Smug Bastard
Personal Project. Acoustic rock, bite-sized songs, all under 5 minutes.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I'm a singer, songwriter that has been mostly in metal bands over the years. I started recording acoustic versions of my older songs, because I plain don't know how to mix the 'wall of sound' that I hear in my brain when I write these things!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played live in bands, in the past. I love playing out. My special moment was playing for the drummer from the Dead Kennedies.
