ANDY REISERT

LEAD VOCALIST-SONG WRITER-BASSISTNEXT TO MY WIFE AND OUR SON,, MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INNER PART OF ME.SINCE I WAS AROUND THE AGE OF 10 OR SO I HAD FOUND THAT HARD ROCK, AND HEAVY METAL WERE MY TRUE PASSIONS!!! MY MOTHER HAD ME TRY PIANO AND ALTO SAX,BUT I REALLY DIDNT LIKE TO PLAY EITHER.THEN MY MOTHER GOT ME A GUITAR AND THAT WAS THE START OF IT ALL (THANKS MOM!,, MISS YOU) BY THE LATE 70s I HAD FORMED A DECENT BAND IN JR. HIGH SCHOOL,AND BY THE EARLY 80s I WAS IN A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL BAND CALLED "100 PROOF",, THAT LASTED A LITTLE OVER 4 YEARS. IN THE 80s TO MID 80s I WAS IN SOME REALLY GREAT COVER BANDS,INCLUDING "WRATHCHILD",ONE OF THE EARIEST "IRON MAIDEN TRIBUTES TO EXIST!!! ,WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE STAGE AND LIGHT SHOW. IN THE EARLY 90s I BEGAN WRITING AND ARRANGING SONGS WITH A GUITAR PLAYER NAMED "GREGG WOODS". I WENT ON TO START A RECORDING PROJECT CALLED "ANDY REISERT AND NATURAL DISASTER".WE RECORDED OUR FIRST CD on 1994-95, AND THE I HAD IT REMASTERED IN EARLY 1998.THE CD GOT SOME GREAT REVEIWS AND QUIT ALOT OF AIRPLAY IN NORWAY AND AUSTRALIA. THEN IN 1999/2000 WE RECORDED "ANDY REISERT and NATURAL DISASTERs" 2nd CD "TIME OF AGGRESSION",WHICH RECIEVED MANY MANY GREAT REVEIWS,(that can still be found on the internet Today),AND UPON ITS RELEASE IT WAS PLAYLISTED ON GREAT METAL RADIO SHOWS IN 29 COUNTRIES IN 2 WEEKS TIME!!! IN 2007 I AUDITIONED FOR A LEAD VOCALIST FOR AN INCREDIBLE JAPANESE GUITAR PLAYER NAMED "KOUICHI OGAWA" , FROM OSAKA,JAPAN. "KOUICHI" CHOSE ME TO WRITE AND SING 4 SONGS ON HIS FORTH COMING CD,WHICH ALSO FEATURES GUITAR GREATS "KHALED AL-KANDARI" AND "ROGER BLECK" ON A SONG CALLED "FARAWAY" 2 OF THE SONGS I RECORDED FOR "KOUICHI" WERE ORIGINALLY IN JAPANESE,,SO WITH THE HELP OF FREIND/SONG WRITER "BILL LENT", WE REWROTE THE SONGS IN ENGISH,STAYING AS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL MELODY AS POSSIBLE. ITS BEEN A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE,AND YOU CAN ORDER THE CD "LONEBRAVE" ON KOUICHI OGAWA'S MYSPACE PAGE,AND YOU CAN BUY IT IN (DISC HEAVEN) IN OSAKA,JAPAN!!!ANDY
