I am/have been in bands you may or may not have heard of, such as the Mystery Girls, Ivan & The Terribles, Hue Blanc's Joyless Ones, Tim Schweiger & The Middlemen, the Tom Schrader 5, the Traveling Friendship Band and I played drums for Pink Reason on two tours. I've also played with Stephen Chioda's Box Cutter a few times. I've done some recording for other bands (sometimes with Jordan Davis [MGs, Sunday Sinners]), like the Tears, the Catholic Boys, the Jukeboyds, the Knockers, the Art Table plus Hue Blanc and Ivan & The Terribles (I think that's all of 'em). I've started up recording solo again so maybe some evidence of it shall be forthcoming.

I heard that the Mono Box is going to be over 200, the stereo one was 179 I think on amazon. I'm trying to download them through a few different people because I don't have internet at my place, even though I too will eventually just end up buying the box.
