Hi,

I play in the band Sybil; our version of the Scorpions "Wind of Change" will be appearing in the indie-hit "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" this summer in the U.S., currently playing in theaters world-wide.Band/artist history

Sybil: Austin, 2005-Have you performed in front of an audience?My favorite live moment was at the Bottom of the Hill, in San Francisco. Nerfherder was playing and I was right next to the stage. Parry had broken a string and shouted, "Anyone know how to fix this?" I raised my hand and he passed me his guitar and a pack of strings. I changed his A string and at the end of the song reached out to give him back his guitar. He said, "Get up here and tune it". So I got on stage, plugged into his tuner and tuned it up while they were playing their next song. It was just a two-chorder so I figured it out, turned off the bypass switch and joined the rest of the band. At the end of the song he introduced me to the sold out crowd as "my guitar tech" and I got a nice ovation.
