What more is there to say ? I suck, and often times I'll produce a track that doesn't fit in with an album or project, so they wind up here for all to ridicule. I don't think they're necessarily bad, sometimes too cheesy or a tad unpolished, but if a tune is really bad I simply don't bother the world with it. Big Music pollutes the industry enough as it is.
Why this name?
I consumed a large quantity of unmarked and/or expired meds, looked deep within my soul and pulled out the two words that most accurately describe this so-called band.
Do you play live?
I only play dead.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, for one, it's helped a huge number of dirty, incompetent, immoral, half-bred lawyers make the payments on their goddamned Audis. Isn't that just great ?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I'm not a superstar. You can't stick my face on a cover and sell zit cream, though I could be effective for promoting a combined drug rehab / birth control product.
Band History:
I was born. I got a Casio VL-Tone when I was a little kiddie, and I still have it. Today I can play any instrument that has a "Demo" button.
Seriously though, I'm a computer programmer, and in my teens I wrote my own software to produce synthesized music. Now 15 years later I just use the commercial tools, partly because I'm lazy, and partly because 15 years of drugs and alcohol have severely crippled my ability to design software, but mostly the laziness. Kids: don't do drugs! You're ruining it for us has-beens!
