Greg Bates
I'm Greg, and i'm a 19 year old college student who writes high-larious songs in his (woefully small) free time. If songs about eating babies or D&D nerds tickle your fancy, than prepare to meet a fancy tickler! ...wait, that came out wrong!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
2002 - Greg decides to learn to play guitar.
2003 - Greg gets a crappy Wal-mart guitar and teaches himself to play.
Summer 2003 - 'I Have A Fetus' and several other songs are written.
Fall 2003 - World War III.
2003-2005 - a now irradiated zombie Greg plays music for random friends.
2005 - Greg plays at the Kingdom.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, I play in the Kingdom all the time. I guess the most special moment was playing "I Have A Fetus" for the first time and seeing everyone's eyes light up. It was very uplifting.
Your musical influences
Stephen Lynch, "Weird Al" Yankovic
What equipment do you use?
A Fernandes elec/acoustic and an awful little PC mic.
