I am a busy guy (ie professional who works full-time, part-time graduate student, wife and large family, homeowner and the list goes on), however I have been really wanting to find a partner in "crime", so to speak. The McCartney to my Lennon, the Liber to my Stoller, the Henry to my Mancini, someone to help me focus and create a synergy dig? I grew up playing in bands with all of my friends and it was all very fun, but we never really took it too serious, it was all fun and games. Well that's been ten years ago since I left that scene. I've been fu*king around since then trying to make music on my own I can be proud of enough to play live and promote. Well seeing as how I don't really have any technical musical training and being a perfectionist, it's been pretty goddamn hard. I'm not much of a writer more of a noise maker, I guess. I don't take myself too serious. I can write a pretty little ditty but not much on writing lyrics. I'm not looking for pion john who thinks he's top jimmy. I need a partner(s) that I can collaborate with and have fun with. You know, get together on Saturdays have a few drinks, smoke a bit, talk sh*t about music and see if we can come up with music we can be proud to say we made. I respect all music and all people. I am a professional who likes to cut loose when I can. What do you say? Can you pick up what I'm putting down? If I had to descibe my style, it's somewhere between Modest Mouse meets Melvins meets Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan who all run into the Butthole Surfers while they're out all having a few drinks. I guess all that is to say something like Daniel Johnston and/or Jad Fair......Can U Dig it?

Influences:

Jimi Hendrix, Steve Windwood, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Les Claypool, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Butthole Surfers, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Paul McCartney, Miles Davis, Hank Williams Sr., Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Gram Parsons, George Harrison, Eddie Van Halen, James Hetfield, Kurt Cobain, Kirk Hammett, Roky Erikson, Peter Green, and the list can go on forever.....basically anybody whose ever made music!!

Equipment List:

Several guitars both electric and acoustic, sitar guitar, bass, keyboards (cheapos), and several effect pedals and various noise making equipment. Four track, 4 channel mixer, condensor mic, and some other complementary things. I've got this MetaVox thing I love to make noise with, synthesizes anything; very moug-like.
