5 sez:
They say I lived in the woods for twenty-five years and did nothing but play the guitar. I have named myself after a piece of imaginary obsolete analog recording equipment. If you want to believe that story, you can!
In Vermont I played mainly in the band called Bruce.
In Seattle I played the electric guitar with The Bond, Glass Goblins, Snoose Junction, Zoomsquad, Evan & The Modern Human Show and others, the idea being to play as much music as I could, all the time. I played bass in a few bands, too. That was a good seven years.
Now I am in Los Angeles. My girlfriend is here. I am glad to be with her. Mostly, here in L.A., I play the electric guitar, and I sing. (We call that a “solo project” ... ) I help out my friends (for example: Amanda Jo Williams, Matthew O'Neill) when they need an electric guitar player. And I play in a band called Cricket & The 2:19.
I have recorded and released a bunch of CD-Rs along the way. They range from abstract and noisy improv ("321 Party") to solo-acoustic country-blues ("It's A What?") and rock'n'roll ("Kira"). There will be more of these - I can't seem to help making albums! It isn't enough just to play. I LIKE albums, I grew up listening to albums (I mean, forty minutes to an hour of music in a particular order, all at once) and now I HAVE TO MAKE THEM. I have posted samples of each on my website, www.5-Track.com, on the CDs page.
Anything else?
Oh, yeah: Nothing is etched in stone, don't let the bastards grind you down, and if you lose your happy thoughts you'll fall out of the sky!

Please be informed that G. Wood/Undercover Bonobos have posted a new song entitled "Seeds" on their Myspace music player. We strongly advise that you review this material carefully. Your commentary is welcomed.
Analysis: We have been informed that this song sounds like a Communist Collective work song. We are further advised that it may be misconstrued as a treatise on the cultivation of illegal herbage. We are cautioned that some listeners may experience a shift in psychological set and setting during the "psychedelic" interlude. Please report any activity of this nature forthwith.
This song may be intended and interpreted as a tribute to the late, great, Sky Saxon.
