A Friend Called Fire - JC Productions
Jon & Mike D. - IRON MAN MOVIE TRIBUTE!
I play guitar and sing in a kick-ass band from Chicago dubbed A FRIEND CALLED FIRE with my buds Powers and Aaron J. You can check us out at afriendcalledfire.net and myspace.com/afriendcalledfire.
This page is dedicated to the music I am working on in many different environments. There are a variety of styles I write and play and a lot of great friends and musicians I have the pleasure of playing them with....there's a little bit of everything here I suppose....but not enough of it at all.
"THE STORMY MILE" was recorded with some friends from a previous band, The Morning Stares. Will and Rick dropped some killer bass and drums! You might say it's "Hot 2 Def."
Hey Rick - "Do you think I'm lonely?? WELL THEN GET ON MY. . . !!!!"
"READING THE VIOLET SKY" is a song I wrote and Kevin "Aeroshell" and I decided to record the guitar and vocals in the the park across the street from my place one night.
It was dark and Senior Citizens Memorial Park was all ours...except for a man Kevin said walked in front of us while I was recording the vocals with the headphones on. My eyes weren't open, but I think if I would have opened them in mid-take I would have been freaked the hell out to see some old man silhouette in front of me. Maybe.
Kevin took it back to his place and added some really cool shit.
We've got it to tape, so there's no reason for it to sit around.
The track "MORNING CIRCUS" on this page is a demo by my previous band LUTHER'S FALL out of VA. I thought those of you familiar with LF would appreciate hearing it and those who aren't should be exposed (www.luthersfall.rmnet.com)....
"HOLD ON TO YOUR CHILDREN" is a tune written by Aeroshell....I added some gee-tar and there you have it...a nice, long, chilled-out, bad-assed tune. Techno/shoegaze with some Allegretto drizzled on top. Your favorite new dessert, I know.
....And to those who like to bask in the lighter side of the yin-yang, please enjoy "GHOSTS" and "DARKSIDE (OF LOVE)" from my late 2005 acoustic-based EP "Lights In The Dark." A special thanks goes out to HEX, who was kind enough to lend his much appreciated percussion and drumming talents to the project. An acoustic version of the song "Morning Circus" can be found on my solo EP as well.........
STAY TUNED. . . . . .
