About Me

I just escaped LA. I had fun but it was time to GO! I miss my friends down there, but its great being back in the rainy, dank, green, aliveness of the Pacific Northwest. Its been fun re-uniting with old friends, family and musical compadres. I'm currently playing in the band JUNKFACE, and doing a few one-off shows with friends. I'm putting a band together and working on demos of new material. A few of those are what you hear right here. Forgive the rough vocals! New versions coming soon. I'm looking for a bad ass drummer right now, or anyone else who would like to be involved. My dad and I are in the process of opening a music venue/recording studio called "The Way Out" in the St. Johns neighborhood in North Portland. Its gonna be the shit! Do you still believe in rock?

Notes on the Songs
