Portsmouth Herald Article Well I will use this space to tell you all the juicy secrets about me you want to know......yah right! Well...This whole self-reflection thing is always kind of kookie. I am however pretty good at it, so here it goes. I am Fletch. I was born 11-23-74 in Long Beach Ca. My father was "Man Mountain Mike", a 600 pd. overall wearing' hillbilly who wrestled for the WWWF (Vince's Dad), and my mom was the best damn housewife west of the Mississippi. When I was still a lad we moved over to southern New Hampshire and it is here I have spent my formidable years. My parents became devout born again Christians (as did I) when I was 7. To say I grew up in a church is an understatement. The apartment we lived in was attached to the church. I believe what I believe, and one of the things they believed is that rock-n-roll was a tool of the devil. My parents used to snap all the rock-n-roll albums I would sneak out and buy in half. My father passed away of complications of diabetes when I was in 7th grade. This was a life changing experience. My mom, to give me something to occupy my time, bought me a drum set.... a Remo Malibu.... you can see where this is going. I attended Christian school from 3-8th grade, when I was promptly thrown out for throwing a desk at a teacher. I was in hot defense of the Beatles. He was trying to tell me they were satanic. High on drugs.... yes.... messengers of Satan...no. With my newfound public school chums I promptly formed my first rock band. We were all original (we could ONLY play our own stuff) and we were called "Black Reign". Over the years I have been in so many bands I cant begin to name them all. Fresh out of high school and fuckin like a rabbit, I had another life-changing incident. My girl at the time gave birth to my son Kyle. I had to rethink my whole musical existence. Unfortunately the relationship shit the bed. I see my boy often, but he lives with his mom. This gave me more than enough time to persue my music. I have been with the same girl now for almost 11 years. I have toured from east to west coast, in the USA and Canada. I have filled the roles of lead singer/drummer/keyboards/guitar/bass.... and those are the ones I have actively played in working bands. I'm a multi-instrumentalist who always relies on creativity as opposed to talent. I sing and play in 3 differant bands. I am the pipes for Window Pain, a pychadellic hard rock band in the vein of Perfect Circle/Pink Floyd....Hell to Pay, a cover band that prides itself on playing some ballsy classic rock that NO ONE does (we are on my space...go find us!) and I have a 3rd more sneeky project that I will unveil on here sooner than not. Till then....rock the fuck out! retro layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotCommentsWindow Pain
