No band name yet, though the Eternal Tribute to Ken Andrews Feedback Sonata for 10 Amplifiers sounds like a winner.

I have played live from New Hampshire to New York, in clubs and dives, at schools and backyards. I've always been critical of the live sound of the bands I've been involved with, but performing in that context is heaven on Earth to me. I love it.

MP3s and the 'net will make music more accessible - just look at the revenues Apple and other MP3 player manufacturers are reporting. I don't think people will ultimately appreciate high quality audio due to the encoding of MP3 files, rather, they'll be more concerned with how many files they can get in one download session.

I would absolutely sign with a traditional, major label if I could. Self-promotion is ultimately why bands and artists post files here, but imagine what you could do with some major league backing from a label or A&R group.

Failure, Hum, King's X, Living Colour, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nirvana, Tool, Year of the Rabbit, Yo La Tengo, Sonic Youth

Where I live in New Hampshire - we're an hour from Boston, an hour from Portland, Maine, and two hours from most major northeast ski resorts. I can't imagine, at this point in my life, living anywhere else.
