About me:

As you may have heard my former band High Voltage has imploded since my departure (ain’t that a shame). Tom “Tug” McG. (vocals) and Robert Lat. (bass) has jumped ship. Robert is more than welcome to join up with our new project but has expressed to us that he wants to take a much deserved break from music in general to spend time with his family. We wish him the best. Tom and I are looking to form a new tribute musical project for fun and profit. We will be covering great classic rock songs from the 60’s through the 80’s--plus we will be doing some originals as well. We are looking for talented musicians that have a positive and professional attitude. Performance experience (and backing vocal ability) a plus. We are looking for professional, reliable, trustworthy, and solid musicians to jam with. You must have performance level gear and reliable transportation. Please no attitudes, egos and out of control drinking/drug habits. We don’t care what you do on your own time AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT EFFECT THE BAND! We are located in Tehama County (Los Molinos-Just 30 min. North of Chico, CA) and commuting may be a possibility. If you are interested please email byronbiz02@yahoo.com or through the MySpace email system. ____________________________________________________________ Hay friends, I just upped the security on my friends request and comments because of spammers. You just gotta sove those Captchas and your in. Sorry about this but it just takes a couple of rotten apples to ruin the whole fruit salad!

Who I'd like to meet:

(Dave Lombardo I hope) Drummers and like minded musicians who would like to exchange ideas and talk shop. Along with metal bands and fans of music who just want to dicuss music and life in music. I would also like to meet Metal Sanaz and talk metal with her. But I will have to make due with the next best thing: Check out A Place For Metal...

And I have met:
