About me:
CHEEZY LONG-WINDED NAME-DROPPING MUSIC BIO!!!! I play electric bass with an emphasis on preposterous antiquated synth basses and ridiculous effects pedals and other gadgetry. Grew up in Nebraska, been playing since jr. high. Took lessons from local legend Andy Hall. Haven't studied music formally since high school, but have had one-on-one educational run-ins over the years with people like composers Pauline Oliveros and LaMonte Young, bass master Richard Davis, and guitarists Marc Ribot and David Tronzo. Played in a bunch of bands in Nebraska (Pablo's Triangle, Roosevelt Franklin, Plastik Trumpet, Puggy), recorded with pre-'buzz' Saddlecreek bands Lullabye For The Working Class and We'd Rather Be Flying, and for many years served as musical director/sound designer for the esteemed avant-garde group The Omaha Magic Theatre (led by Joanne Schmidman and Obie-award winner Megan Terry). This was a good experience, and took me to South Korea and around the U.S. performing and workshopping. Moved to Chicago in 1999 and played with many people, including the legendary Flying Luttenbachers, (d)orch-pop wunderkind Head Of Femur, absurd My Name Is Rar-Rar, ex-Mercury Rev voice David Baker, glamorous Bobby Conn and The Glass Gypsies, un-glamorous Lovely Little Girls, the way-too-glamorous Strawberry, the suave and handsome Harvey Sid Fisher, prog lifers Cheer-Accident, avant composer Olivia Block, noisy-noise Panicsville, and on and on... criss-crossed the country many times touring during this period, often the bands supporting artists as varied as The Locust, Rilo Kiley, Lightning Bolt, Trans Am, M. Ward, and Moving Units, amongst many others. At some point during all this, started a productive and inspiring association with drummer Zach Hill that has resulted in my involvement in many projects with him, including Holy Smokes (with Rob Crow of Pinback), Tough Guy Fantasy, Arctic Boys, Damsel (with the incredible Nels Cline and the remarkable Matt Zivich), Friend/Enemy (featuring members of Make Believe and Joan Of Arc), Zach's forthcoming Ipecac solo record, Marnie Stern's second album, and a mysterious Omar Rodriguez-Lopez/Cedric Bixler-Zavala/Juan Alderete project. 2005 was a big year for me: throughout the year, I was a member of the expanded 4-piece touring lineup of Hella and enjoyed many new experiences, such as European and Japanese tours, playing the Mars Volta-curated All Tomorrows Parties, and tours supporting System Of A Down, Mars Volta (the arena experience can be seen on the Hella dvd documentary "Portals", by filmmaker R.T. Thomas), Dillinger Escape Plan, Les Claypool, Outhud and Fantomas. In the midst of this, I also recorded with The Ssion and played a Chicago show as a fill-in member of both Yoshida Tatsuya's legendary duo Ruins, and opening act Yowie. One of the most exciting evenings of my life! Also played improvisation shows with people such as Mike Pride, Andrew D'Angelo, Brian Chase, Cex, members of Need New Body and members of The Sun Ra Arkestra. In 2006, I relocated to northern California, and have since played on records by Big Sir (with Juan Alderete and Lisa Papineau) and Look Daggers (with 2Mex. Busdriver and Ikey Owens). Also have performed/recorded with Kings And Queens, RaRaRabbit, Mariee Sioux (with Gentle Thunder), Casual Fog, Aaron Ross, Lee Bob Watson, Madame and the Moustache, Neal Morgan, Cobra's Choice, Renee Wilson, The Stilts, Vato Negro, and Ikey Owen's free improv collective The Just In Case Mantra Orchestra . JUST MOVED TO L.A.!!! Busy writing, waiting for that call from Mike Watt for a wrestling record session, and looking forward to what's next!!!
Who I'd like to meet:
Lovers, loving people, those who love, love-meisters, sowers of love, crop-dusting love planes, lovey-doveys, perpetual fountains of magnificent love, people to have lunch with.

I just made this Free dj mix for friends and enemies.
This was made with software, no mixer or phones. I have also only bought 2 records all year. Think timeless, not trendy. I know I use the looper too much but, that my shit. I love to ham it up. Hope you're well. Let me know when you play in the Chi.

If this vertigo thing turns out to be indefinite, we can move to the highest more precipitous mountaintop.
According to that motion sickness study, you'll be just fine up there!

i was there and witnessed the ice cream incident. however, the actual honors went to buzz and rife. i, on the other hand, knew how to steal pop from the machine near the gym.

by the way, word of warning, don't eat the vanilla.

The "vanilla iced cream incident" was all Shawn Rife - with some assistance from Buzz Graham. ("Vote for Buzz, he says and does.")

If we could find Shawn Rife on Myspace, the circle would be complete.

I ran across a plastik trumpet 7" the other day. It made me smile and reminded me of the party at your house when the walls were covered in foil. I'm so glad you're in LA now... call a bitch, we need to kick off your move properly.

Who sniffed Mrs. Buckley?
Jeremy Nebesniak?

Think how great it would have been if The Devastator would have been in Lame Dirt's class. We might have been able to bring down Gulliver - or should I say Lurch. DOCTOR Lurch now.
Sweet Basil McJagger

teacher: John Green?

student: You can just call me "The Devastator."

Brilliant.

May 1 2008 5:09 PM

Oh, and that was me who rolled down that hillside. Trenwood Park. 1990. Not a drop. And not 50 feet from where I went to Parks and Rec as a kid.
jack





May 1 2008 4:56 PM

I don't recall sniffing, per se, but I do recall telling her I was "good at sex." In retrospect, I believe that to be a perfectly reasonable thing for a 7th grader to say on the first day of school.
