Psychedelic Rock

The recordings are pretty much just me. I do all of the guitars, bass, synth, and "live" drums on a Roland Juno G.... There are some tracks that have been done with some real drums...provided by my good friend Steve (JesterSmile). He is credited on those tracks.
Band/artist history
Just a guy who's been making music since 1979.... Some of the bands I've been in: Labyrynth (1979-80) (Warminster, PA) Classic rock... 1st band...guys from school. We did several Beatles tunes... I was the drummer! Bushmen of the Kalahari (1982-83) (Warminster/Southampton, PA) New wave, punk & reggae. Guitar... High school chums...good times! Funkfoot (1982-83) (Warminster, PA) Progressive Jazz Our HS jazz band had a few guys who were serious musicians...the teacher was cool. He let us split off & do our thing! I played percussion....(think SANTANA!) Colorblind (1984-85) (South Weymouth, MA) A mix of Motown & classic rock. Cool band w/ a couple of NAVY guys... I played guitar & keys. Rude Boys (1987) (Charlotte, NC) Original funk, reggae, psychedelic rock. Fun stuff!! Marley's Ghost (1987-89) (Kane, PA) Original psych-rock, reggae + covers. Incredible drummer....good band. The Smile (1990-93) (Millville, NJ / Southampton, PA) Cool pop-rock duo.... Obvious nods to The Beatles & Beach Boys. Fun songs!! VON FACE (1989-present) (Millville, NJ) Soooooo many songs!
