NEWS
Lil Pedro And The Seedpickers have retired, the archives shall remain available for a short time here on the Flog The Frog site....thanks for all the support!
1st attempt at going cyber with my music.In search of the missing groove thang
Why this name?
lucky I guess
Do you play live?
Yes,play in a all covers band doing classic rock from the 60's and 70's...trying to play the more obscure stuff from the great bands of yesterday.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Allows you to reach more people with your music ,and you are able to hear a wide variety of musical styles that have not been subjected to the mind numbing process of comerical radio.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Signs point to yes.
Band History:
I have been playing guitar for about 24 years..
Flog The Frog! is my live band I play with featuring Me on guitar and backing vocals, Tim on Drums and backing vocals, and Rob on Bass and lead vocals.We play classic rock cover tunes,trying for the stuff you haven't heard a million times.
Pendol is my colab's with Mick D, who writes all the lyrics for Pendol's music.
Hope that clears evreything up!
