MusicMy first real infatuation with music was at 7, when I claimed I was "sick" for two days so I could stay home and listen to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. I've been into music ever since, listening to KRUX in Tucson, KRIZ and KUPD when I lived in Phoenix, DC101 in DC, and Rock 99, X-96, KCGL, KRCL, and KBER in Salt Lake City, 107.5 The End in Seattle, and KROQ in Los Angeles. I've now moved back to Phoenix and I listen to 103.9 The Edge and KUPD, when I'm not listening to XM Satellite Radio stations, Boneyard, Squizz, Ethyl, Fred, or Lucy. I've also played in a number of bands over the years, the three main ones being: UHF; Drool; and Psonic Prophet. Bands that I have enjoyed through the years, listen to now, or were otherwise influential on the bands I've been in, even in the most tangential sense, include those listed below. I'm fully aware that many of the bands set forth below would be mortified to be on the list with some of the others listed there, but I readily admit that I'm eclectic to an extreme (code for: I like what I like and have liked what I have liked and I don't apologize). In any case, while I may not listen to all of these bands now, they played an important role in my life and I enjoyed them at one time, at least enough so to include them here: 10cc; 311; 3 Doors Down; 30 Seconds to Mars; A Perfect Circle; Abandoned Pools; Abba; ABC; AC/DC; Adam Ant; Adema; Aerosmith; AFI; Aha; Alan Parsons Project; Alanis Morrisette; Aldo Nova; Alice Cooper; Alice in Chains; Alien Ant Farm;

About me:
BE ADVISED: While I keep this site public, I like to keep it clean and use it as my "command" page for my other three band sites, which are listed below. If you are a band, and ask me to add you, I may very well do so, but I will only keep you as a friend on this page until I can request that you add my band's site (the one I think you most fit with). Assuming you approve that request, you can always link back from the list of friends. As you can tell from my music section, I have been in few local bands in my day and try to support all local bands as best I can. I invite and encourage you to click on the banners below to visit my bands' sites and those of bands I enjoy currently.

Ric from Drool here. Hope all is well. You should check out my brother's new band, Black Market. Like the boys from Alice in Chains crashed their van into Zak and the Black Label Society Sunday afternoon picnic. I’m not Blowin’ Smoke when I tell you: “I think you like.”

Ric-ee, thanks for the B-day wishes. I am alive, still. I am trying to fill the Myspace void that I have been experiencing with not much luck. Used to take care of it during the day and now it's blocked... EVIL WORK! Anyhow hope all is well with you and all of the beauty that surrounds you.
