Hey All:
My name is Mike, but I'm known on the web as Sonicfrog. I have been putzing around on the bass for 21'ish years. I started playing bass at the ripe old age of 21 (let's see, that would make me 42) and have enjoyed every minute of it. My ear twitches to good heavy pop'ish stuff such as early 80's Genesis, Split Enz, Crowded House, Police, Rush, and Bob Schneider. I've stolen lots of grooves and moves from guys like McCartney, Geddy, Mike Rutherford, and Nick Seymor. Throw in some Guy Pratt and Larry Klein and you have me, but not as good - I'm a hack!!! :-) I have recently (finally) started delving into some of the techniques employed by long time fave Mark King, though I'm a long long way from pulling any of that stuff off live. But I'm always a student and want to keep learning new things. I used to write lyrics and a few tunes, but have yet to record any of my stuff. Hopefully that will change soon - a New Years resolution.
Anyway, here is a couple of links to the things I've done.
The Sonicfrog MySpace featuring music from various past projects.
My Current band -
Acoustic Highway.
And my band from a few years ago -

Enjoy.
