Just stuff that i've done,stuff that i always wanted to do,and mostly just stuff that i almost did.I hope it makes somebody feel something to hear it.I hope it engraves itself on the pulse of just one single person out there.Somewhere.
Why this name?
Parasites.Ikons.Bug spray.Boredom.
Do you play live?
Nothing to tell.Sadly,it all goes down right here in my own solitary place on my own solitary time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It cast the recording industry in the role of Ned Beatty and all the pirates and music lovers in the role of Bill Mckinney.Can't say that they deserve any less either.They've consistently cut themselves a larger slice of the pie than the artists that perform the music.Also,they have saturated radio with absolute crap.Selling an "American Idol" as a rocker is like putting pinstripes on an ostrich and calling it a zebra.They don't need to overhaul the playing field.They just need to burn it all.Away.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Haven't really thought about it.I don't imagine they'll be kicking in my door to get their hands on this stuff.
Band History:
I love music.Have always loved music.Have wanted to do it or yearned to be able to play it since early childhood even when i was bouncing quarters off a piano and listening to the way they sounded as they plunked and rolled across the floor.Ever since taking a shitty boombox and recording the sound of running water or the sound of the central air unit kicking on and off.I love the idea of atmosphere.Landscape.The electric.All the things that you hear on my page are my failures that still somehow manage to keep willing me right along.
