About Me

Hi! Rainy Day Cacophony has always been and always will be a musical project featuring the musicality of my friends and i. This congregation of like-minded musical souls has been going on since 1999 and has been documented with various tapes and a couple of cd’s. I took a hiatus with this project due to my involvement with other bands (Guys in the Van and Showcase.) Since 2006 I have been back into it and have been writing a few songs. The first batch is featured on an album called Chainsaw Pop. Which was a solo effort due to crazy work schedules, existential crisis, and life in general. Ask and you shall receive (the album, that is.) Currently Justin Maynard has been playing bass and writing songs with me (Tim Sutton the Korean guitar player responsible for this mess.) Thanks goes to all the awesome bands that have shared a stage, all the kind people that have taken pictures, come out to shows, or just had some encouraging words to say. You know who you are. More events will take place as this project unfolds....
