Hey,
My name is Ron and this is my music; this is my passion and this is what I do.
I named the project Shastasheen to give it the feel of being a band. However, it's not a real band, it's more just me for now. Not to say that I'm not looking for a band to go around me, it's just that I needed some way to get out my music for the time being.
Anyway, enjoy the music and rock on.
Sincerely,
Ron
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Once upon a time, Ron was writing songs when he came across the idea to release the songs online for the world to hear.
Ecstatic to find SoundClick, Ron registered and signed up to have a site, but he needed a name. It just so happened that he was listening to the Pixies, and so it began. Shastasheen.
In the month of April, four songs were written, one of which was good enough to make it to recording, "Let's Get Married". Finally, on May 6, 2005, a good enough version of "Let's Get Married" was recorded and released to SoundClick. From the get-go, "Let's Get Married" created quite a buzz and has been sitting in the top fifty for eight weeks and counting... not bad for the first song released.
As for the future, look for more Shastasheen.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No live stuff as of yet, although I am playing for my friend when he proposes to his girlfriend (I'm so honored that he picked me instead of just putting on a CD).
Your musical influences
Weezer, Ozma, The Fleetwoods, The Beach Boys, The Beatles... anything with good harmony, good guitar, and good emotion.
What equipment do you use?
For my electric, I have a starter Ibanez. For my acoustic guitar, I have a cheap Montana acoustic. I also have a DigiTech RP80 guitar effect modeler which I intend to use more on future demos.
