The Meager 19 - Horror Punk/Rock

Based on the fact that my guitarist and I have different ideas in the way we want to go, I might be starting my side project Herbert West and the Reanimators with more of a classic hard rock sound.

My first band was.. A really horrible classic rock cover band called Lithium.. Hard core huh?

Then I was in a half original half cover, kinda bluesy rock type stuff called Bigfoot Special.

Now I'm in this kinda indie/ post rock type thing called Ferris Wheel On Fire, it's really fun, and we got some cool original tunes. Check us out, Facebook.com/ferriswheelonfire

Shotgun Dick - covers/originals
The Steaming Logs - my favorite all-time band name ever - covers/originals
Flyrod - recently changed our name to this because it's hard to land gigs with a band called The Steaming Logs...sigh. I protest this name change vigorously.

That's about equal with the classic rock band I was in... Acid Rain. I was young, okay? Haha

I'm not in a band yet, as I have'nt played for long, but I have a couple of friends with whom I play a bit. We have thought of some to use, just for fun for now.

"The Hidden Excrements"
"Long dead may I play"
"By the Arctic Wolf"
