Of all the bands that I've been in, the one you've most likely heard of is the Minneapolis, MN based independent hip-hop group, "Atmopshere." I played live bass for them for a few years (2004 - 2007) and record bass tracks for them whenever they need my abilities.
I also play whatever is needed in the shapeshifting sorta rock group Attracted To Gods who will be out on tour with Atmosphere in Spring 2009 as a duo.
I play Bass, Guitar, Keys, and I know how to use my voice. I write music in many styles. Most recently I had a rock band called Kingfield that was a great time. As life has proven over and over, all good things must come to an end. So, now it's on to do the next thing.
I'm thinkin' about writing a rap record next. I'll probably make my rapper friends cringe, but I aint afraid of them. How's that for posturing?
I just heard this lyric as "I shot for the stars and they shot back at me...: I like that! Embrace yr tragedy, baby. It's the only way to keep sane. xox
