Dylan Smith
Hi. This is my old bands music.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
...mindshaft was my main band before I started i nation. Shortly after recording the album 031079 in early 2000. I folded this project (for various reasons) and moved to Melbourne and started what would become i nation. mindshaft shared the stage with many bands including Skinlab (U.S) Alchemist, Cryogenic, Snog (David Thrussell) and played the main stage @ 4ZzZ market day 1999. The band (in all it's various incarnations) also made three appearances on Briz31 (community access TV station). This myspace is purely for those who are curious and to give respect to a project that, while sonically had it's limitations (hey, I recorded the whole thing on an 8 track when I was like 19 or 20!) was, I feel, very ambitious musically (well of course I'm going to say that - it's my baby after all...) Dylan.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not with this band anymore - I perform with i nation, solo + in MiA.
