About Me
Hi, I'm Alex B.Smith Drummer/keyboardist/percussionist...
Someone once remarked about a band I was in,"this is what happens when you drink a mushroom milkshake."I'm currently playing with the Backroad...a somewhat jamband + experimental folk and also covers of Bob Dylan/Beatles/Elvis/anything We play in Lancaster, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Baltimore, MD, Philly, New York, Jer-z, and Delaware. sometimes Ohio!I have played or recorded with:
Kyle Morgan & the Backroad (jazzy experimental folk jams)

Kyle Morgan/the Backroad
Book Club (indie/pop)

Contact me here or 717.578.3184 to inquire about making music together!Sometimes I wear a crazy helmet or hat! My life signifigantly improves everytime I read a Chuck Klosterman book. One time I made a shirt with Mao on it and now i wear it often. I'm currently the drummer for the acts THE TAMBOUREENS and Kyle Morgan/the Backroad. I play drums and organ a lot. I like bands such as Balkan Beat Box, Steely Dan, the Beatles, the Zombies, the Kinks,moe, the Pizzas, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Phish, and Son Volt. I also hosted Wednesdays 1-4pm on 99.7 WVYC last year.
I love to sleep, and that's literally my favorite thing. I go to bed thinking about when the next time I can go to bed is. I go to York College in PA. You may catch me playing drums with The Tamboureens at various venues in PA, hanging out in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Manhattan/Brooklyn/Bronxville, or Gettysburg. I guess this brings me to my famous "rules of life". There are three. If you don't 'get' the rules at first, apply them to themselves and it will be clear:
1. Don't be stupid
2. a=a
3.Do what you have to do
When in York you can find me at the club, at school, Maple Donuts on E. Market Street, band rehearsals, or gigs.
I do not want to see your newest "pics." And I dont want to chat. I've actually met a few cool people on this thing , but Im not internet dating or whatever you screamo kids do. You better have a good outlook on things and be ready to have a great time if you want to hang out with me. the movie Sideways made me want to be a a wine taster.
Which reminds me, I am also addicted to SOY MILK . It is the best drink ever. Arizona iced tea tallboys for 99c @ the York College bookstore are also pretty tasty, but they contain high fructose corn syrup, which will kill you and your children.
I see alot of shows,and I like to travel and go do interesting things. Recently I have visted New York, North Carolina battlefields, San Francisco, Germany, Boston, and Tennessee (spelling?). Always looking for interesting people to hang out with.
