Buddha-B Rex

...a gasser...most immaculately hip....I was born in Ann Arbor, Mich. (or close enough), but I grew up in Coral Springs, Fl. I graduated from Coral Springs High School in 1989, and after a long nomadic period, got my B.A. in Lit from NYSU in 2001. I currently live in Tucker, Ga. In the past, I have worked for Greenpeace, a psychic hotline, and Applebee's. I once failed a drug test. D'oh! I'm a voracious reader, and if left to my own devices, I'm a couch-fertilizing tuber-root, and a consumer of mass-quantities. I live with my wife, Teresa (my motivator), and my son Luke (2 yrs. old.) in a house we bought last year. I'm a musician. I sing, play bass (my true instrument), guitar, a little keys, and I write.I played with, wrote and produced, and toured with a band called Freak the Jones (www.freakthejones.com) for like...ever...but more recently I've gone 'solo' as Buddha X. I also have a secret, one-off, prog-rock project that my friend, Phil, and I are working on in an undisclosed, underground location. The project is called W.M.D. (which may or may not stand for something other than 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'), and we're working on a 'concept' piece fnord called 'Songs From a Paranoid Mind' (a.k.a. The Unseen Hand). The track posted here, 'Kingdom In The Sky', is the first release from the recently declassified files....Anyway...I also play with Deep Blue Sun, an original 'jam-rock' band (dig the link in 'Friends'), and I play in cover bands galore. I teach music in Cumming, Ga. during the week, and it's a job I dig.Essentially, I'm a 34 year old, middle-class, over-educated, working musician/liberal douchebag, with a pretty good singing voice and a deep-seeded desire to rock 'till I kick it.Oh...and, btw...aliens...are...real...(don't ask me how I know)....
