADED. THERE ARE SOME OLD RECORDINGS OF THIS STUFF STILL FLOATING AROUND BUT THEY ARE PROBABLY ON CASSETTE TAPE. THATS RIGHT, I RAPPED IN THE OLD DAYS ON TO TAPES!

THEN THE GUITAR BECOME MY LOVE, I REALLY DON'T PLAY ALL THAT WELL, BUT I LOVE PUTTING MY LYRICS TO SIMPLE CHORDS TO GET A RISE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE. I STARTED A BAND SOMETIME AT THE END OF THE 12 DRUNK MONKS CALLED CIVIL WAR RUST RIGHT OUT OF MY GARAGE IN OAKLEY AND WE BECAME THE DRUNKEST WORKING PUNKS IN TOWN. I STILL PLAY WITH THESE GUYS YOU CAN CHECK US OUT HERE ON MYSPACE AND GET ALL THE DETAILS PLUS DOWNLOAD ALL OF THOSE LITTLE ANTHEMS THAT HAVE BECAME A SOUNDTRACK TO OUR SUBURBAN LIFESTYLE.

OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEGAN TO WRITE A LOT OF SONGS ON THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND THATS WHY I MADE THIS SITE HERE ON OUTERSPACE.COM. I DIDINT CHOOSE TO START WRITING THESE SONGS THEY KIND OF CHOSE ME AS THE PARTIES GOT HEAVIER AND WE GOT A LITTLE OLDER, I NEEDED A NEW OUTLET TO EXPLAIN WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME. THE SONGS ARE PERSONAL, BUT THEY ARE NOT JUST FOR ME, I HOPE THEY ARE PERSONAL FOR YOU. THEY ARE ABOUT THE MEMORIES WE HAVE SHARED GROWING UP IN EAST COUNTY WHERE NO ONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING BUT PARTY AND FUCKING COMPLAIN.

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE ONE OF YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS
