Barney The Theremin Wizard

Bio:

Ok it's about time I updated this thing, it's been a while. First this continues to be a solo act although occasionally I plan on bringing in other performers depending on the show. On Feb 12th this year I made my singing debeut at Karla LaVey's Satanic Valentines Show. I'm still too scared to hear the tape, but if it's not to hideous I'll try to post it as one of my songs. Also I left Sprak over a year ago. Nothing bad, but sometimes friends go different directions. This band is basicly me Barney playing a large variety of home built elcrtonic instrumensts. All instruments, amps, effects and various strange unnamed electronic devices are designed by and built by me. All so far are analog. I tend to like the sound better in most instances and they tend to add a certain randomness that keeps the shows from getting too repetative. I've been playing around San Francisco for about a few years and even played Maritime hall once. I also play in a punk band called Fluff Grrl (http://profiles.myspace.com/users/7514593) Check it out, it kicks ass and can be alot of fun. I've also sat in with various other musicians from bands such as Victims Family, Throbbing Gristle, Social Unrest, Jean Jacques Perrey, L7, Hawkwind, DJ RAZ, Farflung and numerous bands I just can't think of at the moment.
