ok over the years has been ,

Armour- bad highschool trio that lasted maybe 6 months
Arrowhead- semi locally successful cover band and current recordholder as longest run , 11 years
raw Sewage- punk recording duo, we would get drunk , write songs and melodies on the spot , put one tape out , Endangered Feces, every copy stolen at house parties , heard one a few years ago someone stole , really bad but we had a band of dedicated followers i guess
Skylark 7, dont know where we got that name , lasted three jams until the crappy drummer brought his tone deaf wife in to sing
Whozat- Metal cover band , about three year run , we fired a decent lead player with the most glorious mullet and purple ibanez jem because of his yoko like wife , drugs got the better of that band
Twisted Metal Daze- three years strong and still going , we fired our original lead player for not wanting to collaborate on writing and only wanting to do metallica covers , rhythm player took over lead duties and sing singing , he, the drummer and I are the OG three , we brought on board another 2 good guitar players as well. name hails from a misheard line in Metallicas Master of puppets, the actual line is Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days, drummer and I were loaded off our asses and heard Twisted metal daze and used the name , it kinda stuck , but we mostly go by the moniker TM.Daze now

Bad boys of Bedlam- Bedlam was right , was a side project from TMdaze, singer was great, great singer , lots of energy , talented at flowing words to a riff in semblance of making sense. Drummer was flakey but dealable. Guitard was tough to deal with and moody. Wish the singer and guitard were not so tight , I would poach him for TMdaze in a minute, but guitarist is a clingon that follows him around, don't need the drama

Vicariously Through Bruce- Side project with one of TMdaze guitar players and his 3 foot tall little person drummer , fun project , allows me to branch outside the box from the other band , both other guys are Chinese and the vicariously through Bruce name is an Homage to bruce lee, I loved him too back in the day. they had another bass player that was in no uncertain terms BAD ( and I do not use that term in an egotistical manner, I am mediocre at best myself) and they were bugging me to play with them , i resisted and told them I would work with their bass player to get him up to speed and if that didnt work out , i would play with them . Well three times i set up for him to come by with the band and play in TMdaze studio, the other two showed up , but he blew them off and continued playing out of tune, off key , with no sense of rhythm and wrong notes. the guys bounced him , and me being true to my word, joined them as well . Fun little project that a good outlet

Currently in two bands.

Big Dog Trouble-Acoustic based, no drummer, a lot of hand percussion. We do everything from Neil Young and the Beatles, to Reggae and 30's and 40's torch songs. About 50% originals.

The Microdots-totally self indulgent mix of every 70's classic rock song you've ever wanted to play since High School. This band does not play out. It's strictly for fun. We're the house (literally)band for every party at the guitar players house.

Have been in....
The Dead Guise-A Grateful Dead Tribute band
Enlightened Rogues and Eat A Peach-Two Allman Brothers tribute bands.
Random Access and X-Dream-Two 80's wave bands
Street Level-Classic and Southern Rock
Shady Ed and The Nite Krawlers-Blues
