I figured if i was to finally get a myspace page, that i might as well put some original music on it. The first two songs (Fire and Frondescence) are two of my favorite songs from a cd I recorded with pianist/singer/songwriter Nicole Berke in 2007.
Rise and Doctor Junior were recorded at my friend Darby's house in the fall of 2004. Considering they were recorded with one mic in his living room, I think they sound real good. These tunes already have some serious nostalgia to them. The jam (Doctor Junior) in particular was probably the best straight-up improv we had ever done at the time.
About me: i play acoustic and electric bass and will play any type of music as long as there's some soul in it.

Checking in to say hi and to let you know that we have a big Boston show (full band!) on Saturday July 12th! If you're around, you should come out. More info in our profile.
if you're around next Tuesday (the 26th!) you should come out The Paradise Rock Club for the College Clash finals. We're one of 4 finalists that could win $5000 if we have a big enough crowd.
We're giving out copies of our new EP (you can hear new songs on the page) and there are prizes for the audience AND a guitar hero competition.
If you have some time sitting around the computer today or tomorrow, we could use your help. We're competing in OurStage.com's College Clash, which is a big deal to us. We put all of the voting information: Here
