This is the haven for all of my solo bass work. I am a big hard rock and metal junkie, but I do some experimenting with lighter stuff as well. I will try to add more in terms of rock and metal as I go along.
As of June 07, I haven't written any real new material except one song. I hope to have a chance to put some songs I've written up here in the near future, I just need time.

Why this name?
It's my nickname, so there you go
Do you play live?
Since January 06, my band, Further From Failure has played out many a weekends. We've quickly been called "one of the best bands in the area", and have headlined quite a few times.
Best moment had to be headlining the historic NorVa theater here in Norfolk, where we had over 700+ people show up for our show, the most of any local band as of this writing.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Musicians don't want to get ripped off, fans want to sample music and such...I don't mind MP3 downloading, because it helps expose you to a new group or genre...but I don't support downloading full albums for free
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
DUH!!!!!! Music is my life, and if this band doesn't 'make it', I'll be sorely disappointed
Band History:
I've been playing music for many years. Started with cello 9 years ago, and then I picked up bass guitar.
Your influences?
Hard to say. Lots of heavy stuff, lots of light stuff.
Tool, Dream Theater, Unearth, All That Remains, lots of great stuff. I can't really specify too much unfortunately.
