Right now, no band. Just me in my room having fun with my guitars and computer. So far all collaborations have been over the internet.
Please stop by the message board and say hello.
...and join mailing list and you'll be notified when a new tune is posted. Since my last upload, I've written over a dozen new tunes and fixed up several of the ones on my page. I'm saving them for a CD compilation, but I'll put up some samples when I'm ready :)

Why this name?
"Chinaman" is just a nick name from when I was a kid. If you feel bad saying it, call me Mike.
Do you play live?
Not really.. does sitting on a bench in the middle of a park count? I just play for personal enjoyment and who ever is within earshot...which are usually just people passing by my at the park, friends, or whoever can hear it outside when my bedroom window is open.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
...jeez, I could write a book on that subject.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'm not sure. maybe... I'll get back to you on this if I'm ever asked.
Band History:
Hmmmmmm... I started playing bass in Grade 10. Switched to guitar the mid-semester, and... well, that's it.
Your influences?
I listen to mostly rock and blues, but there are some things that I like in almost all kinds of music.
...yes, even POLKA.
But I don't have any polka here....yet. Maybe one day I'll blend Polka and Punk Rock and see what happens.
